Connection drives the essence of GMC

Becoming a mother at just 18 years old forever changed the course of my life. My personal birth experiences awakened a deep passion for the transformative power of childbirth, and in 2014, I stepped into birth work as a doula. I had the privilege of witnessing the raw strength, resilience, and beauty of laboring mothers, and I quickly realized how vital it is for women to have unwavering support—especially in hospital settings that don’t always align with their natural birth goals
After years of guiding families through some of their most sacred moments…

Home Birth

Choosing a home birth with a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) offers a safe, personalized, and empowering experience. CPMs provide relationship-based care, continuous support, and a lower risk of unnecessary interventions while allowing families to birth in a familiar, comfortable environment. Research shows that planned home births for low-risk pregnancies are safe under the care of skilled midwives.

I bring modern tools and medications to ensure safety while honoring the natural birth process. With comprehensive prenatal, birth, and postpartum support, I help families feel confident and cared for every step of the way.

Serving

Midwife Grace  serves many communities within southeast Louisiana and southwest Mississippi.

Our goal is to offer care to all low risk healthy families desiring community birth. We offer home birth within a 1hr and 10 min radius of Madisonville. We also offer birth at the Slidell birth studio where you can achieve the experience of home birth away from home.

  • “I could never say enough good things about Grace & the practice she has put together. Some words that come to mind are: loving, caring, kind, gentle, patient. Her heart is midwifery and you can tell by just talking to her for a minute. Can’t imagine birthing with anyone else. She will always hold a special place in my heart ♥️ All of the women I come across in her birth studio are all so kind and loving. You can truly tell they all love their work..”

  • “I am so thankful for the midwives at Grace Midwifery Collective. I love how my son and daughters were included in my prenatal care, and having them at my birth was everything I had hoped for. The midwives answered their questions and made everyone feel safe and comfortable. I love that I never had to worry about anything being done without my informed consent. They went above and beyond to get to know me and my family. I felt supported and empowered to trust my body and my intuition. After the birth, since I didn’t need lactation support, grace set up a postpartum massage in my home, which was exactly what I needed! I wish every woman had the opportunity to experience the beauty of homebirth with a team of women like GMC.”

  • “A birth story is shaped by intention. I was asked, what is your intention and then we set a standard to achieve it. It doesn’t mean you won’t face giants. It means you and your care provider having your intended heart posture no matter how long the labor, heavy decisions, or results that are not ideal. Together, you can set the atmosphere. Leila enveloped our intention, with an absence of fear. She set the stage for the desires of our hearts. We were lead through informed consent and supported through the laughter and the tears. There was never once a lack of hope or confidence. The intention turned into reality as we walked hand in hand through this transformative experience. With her excellence in practice and delightful charm, I would welcome anyone to invite her into your story.”

  • “I have supported two home births now as a doula where Grace was the midwife. I am impressed with her professional and calming energy. From my point of view, as the doula, her encouragement with the laboring moms and partner are incredible. You trust Grace’ instinct the moment she walks into the room, any fear or cortisol that was building, melts away and it’s just oxytocin flowing. Her current midwife assistants Charisa and Alexandra are just as knowledgeable and calming as Grace. If I were to have children, I would immediately hire the team at Grace Midwifery Collective for my prenatal care and birth team.”
