Emily Coots is a south Louisiana native who values life, no matter what form. Emily found her calling of birth work through having children of her own. After a traumatic first birth, that she firmly believes could’ve been prevented with the proper knowledge, she began researching and educating herself to prepare for any future birth she may have. After achieving two natural births, she realized that medical autonomy is largely unheard of in the birthing world and knew that needed to change. She has made it her life mission to educate women on labor and birth to prevent the continuing pattern of unsupported and preventable trauma happening in such a vulnerable time in their lives. Emily is a mother of three, enjoys spending time with her family, loves animals, and hopes to bring peace to those she supports through birth and loss.

Hello, Grace Jackson here I am the owner of Grace Midwifery Birth Center and a Certified Professional Midwife, licensed in the state of Louisiana . I am committed to offering pregnant women more individualized, intimate care. I believe that a mother should be in control of her birth experience as an active and informed decision maker every step of the way. From the very first appointment, to the moment she holds her baby in her arms, she is in control. Childbirth, when viewed from an empowered and connected frame of mind, has the potential to be a beautiful, transformative, life changing event. I fully believe that birthing is a normal physiological process in a woman’s life and when supported by a healthy lifestyle, little intervention is ever needed. I see myself as more of a birth guardian who walks alongside a mother, making sure she has the utmost reassurance and guidance. Birth is natural and beautiful; it can be a completely different experience when not approached from a fear based mindset. Instead, we choose to approach pregnancy and birth with positive, evidence based information as a biologically normal experience. After a 4 year comprehensive apprenticeship, I earned my Certified Professional Midwives (CPM) license. This credentialing is the national gold standard for midwifery certification. It is only available after demonstrating the experience and skills necessary to attend an out-of-hospital birth. The candidate that passes an extensive exam administered by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM), is required to maintain current certification in adult, infant and neonatal CPR and resuscitation. I am also licensed by the state of Louisiana and recognized by the Board of Medical Examiners as a licensed caregiver. As a midwife, it is my duty to stay up to date with evidence based information as well as ongoing education. To date, I have attended over 270 births.
