Midwife services in Auburn, CA
Feel heard, prepared, and supported as you welcome your baby.
Threefold Midwifery provides midwife services in Auburn, CA, for families considering a planned home birth. Led by Grace Stepanova, LM, CPM, our practice centers on a trusting relationship with your midwife—one that makes room for your questions, respects your voice, and recognizes that your experience matters.
Perhaps this is your first pregnancy, and you are still exploring your options. Or perhaps you have given birth before and have a clearer picture of what you want this time. Wherever you are starting, you deserve space to talk about your hopes, your concerns, and what feeling supported would look like for you.
Meet Grace Stepanova, LM, CPM
Grace is a California Licensed Midwife and Certified Professional Midwife. Her background also includes functional nutrition, birth-doula training, and certification as a Body Ready Method Pro.
Her path into midwifery grew from an interest in food, health, and the ways daily life supports well-being. Along the way, she trained with and assisted midwives in Washington and California. She also experienced home birth herself, welcoming her son in her childhood home. Threefold Midwifery
That background informs her interest in the whole person—not only preparations for delivery, but also nutrition, movement, and the transition into life with a baby. Her approach leaves room for both practical preparation and the personal meaning of becoming a parent.
Care That Starts With Getting to Know You
Choosing a midwife is about more than deciding where to give birth. It is about finding someone you feel comfortable asking difficult questions, sharing uncertainty with, and trusting to communicate clearly when you need to make decisions.
You may be wondering whether home birth is right for you, how your partner can be involved, or what happens when labor does not follow the plan you imagined. Those questions belong in the conversation.
At Threefold Midwifery, building a relationship is central to care. Grace’s approach brings together attentive listening, thoughtful communication, and respect for informed choices—without expecting every family to want the same experience.
Prenatal Care With Time for Your Questions
Hour-long prenatal appointments include checking your health, your baby’s growth, and heartbeat, discussing testing options, and preparing for birth. Nutrition and movement guidance also support your preparation.
