One of the most common ways people end up on my blog is after they Google “Diane Tandy.” Diane is a Catholic certified nurse midwife who delivered my last two babies and helped to give me the most beautiful birth experiences. (The picture above is from my most recent birth this past April.)
I’ve been meaning to give an update on Diane’s contact information so that other women who are lucky enough to be in the Atlanta area might be able to use her services. Diane is now with Gifts of Grace, a Christian-based OB/GYN practice. In fact, I saw her in her new office just this week.
Diane is a compassionate and skilled health professional. But she is so much more. She not only helps deliver “gifts of grace,” but she herself is a gift to women, babies, and families. She is also a woman of faith and a courageous defender of the inviolability of human life.
Diane has over 20 years of midwifery experience and for the past seven years, she has been reaching out to women in crisis pregnancies, providing free ultrasounds, reduced prenatal care, and sometimes even a place to call home by opening her door to girls who have nowhere to turn. Above all, Diane gives hope to women who feel hopeless. In doing so, she saves countless lives.
According to Diane, midwifery didn’t always top her career list. “I wanted to go into the medical field so I could look after elderly people, but every time I tried to go into geriatrics, I’d be pulled back into OB,” says Diane, who estimates she’s delivered more than 10,000 babies since she started practicing in 1982. “I didn’t choose midwifery. God chose for me.” (This is an excerpt from an article I wrote for Canticle called “Diane Tandy’s Special Deliveries.” Read the rest here. Please also consider reading Mary Elizabeth’s birth story to get a glimpse into the kind of birth experience Diane helps give families.)
Here’s Diane’s new practice information:

Oh I am so jealous…. Can I come to GA to deliver? :)
I am so glad to get an update! Please tell her I said 'hi'!
To all of you Diane Tandy followers:
There will be a "Meet and Greet" your midwife over at Gifts from Grace on October 27th, at 7h30pm.

Diane is no longer with Gifts from Grace. She will truly be missed :( Does anyone have any updates of where she might be now?
I am also trying to track Diane down – she delivered my baby boy in January and though it was a difficult delivery she did such an awesome job. I hate that she left the practice – might she be doing home births now?
Any body know any new info on Diane Tandy? She also delivered my baby boy this may and my friend and I are trying to track her down before either of us have another.
Hello,
I read on the FB page for C Section awareness that Diane is no longer with Gifts From Grace…she was supposedly fired because she left the country unexpectedly to care for her seriously ill father in Africa, and the doctor claimed he could not find her. But that is only second-hand knowledge. I surely wish I could track her down, she did a great job delivering my 3rd, despite it being a very difficult birth, and we are now expecting our 4th. Not crazy about any of the other practices around here.
I too would love to know where she’s at now. Any ideas?
Diane is now with Lanier obgyn in Gainesville, ga
