Sacred Birth Place

Sacred Birth Place, Center for Childbirth and Wellness is a collection of Midwives, Doulas, and Childbirth Educators who are dedicated to supporting women. We believe that every woman has a right to safe, satisfying health care with respect for human dignity and cultural and spiritual beliefs.

We provide care which respects a woman's needs and values and does not discriminate on the basis of language, culture, age, economic status, health status, sexual orientation and identification, marital status, ability, race or religion. Our practice is centered upon sexuality, reproduction, menopause and the understanding of women as healthy individuals progressing through the cycle of life.

We believe that midwifery is a holistic practice, combining and understanding of the social, emotional, cultural, spiritual, psychological and physical ramifications of a women's reproductive health experience. We believe that homebirth and birth center births allow women to be in control of their birthing experience, create their own community into which their child will be born, and express themselves uniquely and creatively in birth.

The principles of informed choice, continuity of care, women-as-decision-maker, appropriate technology, integrated education and counseling, and peer support provide the basis for our philosophy of care.
