Where to find Santa Barbara Birth Center
What parents say
Just yes! Hands down the best decision you can make in your pregnancy is to work with the Birth Center and incredible team of midwives. Their holistic, supportive, and deeply knowledgeable care should be the standard for all people.
Over the past 15 years I have been so fortunate to have the midwives at Santa Barbara Birth Center and SB Midwifery alongside my family for four pregnancies and home births. The Midwifery model of care is absolutely wonderful.
I am filled with gratitude to have had both of my babies through the Santa Barbara Birth Center—one two years ago and another just ten days ago. Words don’t even begin to capture how appreciative I am for the midwives and the extraordinary care they give.
The most empowering, comfortable, personal birthing experience! I am so grateful to the wonderful team at the SB Birth Center for the holistic care, support, and love I experienced throughout my pregnancy, birthing, post partum, and beyond.
