More about the Santa Barbara Birth Center
At the Santa Barbara Birth Center, we see pregnancy and birth as a sacred event, and a time when women can gain strength and confidence. We believe having a baby is a healthy normal event, and the process itself can contribute greatly to the personal growth of each woman as well as her family and the entire community.
The SB Birth Center is a special resource in our community. The center is the only freestanding Birth Center (501c3 nonprofit) in SB County and without it the options of natural childbirth in this region are very limited.
The Santa Barbara Birth Center midwives are licensed and certified women’s health care practitioners, trained to care for healthy women with low-risk pregnancies. We work in consultation and collaboration with obstetricians, neonatologists and pediatricians, and have a wonderful group of doulas and birth assistants to complete our team.
