NEW! Check out our calendar of classes! Fall programming starts September 1st.
The Sonoma Valley Birth Center (SVBC) was our second private, stand-alone facility, the only one of its kind in Sonoma County. Like its sister facility in Napa, SVBC is medically equipped and staffed by trained and licensed caregivers. Take a virtual tour below. OR - schedule a free consultation with a midwife here:
At SVBC, we understand pregnancy and childbirth to be a natural biological process, not a medical condition. For the vast majority of pregnancies (at least 80% according to world health advisories), medical intervention is not necessary. But when rare complications do occur, we are less than 4 minutes from Sutter Santa Rosa emergency room and expert medical care.
SVBC is staffed and operated by The Midwives Childbirth Services and their licensed and highly experienced midwives and birth assistants. The services we offer span all stages of pregnancy from prenatal to childbirth to postpartum care. For a more detailed description of those services, tap here.
And if you would like to learn more about SVBC, or to take a tour in person, contact us for a free consultation with a licensed midwife. We can't wait to meet you!
We are delighted to offer a series of pregnancy and birth-related classes at our lovely Santa Rosa facility. All of our programs are taught by licensed and experienced instructors. Have a look and see if any of them would work for you!
