About Santa Barbara Midwifery
Santa Barbara Midwifery is an independent midwifery practice that is the exclusive contracted provider of services for the non-profit Santa Barbara Birth Center.
Since 1978 SB Midwifery has had the privilege of working with people during one of the most transformational times in their life- the birth of their children. We see pregnancy and birth as a sacred event, and a time when someone 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 person as well as their family and the entire community. It is our commitment to support and guide each person along this path.
We welcome people seeking our care who are any gender, color, class, religion, family constellation, nationality or sexual orientation.
We are ready to listen to you, learn about what you need, love you and support you all the way through!
We are excited to announce that through the support of The Victoria Project we are able to offer financial assistance to a limited number of families with due dates from July 1-November 31, 2024. Reach out soon!
