We provide holistic, comprehensive, and individualized maternity and well-woman care in Ventura, Ojai, Carpinteria, and the surrounding areas.

Licensed midwives in Southern California do not have hospital privileges, we attend births at home and occasionally birth centers.

We are fee-for-service and the full balance is due by 36 weeks. Based on your plan, we will provide a super-bill or bill your insurance after the baby is born. Reimbursement may vary. To learn more visit the “Cost” page.

Out-of-hospital birth was once the standard for all low-risk women. Midwives are trained and licensed professionals. The scope of care for midwifery is limited to normal pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. You can schedule a consult by visiting the “Contact” page to learn more.
