For more than four decades, Santa Barbara Midwifery has been woven into the life of this community. Since 1978, we have had the privilege of accompanying families through one of the most meaningful transitions of their lives—birth—guided by respect, presence, and clinical excellence.

We view pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period as a profound and formative passage—one that is both physiologically normal and deeply significant. When supported with care, trust, and skill, this experience can be a source of strength, confidence, and lasting transformation for the birthing person, their family, and the wider community.

Midwifery care is not something we provide; it is something we practice alongside you. Each journey is unique, and we take the time to listen deeply, to understand your values, your needs, and your hopes for this experience. Our role is to walk with you—steadily, skillfully, and with care—every step of the way.

We welcome all people seeking midwifery care, regardless of gender identity, race, socioeconomic background, religion, family structure, nationality, or sexual orientation. Our commitment is to create a space where every person is met with dignity, safety, and respect.

Here, you are not rushed. You are heard. You are supported—through pregnancy, birth, and beyond—by a team that honors both the science of midwifery and the humanity of those we serve.
