The Birthing Place
About
We are a team of experienced, BIPOC local doulas and birthing professionals serving families in search of a safe, serene, and deeply supportive alternative to birthing low-risk pregnancies in hospitals. We see birth differently and are committed to creating a space for families who want a more holistic, natural, and safe experience of childbirth. Our approach in providing individualized prenatal, birth, and postnatal care reduces maternal and infant stress and provides family support beyond what is traditionally available in hospitals. Our goal is to create a sanctuary that offers personalized loving support for the planning, expectant, and newly blossomed family.

Core Values
Birth is a transformative time.
We trust in the birthing process and believe in offering support towards a natural childbirth by recognizing and honoring this simple yet important principle.
We are client and community centered.
We recognized the value of community and our clients are part of this community. We firmly believe the client and their family comes first, so midwives and staff shall be as flexible as possible when it comes to fullfilling client needs.
We carefully partner with our clients.
We recognize that each client is a whole person – within themselves, their families, their community, and society as a whole. We value our clients’ participation in our revered process of “shared decision making”.
We provide the highest quality of care.
We strive for every single birth to be a safe and positive experience in a family’s life, that they might look back on it with a sense of awe and self reverence, that they may feel fully seen and heard throughout all their experience at The Birthing Place.
We respect our staff family.
We aim to foster a culture of uplifting our team members to truly bring their best to their work in what we believe to be a special birthing center.
We are Midwife-Led.
We practice a blend of age-old midwifery wisdom and innovative state of the art, evidence-based care. Our unique group of culturally sensitive midwives will honor the ceremony of birth while upholding the principles in science and research.
We take pride in quality collaboration.
Family wellness consists of many connected parts; massage, chiropractic support, acupuncture, mental health counseling and collaborating physicians are utilized when helpful.
We are a village that uplifts one another.
We aim to provide a hub where community members can be supported by one another. Modern life in NYC can be isolating, yet we strive to create an environment where no one feels alone in their experiences.
We believe in Birth and Reproductive Justice.
Providing a safe option for all New Yorkers, paying special attention to marginalized communities, recognizing the critical need to improve maternal and infant health outcomes for those most negatively impacted by the shortcomings of our healthcare system.
