Holistic Birthing Center NYC

Begin Your Journey to an Empowered, Undisturbed Birth Experience

Holistic Birthing Center NYC was founded to empower women to lead their birth process and trust in their bodies’ ability to give birth. Our center provides care in a way that honors childbirth as a mother-led, natural process. We are a sanctuary for women who want to be trusted and listened to in labor, and birth intuitively. Our center offers an integration of conventional, cutting-edge midwifery care with traditional, evidence-based medical practice.

We individualize our care to respect our clients’ informed choices. All aspects of evidence based prenatal care and testing are offered to clients during clinical visits. Clients can decline certain tests, if they desire to. We utilize the shared decision model making between midwife and client when discussing the various testing options.

At HBC NYC, women labor and birth in the positions that feel most comfortable to them. Often women choose an upright position that leverages gravity. Laboring and birthing on hands and knees, kneeling, or squatting are common choices. Our clients eat and drink as they please in labor, as supported by the American College of Nurse Midwives for physiologic birth. IV fluids are reserved for those who benefit from it, and are not given routinely. Women can choose to be mobile during labor. The physiologic process is respected. Women can labor in the shower or birth in the birthing pool.Our fetal monitors are waterproof. Monitoring is done intermittently, not continuously, as per evidence based midwifery practice.

During the initial postpartum period, mother and baby are offered skin to skin contact, uninterrupted. Breastfeeding may be initiated then. Our team is dedicated to helping families who choose to breastfeed do so successfully!

We strive to ensure each mother and baby have a safe, rewarding birth journey. Our midwifery team has ready access to consultation with our medical doctors to provide excellent care focused on the well-being of the entire family.

Our spacious, upscale birthing suites are designed for relaxation and mobility during labor. Each birthing room is equipped with up-to-date medical technology and water birth options.
