About Roots Birth Center and Family Wellness

Roots Community Birth Center was born out of a vision to make out-of-hospital birth accessible and welcoming for all families. Our space was created to make you feel comfortable, welcomed, at ease, and at home. We have extended that vision to make health care at all phases of life for all ages feel the same.

Roots is a small practice, and we intend to keep it that way. This allows us to maintain a personal connection and a sense of individuality with each of the families we serve. By being small, we are able to have room for the unique needs of each family. We have a diverse and dedicated team that believes in serving each family by meeting them where they are in their journey.

We are here for all families. We celebrate the richness that is a family no matter what that looks like. We are truly an open door for anyone looking for gentle, genuine and affirming care!

The Birth of Sapphire

May 11, 2023

Though my Roots baby came in 2022, my story starts years earlier. I decided to pursue
