Our Mission
The Birth Roots model is non-clinical, community based education and support throughout pregnancy and the first year of parenting.  Our programs and events build community, encourage instincts and intuition, address social, emotional and non-clinical needs and promote our philosophy of "Community Supported Parenting".

Birth Roots is a 501(c3) non-profit organization devoted to removing obstacles to perinatal health by offering continuous support through pregnancy and postpartum in a community setting.

Our Philosophy

The work of Birth Roots is grounded in the philosophy that the way people are treated at birth (as a mother, as a newborn child and as a family unit) has lasting affects far beyond that one day.

Mothers who feel respected and self-determined in giving birth tend to view themselves as equipped to provide nurturing care as a parent.

Partners who are given tools, modeling and the opportunity for participating in the process of birth tend to be more engaged in their child's development.

Children born in an environment of confidence, awareness and intimacy tend to be more resilient and able to thrive.
