Southern Oregon

Birth Cottage

Homebirth, in the Cottage

The Southern Oregon Birth Cottage offers the comfort, intimacy, and autonomy of homebirth within a thoughtfully designed, grounding space. For families who want a peaceful, supported out-of-hospital birth but would prefer not to labor at home, our Birth Cottage provides a beautiful alternative.

Designed for Comfort and Safety

Our Birth Cottage is more than a clinic—it’s a space intentionally created to reflect the warmth and familiarity of home. Nestled in a quiet, accessible location, the cottage offers:

  • A private, cozy birthing suite that feels like home

  • A comfortable bed, a deep soaking tub for labor, and a serene atmosphere to support your physiological birth process

  • A full kitchen for nourishment during labor and postpartum recovery

  • A family-friendly sitting area where loved ones can gather and support you

Everything you need for a safe, supported birth—within a warm, welcoming, and home-like setting.

Why Choose the Birth Cottage?

The Birth Cottage is perfect for families who:

  • Want an out-of-hospital birth but don’t feel comfortable or aligned with birthing at home

  • Live in housing that doesn’t accommodate labor and birth (shared spaces or other restrictions)

  • Prefer to travel to a designated birthing space that provides privacy, peace, and all the comforts of home

  • Are on Oregon Health Plan (OHP)

With access to skilled, licensed midwives, assistants, and doulas, your care at the cottage reflects the same personalized, client-centered support you would receive in a homebirth setting.

What to Expect

During Labor and Birth:
Your midwife will have everything needed to support your birth at the cottage, including supplies, monitoring tools, and emergency equipment. The space is yours to move freely—whether you’re laboring in the tub, resting in the bed, or walking in the quiet rooms of the cottage.

After Your Baby is Born:
We honor the golden hours after birth, giving you time to bond, rest, and settle in with your baby. Around 4 hours postpartum, once you are stable, nourished, and ready, you’ll return home to continue your recovery with follow-up home visits from your midwifery team.
