Facility
Santa Fe Birth Center is a remodeled adobe home with wood floors, vigas, and plastered walls. The Center is centrally located on Saint Francis Drive; inside the thick adobe walls remarkably quiet rooms invite calm relaxation. Every carefully considered element of the warm physical environment encourages one's inner strength and ability to give birth.
Birth Rooms
The Center has two birth rooms of differing styles designed to augment the intimate work of labor. The Garden Room windows open to a walled four season garden with a flagstone patio, bubbling fountain and sweet smelling plants. The Grotto’s wood floor, vigas, and latillas, contribute to its intimate interior, holding atmosphere. Key aspects that create a reassuring birth environment in both birth rooms include private tubs and showers, adjustable lighting, openable windows, and accommodations for support people. Separate ground floor entries into each birth room from the outside require no intermediary office, stairs or elevator for laboring people and families.
“May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
May the clarity of light be yours,
May the fluency of the ocean be yours,
May the protection of the ancestors be yours.”
