For three years, Birthland has served the Oakland community, offering pre- and post-natal services and supporting families in all birth settings. We partnered with local birthworkers to provide holistic care, including bodywork, lactation support, and childbirth education, while maintaining financial accessibility through a sliding fee scale. Our goal was to create a safe, welcoming space for all.

Now, we’re expanding with the Birthland Wellness Center—an inclusive, freestanding birth center offering comprehensive midwifery care and wrap-around perinatal services. We aim to improve birth experiences, reduce unnecessary interventions, and promote wellness-focused maternity care, particularly for low-income women and communities of color.

Follow our campaign to raise $4 million to open a birth and wellness center in Oakland through our non-profit arm, the Birthland Wellness Fund (bwellfund.org).
