I recommend Jade Lotus Midwifery, I had a really wonderful experience with Lis. Also Mason Cornelius is fabulous, her apprentice and I are very good friends. I have had two wonderful homebirths and can't recommend it enough! You may also call Susan Claypool, I'm not sure if she's working right now but she is the most experienced midwife in Northern California and she's in Oakland! ###-###-####.

Hi there. I highly recommend the women of Awakenings Birth Services. Juli, Deborah, and Sharon are the most amazing home birth midwives I have known in the bay area. They are unbelievably knowledgeable, compassionate, and open to what you need and want for your birth. Their website is:

For my pregnancy & birth I had the midwives at Awakenings Birth Services. I planned a homebirth with birthing tub, but gave birth at St. Luke's due to pre-eclampsia and they were so supportive through the whole process. I also have attended two homebirths of a friend with them. www.awakeningsbirthservices.com
