As a team of midwives, we promote natural birth and offer holistic care during your pregnancy, birth and postpartum. This promotes trust in us and enables you to experience a self-determined birth and to improve your body confidence. A birth centre like this one creates a warm atmosphere for the whole family and enables you to give birth far away from the hectic hospital routine. In this way, you can devote yourself fully to yourself and your baby.

In a preliminary discussion with the midwife, we will evaluate whether a birth in a birth centre is an option for you.

During the birth, you will be accompanied by your midwife team and receive intensive personal care. With little medical or technical effort, we enable you to experience a self-determined, natural birth. In addition to relaxation and breathing exercises, we use various complementary medical methods and take care of your well-being. The rooms in the Geburtshaus Zollikerberg are bright and friendly, so that you feel comfortable and secure. They are equipped with various aids such as birthing stools, exercise balls, towels and a wooden birthing bathtub. The family rooms are large and comfortably furnished so that you can move around freely.

Tours will be possible as of 1 September 2023.
