Childbirth is a truly special moment in a woman’s life. While it brings joy and excitement, it’s also natural to feel some apprehension. With their many years of experience, our midwives will gently and thoughtfully prepare you for this experience, and will be by your side throughout the birth. Our caring support is here to help you feel safe, confident, and well looked after every step of the way.

At the birthing centre, you will receive continuous, one-to-one care from a dedicated midwife who is there just for you. We create a calm and supportive environment to ensure your birth experience is as safe and undisturbed as possible—your safety and your baby’s safety are always our top priority.

We see pregnancy, natural birth, and the postnatal period as healthy, natural processes. You can trust that we will respond to all your needs—psychological, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Our midwives are specially trained and experienced, combining the latest medical knowledge with traditional healing methods.

This holistic approach allows us to care for you with empathy and respect, building a true partnership with you and your family. Our goal is to support and strengthen you and your partner on every level as you begin this new chapter together.

 

 
 
 
 
 

Safety for you and your baby

The World Health Organization (WHO) advocates natural birth for healthy women and babies. In its guidelines for intrapartum care, it emphasizes:

  • Birth is a natural physiological process that, in most cases, can proceed without medical intervention.
  • Women should be empowered in their decision-making – including the choice of birth location, birthing position, and support during labor.
  • Medical interventions (such as labor inductions, cesarean sections, or routine episiotomies) should only be used when medically necessary.
  • Respectful care during labor, including respect for the dignity, privacy, and individual needs of the woman giving birth.
  • Your safety and that of your baby are our top priority. That’s why our midwives are trained to quickly identify risks before and during birth and initiate the necessary measures. We maintain close cooperation with our partner hospitals.

During the birth, we transfer to GZO Hospital Wetzikon (just a 7-minute drive away) or to the Uster Hospital (18-minute drive). You are free to choose the hospital, and individual needs can be discussed.

Our long-standing partner for medical care of babies and transfer to the neonatal unit is the KSW Cantonal Hospital Winterthur.

The collaboration and processes with our partner hospitals are well practiced and established. Our listing on the Canton of Zurich’s hospital list means all our services for women (pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period) are covered by basic insurance.
