Full Moon Family Wellness & Birth Center is located on the corner of Mission Street and Chrystal Terrace in Santa Cruz. It is the first birthing center in the county in over four decades, offering another option for a natural birth experience. We have two birthing rooms, experienced midwives, doulas and holistic health practitioners for the whole family, as well as many groups and classes for families in the childbearing years, ranging from couples retreats to classes on topics like the natural development of babies, breastfeeding, and how to utilize chemicals released in the brain during birthing. For families who would like a non-hospital birth, but don’t necessarily want to birth at their home, Full Moon is a great option.
