Innate Midwifery

Ronda Perea and her team provide personalized midwifery and women’s health services to families in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. Their approach centers on helping women feel informed, confident, and supported through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. The midwives are licensed with the Medical Board of California, and Ronda is a Certified Professional Midwife with training in integrative and functional medicine for women.

Services include comprehensive home-birth care, with prenatal appointments, on-call labor support, birth assistance, and postpartum home visits. For clients planning a hospital or birth-center birth, the team offers Monitrice support, combining doula care with clinical assessments before transfer and emotional support afterward. Well-woman and preconception appointments include health histories, exams, screening, family planning, and lifestyle guidance. Additional offerings include in-home placenta encapsulation and licensed massage therapy.

The practice emphasizes individualized care, education, and respectful collaboration, while referring or transferring clients when needed. Its aim is to help each family experience care that reflects its needs and preferences, with a focus on holistic health and a supportive birth environment.
