April Durham and KathRyn Barry are licensed midwives based in Sebastopol, California, offering home birth services to families seeking an alternative to hospital-based delivery.

Home Birth Model and Midwifery Expertise
Home birth midwifery represents a distinct approach to obstetric care, grounded in the belief that pregnancy and birth are normal physiological processes. The midwives provide comprehensive prenatal screening, labor management, newborn assessment, and postpartum follow-up in clients’ homes. This setting allows for a more intimate birth experience, with families able to move freely, involve support persons of their choosing, and remain in their own environment immediately after delivery.
The practice serves families in the greater Sonoma County area who meet criteria for low-risk birth. Clients interested in home birth midwifery services should verify that the midwives are accepting new patients and discuss eligibility requirements during an initial consultation.
