Hero background

The story of The Birth Center starts, as expected, with a birth; my birth.

My name is Erietta Kourkoulou-Latsi and I have nothing to do with midwifery (I don’t have a midwifery background). However, Katerina Georgakoula, co-founder and independent midwife, has supported hundreds of women before, during and after labour. The Birth Center was born from our shared dream: the creation of the first Freestanding Birth Center in Greece. Three years later, with the help of people who believed in this vision, we managed to make it happen.

Our vision

With respect, knowledge and love, we create an environment where every woman will feel free, confident and safe to bring her child into the world as she wishes.

Natural birth: a unique experience

In The Birth Center individualised care is offered, based on the midwifery centred model, and women have the opportunity to have a birth experience that responds to their needs and wishes, in a safe and familiar environment. Our wish is to create an environment in which women will be at the center and will feel empowered to welcome their children with love, respect and care.

Pregnancy Groups

Preparing for your child’s arrival is a transformative but also a full-of-challenges period. At the Birth Center we believe that education during your journey to parenthood is empowering and helps you make choices that match your needs and values.
