Sacred Roots Midwifery,

What Sacred Roots Midwifery, does

Sacred Roots Midwifery, doing business as Indiana Birth Center, operates a single CABC-accredited freestanding birth center located at 6620 Parkdale Place, Suite K, Indianapolis, Indiana. The company delivers a midwifery-led care model for low-risk pregnancies through Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs), supported by birth assistants and integrated clinical protocols. Its core offering bundles four service lines: comprehensive prenatal care (60-minute initial visits and 30-minute follow-ups), birth center services in three private birthing suites equipped with deep labor tubs for hydrotherapy and water birth, postpartum and newborn care across four scheduled visits in the first six weeks, and ongoing Well-Body & GYN services (annual wellness, fertility awareness, preconception counseling, and family planning). Comfort measures include birth balls, peanut balls, birthing stools, nitrous oxide, TENS units, and unrestricted eating and movement during labor.

The center's technology footprint is minimal: a Client Care Portal for scheduling and communication, an educational blog with 18+ articles, and standard insurance verification workflows. There is no proprietary software, no AI/ML layer, and no developer-facing API. Documented clinical outcomes include a ~6% cesarean rate (vs. 25%+ in hospitals for low-risk pregnancies), a 94.5% breastfeeding initiation rate, and ~75% of clients using hydrotherapy during labor with ~50% delivering in water.

Revenue mechanics are split between self-pay packages (one-time, with payment plans available) and insurance reimbursement. The center is in-network with BCBS/Anthem PPO and Christian Healthcare Ministries, with out-of-network benefits verification for other commercial plans; Medicaid and TRICARE are explicitly out-of-network. Pricing is positioned at 30-40% below equivalent uncomplicated hospital vaginal birth charges. The GTM motion is relationship-led: free in-person tours convert to prenatal enrollment, followed by 24/7 midwife access throughout the pregnancy and a 4-6 hour postpartum discharge. The company came under new ownership in June 2025 when it was acquired by Birth Partners, INC, a strategic operator with experience launching and supporting freestanding birth centers, and a rebrand is planned alongside facility expansion at the North location to add classroom and community space.

• Oula: Modern maternity care provider combining midwifery, obstetrics, and postpartum support with a focus on pregnancy, birth, and the 'fourth trimester.' Overlaps with Indiana Birth Center's midwifery-led, relationship-based model but operates with hybrid clinic/birth-center approach.
• Millie: California-based maternity care platform offering midwife-led prenatal, birth, and postpartum services, including birth-center access. Partial overlap with Indiana Birth Center in target market and care model, with an emerging technology-enabled layer.

Broad incumbents
