A dream birth! Tiago was born like a little fish in water! Thank you to the whole La Roseraie team for the postnatal stay, always so caring.
Tiago, Bruno et Camila
I gave birth twice in this place where time seems to stand still. The care is very professional and the whole team looks after mothers and their babies wonderfully. I warmly recommend this place to anyone who wants a physiological birth that respects their wishes and the natural rhythm of birth.

Gentleness at birth: supporting physiological birth

Birth is a unique moment. The first minutes, the first looks, the first contact between a baby and its parents are moments of great intensity. A calm voice. Soft light. A gentle touch. The reassuring presence of a midwife. The baby placed against its mother. A partner who is there, helping and supporting. At La Roseraie, we give great importance to this environment, which allows birth to unfold with respect…

Natural birth: our bodies, our choices, our future

What if, to experience pregnancy and birth more fully, it was simply important to know all the options that exist? Today, pregnant women and their partners benefit from increasingly precise medical care, which helps prevent, detect and manage many complications. Medicine and hospitals therefore play an essential role in the safety of mothers and newborns. But when a pregnancy is progressing normally, other forms of care can also have their…
