Much more than a birth centre
A place where warmth, kindness and medical safety come together to welcome your child.
A gentle birth, in complete safety
Since 2012, La Roseraie has supported families through one of the most intense experiences of their lives. Our approach rests on a simple principle: every birth deserves personal care, in a setting that respects its natural rhythm while ensuring the highest level of medical safety.
La Roseraie is the only birth centre in the canton of Geneva, and it is on the Geneva hospital list.
One midwife is with you throughout your pregnancy, your birth and your return home.
