Birth

A positive birth experience does not have to be 'natural' or at home with fairy lights and drug free, nor does it have to be a scheduled medical event. A positive birth is when a woman feels safe, informed, heard, and respected, and can birth without fear.

It's not about what happens, it's about HOW it happens.

After many years of extensively investigating birth trauma, I've compiled a collection of my favourite resources and people to guide you. Navigating the complexities of the birthing system, asking the right questions, and discerning accurate information can be challenging. I've been in your shoes, and I hope this curated resource proves invaluable, offering you a path to a birthing experience that is uniquely yours.
