Beyond the Birth Plan (paperback)

Research shows most women want a ‘natural’ birth but say they aren’t able to in hospital. My books unpack why that is so, and what women can do about it in their birth preparation.

In Beyond the Birth Plan I outline the all-important emotional preparation, drawing on brain science, psychology, midwifery research, polyvagal theory, and the personal stories of many women I have supported to birth the way they want.

Whatever your intentions for labour and whatever its ultimate pathway, the emotional preparation I guide you through here will have benefits for you, your baby and the many years of parenting to come.
