She Births

Practical, compassionate, wise and grounded in both experience and science. – Dr Sarah Buckley, GP and author of Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering

She Births, the world's first scientifically verified childbirth program, has been proven to reduce the need for C-sections by 44 per cent and epidurals by 65 per cent, and is endorsed by obstetricians and midwives. Now for the first time, creator and doula Nadine Richardson shares this vital information in book form, empowering women to reduce pain, prevent unnecessary intervention and reclaim their birth experience. In a world where misinformation and over-medicalisation have created anxiety and fear, She Births offers a new path rooted in the latest evidence-based education and ancient wisdom.

Nadine guides women through the full arc of birth and matrescence – the physiological, emotional and psychological transformation into motherhood. The chapters delve into the amazing ways your body prepares for birth, befriending the body-mind connection and the neuroplasticity of the parenting brain, then offer tools and actions for every stage of labour, creating your birth plan and communicating your preferences. There are also helpful illustrations, partner support strategies and inspiring birth stories from real women like you.

Whether preparing for a natural birth, navigating previous trauma or simply seeking a more conscious approach, She Births is your comprehensive toolkit for a beautiful birth, whatever unfolds.
