  • Brilliant

    Amazing podcast, super helpful, trauma informed, inclusive. Really opened my eyes to how the birth system in UK is institutionalised and how doctors push for c -sections and inductions before you’ve had half the chance to try naturally. Women who are fear-mongered by the system into not trusting their own body because of a lack of understanding into the physiology of labour. Thanks Sally Ann for empowering us to know we were made for birth and can do this!

  • Essential listening!

    As a birth doula I always recommend this podcast to the families I work with. Everyone should take advantage of Sallyann’s vast knowledge and experience. There’s no jargon, it’s amazing for people with no knowledge of birth but equally, those who work in this world every day!
