And anyone else prepared to be inspired by these women and their journey!

THIS IS PART 1 – BE SURE TO LISTEN TO PART 2 – ♡

Debby and Melissa share with us their stories of birth and with that their journey to BirthTalk and the recently published How to Heal a Bad Birth. We begin in Part 1 with Deb’s first birth and how she managed to rally her strong support team together and inform her self on her choices in birth. Her labour was a long 30 hours with a vaginal birth. During this time her sister in law Melissa was anxious on her outcome after her enduring birth that resulted in a cesarean a few years earlier.  Part 1 & 2 we will hear about their connection to each other through out their birth journeys and how BirthTalk come about from these experiences. Listening to these stories struck a chord with my own personal experiences. I could not get enough of their wise journey, you will feel the same! The infomraiton you will receive from this journey will become invaluable as you prepare for what ever your birth jounery may hold.

“How to Heal a Bad Birth” is the brainchild of Debby Gould and Melissa Bruijn, founders of Birthtalk.org. Since 2002, through Birthtalk.org, they have specialised in ‘moving on after a bad birth’, and provided unique and essential support to those impacted by a difficult, disappointing or traumatic birth.

Debby and Melissa each bring to the table a diverse set of knowledge and insights garnered from their years of experience.  Debby is a trained midwife, childbirth educator and doula, and mother of two.  Melissa is a mum of three who had a traumatic experience with her first birth and felt the full impact of this, before healing and moving on. Debby and Melissa are also family.As sisters-in-law they have seen first-hand how a traumatic birth can impact upon the early months and years of parenting, and were inspired to create Birthtalk.org with the desire that no other family should experience such isolation, desperation and confusion after a birth.

This book is the realisation of their dream to spread their understanding, information and proven tools about healing as widely as possible.
