De-Medicalising Birth: A Better Way to Welcome Our Babies?
For too long, modern maternity care has treated childbirth as a clinical emergency rather than the sacred, physiological event it truly is. But what if there’s a better way—one that centres women, honours the body’s wisdom, and restores dignity and trust to the birthing process?
Join us on 7th July 2025 for a powerful online event hosted by the World Council for Health, featuring international speakers, midwives, doctors, birth activists and human rights advocates.
- Lucinda van Buuren – WCH Nursing and Midwifery
- Victoria Rixon – Former UK NHS Midwife and Whistleblower
- Nickita Stark – Birth Activist, Teacher and Traditional Birth Attendant
- Fiona Marlow – Midwife, Nurse and Occupational Therapist
- Sierra Emrich Hamm – Integrative Family Health Consultant
We’ll explore how birth has become increasingly medicalised, often at the expense of mothers’ autonomy and mothers’ and babies’ wellbeing. Through compelling insights and lived experiences, our speakers will challenge the status quo and offer a new (yet ancient) perspective—one that’s rooted in evidence, humanity, and deep respect for life’s most sacred beginning.
👶 What You’ll Learn:
- The hidden costs of over-medicalised birth
- How fear, power, and control shape modern maternity care
- The science and beauty of physiological birth
- Stories from the front lines of birth activism
- How to advocate for human-centered care in any birth setting
