About
We run Birthtalk.org, and specialise in support, understanding and tools for healing from birth trauma, birth grief and birth disappointment.
We are : Debby Gould, mother, midwife, childbirth educator, & doula and Melissa Bruijn, mother of two – her first birth was very traumatic, ending in caesarean, and her second birth was an amazing, wonderful experience (a VBAC).
We are passionate about providing birth education that enables a woman to plan a positive, empowering birth in ANY scenario, and about offering real and relevant support for understanding and healing from traumatic birth.
