Founder Statement
Birth Right founder Susan Ross
I am a Midwife of 35 years, Author of the book ‘Birth Right™’, Childbirth Educator, Doula, Trainer, Mother and Director of Birth Right™.
For the last 3 decades I have worked in Public and Private Hospitals in the city, country, overseas and community health. My private practice has provided information, education and support for pregnant, labouring and post-natal women, their partners and families for the last 20 years.
I am passionate about ensuring women understand all their choices, irrespective of their health care status, this is YOUR Birth Right™. It is important to ‘shop around’ for the best care, including your primary caregiver, doula, pre-natal course and post-natal care. This is YOUR pregnancy, YOUR labour and birth and YOUR baby.
I want women to appreciate the importance of ‘continuity of care’ empowering them to feel confident in their ability to labour and birth, and enjoy becoming parents. This is one of the most precious times in your life. I created Birth Right™ so that women have access to accurate, evidence based information and support from a midwife with over 30 years hands-on experience. We will address the myths, misconceptions and fears of the unknown.
