Partners need more than reassurance in the birth room

Nadine Richardson is known for her work in childbirth education through She Births®, described in her profile as the world’s only scientifically verified childbirth education program. Her work sits at the point where evidence, preparation, and the lived experience of birth meet: helping families understand how better education can shape birth outcomes and make the transition into parenthood less overwhelming.

As CEO and Founder, Nadine brings a clear point of view to a space that is often full of fear, conflicting advice, and fragmented information. She speaks to the gap between what many families are told about birth and what they can experience when they are given high quality, evidence-based preparation. Her authority comes from building a program designed around better births and easier beginnings for parents, while staying grounded in practical support rather than idealised birth messaging.

Nadine can speak with clarity about why childbirth education matters, what families often misunderstand before birth, and how preparation can influence confidence, communication, and decision-making. She is also able to connect the physical, emotional, and transformational dimensions of birth in a way that feels both informed and human. Her work gives her a lens on the wider conversation around maternal wellbeing, informed choice, birth culture, and the early transition into parenthood.
