Catherine Bell

In becoming a Mother, I was frustrated with the 'need to know' nature of maternity, so trained as a birth doula and breastfeeding counsellor and educator to fill the knowledge gap and support other women. Combined with my Master in Science Communication, this led to the development of Birth Cartography and the invention of The Game of Birth. My book, The Birth Map, was evaluated in her PhD study into communication and decision-making in maternity services.
