Welcome to Qiara Life Club

Qiara's Emma Park talks to Birth Cartographer and author of The Birth Map, Catherine Bell, educator and advocate for informed decision-making and women-led maternity care. Catherine is paving the way to change policy and create better and more empowered experiences for mums and maternity care workers, and she’s a joy to speak with!​

After experiencing a lack of information during her own motherhood journey, Catherine, a mother-of-three obtained her Masters in Science Communication and trained as a doula and breastfeeding counsellor to share crucial knowledge with other mums. Her website aims to improve communication in maternity services, and her next mission is to test her Birth Cartography hypothesis with a PhD study. She believes it has the potential to improve birth for everyone involved.​
