Grantly Dick-Read – Author of ‘Childbirth Without Fear’
Dick-Read was a British Obstetrician and commonly known ‘father ‘of the natural childbirth movement, who understood that parent’s beliefs (around birthing and life) significantly influenced their experience of childbirth. He understood that healthy mothers, with an inner belief that childbirth is a natural and calm process, and those who birthed without fear, tended to birth calmly and ‘without drama’.
Given his experience in cross cultural environments, Dick-Read understood that beliefs were both culturally acquired and also learned. Culture determines the wider context in which belief of childbirth is advertised and played out. Learned beliefs and behaviors/reactions, developed predominantly during the childhood years, are integrated with cultural beliefs and vice versa, creating a personal and inner belief about birth.
Calmbirth® builds on the important work of Dick-Read to provide a practical set of skills to support your intention around childbirth and for life.
