Our Founder

Zoe Wright RM

Founder & CEO

The RealBirth Programme, was inspired into creation from my extensive experience as a community midwife. Frustrated by the difficulties faced by women and the lack of balanced, evidence-based information that was complex to understand, I set out to make a change. My firsthand experiences highlighted the need for accessible, clear, and comprehensive maternity support that was easy to understand, translated accurately and culturally relevant. The RealBirth programme was born to help guide pregnant women, people and their partners through a journey that prepares them for labour and birth, whilst maternity teams can feel confident that the antenatal information they are providing is clinically accurate, evidence-based, reliable and thorough.
