Her third sector career has focused on solving strategic challenges and building organisations from scratch including Make Birth Better, 10 of zen, Wings for Life UK and Read International. Nikki runs the ship and shapes the strategy for Make Birth Better and her deep drive comes from her lived experience of birth trauma and postnatal PTSD.</p><p></p><h3>Dr Rebecca Moore</h3><p>Rebecca works as a Perinatal Psychiatrist in London, dealing with infertility, pregnancy loss, anxiety, depression, OCD and trauma. She’s got experience spanning over twenty years. She developed a particular interest in birth trauma, which led to founding the annual Birth Trauma Conference and Make Birth Better with Emma in 2018.</p><p></p><h2><strong><strong>About Make Birth Better</strong></strong></h2><p>We are a unique collective of parents and professionals working together to make birth better for all, including the road before and the journey beyond. We exist to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of birth trauma through clinically-led training, support and campaigning.</p><p>Birth trauma describes symptoms of trauma relating to birth and/or circumstances around the birth. Between 25-40% of women in the UK find some aspect of their birth traumatic and between 3-8% of women who give birth in the UK will suffer from postnatal PTSD. Birth trauma causes a ripple effect and effects partners and professionals too. We believe that birth can be better. We drive systemic change through the provision of expert-led training including a wide range of free resources.</p>
