Listening to Women

Standing, pacing, kneeling, rocking and sitting on an exercise ball were all useless. The only comfortable position I could find was sitting on the BirthRite Seat. I know that without it I would not have coped anywhere near as well as I did .

— Christa Goretzki
Mother, VIC, Australia


The BirthRite Floor Studio is not only thoughtfully designed, it is moreover a very carefully planned holistic concept. Inviting, simple and versatile, the Studio addresses the most important physiological and psychological issues in childbirth. We love it!

— Li Thies-Lagergren
Senior Midwife, Helsingborg, Sweden


I have been consistently satisfied with the usefulness of the BirthRite Studio in the situation of normal births as well as breech births. I feel women would be most disadvantaged if they did not have the benefit of using it.

— Dr Andrew Bisits, FRACOG
Director of Obstetrics, NSW, Australia


The BirthRite is a resounding success in my practice. Every woman who has tried it spontaneously says they can feel both where and how the baby needs to move down through the pelvis, and they do really well at getting it done.

Reg. Midwife Practitioner, Peaster, TX, USA


I have had nothing but successful birth after successful birth. The BirthRite was the best investment I have ever made!

The BirthRite is awesome! We delivered a VBAC client on the BirthRite Seat, who had been told her contracted pelvis would NEVER accommodate even a normal size baby! Well, her baby was 4300g!!! She was so very pleased!

— Gayle Riedmann, CNM
President, West Suburban Midwife Associates, IL, USA


At the hospital, the first thing I did was sit on the BirthRite Seat. I felt immediately comfortable and was relieved not to have to continually move or search for a comfortable position. I was able to remain calm, relaxed, surprisingly still and breathe my baby out gently.

— Robyn Barraclough
Mother, ACT, Australia


We have now used the Floor Studio for seven labours, and all the women liked using the Studio. Our midwives are very satisfied, too.

— Fusako Nimii
Head Midwife, Yamada Clinic, Nagoya, Japan


The Floor Studio, and in particular the availability of the Midwife Seat, has enabled me to receive clearance from OH&S to continue working in the birthing suite which I love. It has helped with the rehabilitation of my knee following surgery.

— Jennifer Kenna
Reg. Midwife, Alice Springs Hospital, NT, Australia


I must say I love our BirthRite Seat! It is without doubt the best one we have tried and it is used frequently on the unit. I am happy to share my experiences with anyone interested in using it.

— Anita O’Neill
Unit Manager, St John & St Elizabeth Hospital, London, UK
