About Vicky Thompson

Vicky is a complementary health practitioner. After being recommended a c-section when she fell pregnant, and dismayed at the lack of unbiased birthing information readily available to women in South Africa, she began her own research, and was shocked at her findings. - Suffice to say, she had two water births assisted by a Midwife, Karen Clark and Doula, Lana Petersen in the safety and comfort of her own home and is now a passionate believer and advocator of natural birth.  "Birth decisions should not be based on mis-information, fear and someone else's agenda - it should be a personal, instinctive and informed decision that must be respected by the chosen care giver on how and where the mother-to-be wants to birth.  Birthworks, I believe, assists that mother-to-be to make her informed choice.  Women are more than capable of birthing - we just need to affirm that".
