Dr. Buckley gives you the support you need as a Birth Professional
Thank you for your important work with childbearing families!
From my perspective, the wonderful work that you are doing to give babies and families the best possible start in life is the most valuable work on the planet today.
Pregnancy and birth are crucial determinants of life-long health, happiness, and wholeness.
The care that you give will influence all of those outcomes and you want to make sure that you do the best for mothers. babies, fathers, and families that you can.
You want to give women and families the best possible information and the best possible start.
Are You Looking for Authoritative, Up-To-Date Information?
It’s not so easy to keep up with all the information on childbirth, and especially to find authoritative sources and resources for yourself and the women and families that you educate and care for.
There is so much information available these days, and the area of childbirth seems to be especially full.
Do you have trouble reading everything that comes to you? Are you looking for other ways to stay educated? You don't want to lose the joy of supporting families through this major transition, but you don't want to spend all your time and energy keeping up with the information either!

How Can I Help You?
How can I provide all of this? Firstly,...
I am trained as a family physician (GP)
I have completed my training to practice GP-obstetrics, caring for healthy mothers and babies
I have also attended births at home, and I am also a mother of four!
My first baby was born in 1990 and my last in 2000, all such wonderful experiences at home that I subsequently changed career, writing two editions of my book “Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering“ in 2005 and 2009.
I have also written numerous articles for international publications including:
Mothering magazine (US)
Natural Parenting (Australia)
MIDIRS Midwifery Digest (UK)
Midwifery Today (US)
Pathways to Family Wellness (US)
The Mother (UK)
Juno (UK)
and many other magazines
I also lecture to parents and professionals in Australia, US, UK and around the world on gentle, natural childbirth and how to maximise its benefits.
I have a special interest in the hormones of labour and birth and my detailed scientific report Hormonal Physiology of Childbearing was published by Childbirth Connection (US) in January 2015.
want every mother, baby, father and family to have the best possible start.
- As both a medical doctor and a mother, I have looked closely at the medical research in important areas such as:
- What is a healthy diet for pregnancy?
- Who is the best carer in pregnancy, labour and birth?
- What is the best place to give birth?
- What about screening and treatment for group B strep?
- Is ultrasound safe, and what about keepsake ultrasounds?
- What are the benefits and risks of labor drugs and interventions?
- How to get the best start with breastfeeding
In my Gentle Natural Birth Professionals program, you can draw upon all of my knowledge and resources, and get accurate, up to date information.
In addition, I’ve experienced the challenges and joys of gentle, natural birth and mothering myself, and I know from my own experience just how challenging birth and mothering can be- and also how rewarding. I also know that a great start at birth can give a head-start in mothering too!
I also know that sometimes interventions are needed for the wellbeing of mothers and babies, and that we can help mothers, partners and families to be involved and empowered in any situation.
I am passionate about informed choices for mothers, babies, fathers and families.With education and awareness, we can also enhance hormonal physiology for all mothers and babies, promoting safety and pleasure, even when interventions are needed.
