My name is Amy Dignam. I am a fully qualified hypnobirthing practitioner, a birth activist, an artist and a mother of 3. I am originally from Italy but have been living and working in London for the past 23 years, so, although I still hold tight to my Italian accent, I am practically a Londoner. I Co-Chair the Maternity Voices Partnership at Chelsea & Westminster and West Middlesex hospitals, I am one of the Founding Mothers of Maternal Journal and Co-Founder of the Play the Race Card project. I am very passionate about women’s and birthing people’s health and rights especially during the perinatal time. I believe everybody should be given all possible information about choice and consent as well as being introduced to relaxation techniques centred on releasing fear, building confidence that will ultimately help to achieve a positive birth experience.
