Hello, I’m Theo Clarke, author, podcaster and former MP. I'm the former Chair of the UK's Birth Trauma Inquiry and set up the Global Birth Trauma Alliance.
I host a weekly podcast called Breaking the Taboo on women's health.
In my book I discuss my personal experience of birth trauma, and the journey from my daughter's birth to leading the first national inquiry into birth trauma in British history.
I’ve decided to begin something new: a space of my own to reflect on writing, creativity, and living, and how those three things are, for me, deeply tangled up. I am not a celebrity, so I had all the usual fears and imposter syndrome: who was I to write a memoir before forty? Did I have anything important to say?
We believe women around the world deserve to give birth confident they and their babies will survive, be free from physical and mental trauma and go on to lead happy healthy lives.
