Nancy Wainer
Nancy had a traumatic birth with her first child and an upsetting birth with her second, and could not find support or help for the feelings of disappointment, loss, betrayal, sadness, failure, confusion and anger that she was experiencing - and which she now knows are valid, normal, even healthy reactions to a birth that has gone awry. Everyone around her told her she had no reason to be upset- she had healthy babies and "nothing else should matter." Although it is true that a healthy baby is paramount, other things DO matter. How a woman feels physically and emotionally after her baby is born affects everything - her relationship with her partner, her baby and others; her energy level; her sex life, as examples.

She educated herself by attending workshops, reading, interviewing therapists and sorting out the kinds of things that she knew would be of value to the woman who sought her out. She has received thousands of letters, phone calls, and emails from women all over the world who have wanted help recovering emotionally from their miserable birth experiences - and has done her best to help each and every one of these women in a variety of different ways.
Nancy graduated with honors from her midwifery programs and trained in a variety of settings including birth centers and midwifery schools in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Jamaica.

"Silent Knife" won an award for The Best Book in the Field of Health and Medicine by the American Library Association the year it was written.
