Evidence Based Birth®
Hello! My name is Rebecca Dekker, and I am a nurse with my PhD and the founder of Evidence Based Birth®.
For decades, the vast majority of birth research evidence has been locked away in medical journals. The team at EBB believes in putting the evidence back in the hands of the people who need it the most-- you and your families!
At Evidence Based Birth® we have many resources for expecting parents and birth professionals, including:
- The Evidence Based Birth® Podcast (on iTunes, Spotify, and other platforms!)
- Free peer-reviewed Signature Articles (on our website)
- The comprehensive EBB Childbirth Class (totally online!)
- A free email newsletter with a crash course on evidence-based care
- Free printable handouts you can take to your prenatal appointments
To get access to all our free information, just visit www.evidencebasedbirth.com
