Birth Rebel

an associated group of BGi.uk

Birth Rebel is a UK-wide virtual marketplace connecting expectant and new parents with vetted, independent maternity care caregivers: doulas, IBCLCs (lactation consultants), hypnobirthing teachers and sleep consultants. Founded by Leah, a doula and hypnobirthing teacher, Birth Rebel exists to rebuild trust in maternal care and end the postcode lottery that decides who gets support and who doesn’t.

Every session happens virtually, so parents get the right caregiver wherever they live, and caregivers aren’t limited to clients within driving distance.

Benefits for caregivers

Birth Rebel gives independent caregivers a better way to work.

  • Reach beyond your postcode. Virtual sessions mean your expertise isn’t capped by how far a client can travel.
  • A steady stream of matched clients. Birth Rebel’s matching connects you with parents who are already looking for exactly what you offer, so you spend less time marketing and more time caring.
  • Work on your terms. Set your own availability and fees, and build your practice around your life.
  • A vetted, trusted platform. Every caregiver is verified before joining, so parents arrive ready to trust you.
  • Simple admin, all in one place. Booking, messaging, contracting, and payments happen on the platform, so you’re not chasing invoices or juggling spreadsheets.
  • A community, not just a client list. Join a network of doulas, lactation consultants, hypnobirthing teachers and sleep experts all working to change maternity care for the better.

If you’re a qualified doula, IBCLC, hypnobirthing teacher or sleep consultant, Birth Rebel gives you the platform to reach more families and get paid fairly for the work you already do.
