A voice for women
I have nearly two decades experience of speaking and writing about women’s health. I’ve authored five bestselling books, founded a global movement for positive birth, been a keynote speaker around the world, and guested on major TV, radio stations, and podcasts. I speak with passion, confidence and humour and make it my mission to always ask, “What about women?”.
I can bring this dynamic voice to your organisation or event.
Ways to work with me
Keynote Speaking
I have spoken at events and organisations across the UK and in Sydney, Prague, Amsterdam and Ireland, including Google, The Baby Show, The House of Lords, The Royal College of Physicians, The Royal College of Obstetricians and FiLiA - Europe’s largest feminist conference.
I bring genuine expertise and credibility, alongside an ability to start conversations about the female experience: self-image, birth, midlife, and what it actually means to work and live in a female body - in a world not built for one.
Creative Workshops
I can create experiences for you and your organisation that help participants think, share, understand, grow and have a flipping brilliant time in the process.
In my former career as a dramatherapist, I’ve run workshops with ex-convicts who began the session towering over me and telling me they didn’t want to be there, and ended it stood on a chair, dressed as a character from a Greek myth and belting out My Way by Frank Sinatra.
If you ask for a workshop, I don’t do ‘powerpoint presentation to bored people in chairs’.
I do creative, dynamic, fun, thought-provoking and unique.
Keynote Examples
The Courage to Speak. How the female voice is perceived and sometimes sidelined, and what we can do about this.
Introducing the Matriflux. My concept of the ever changing nature of being female and how this knowledge = power.
Peri is not a Sauce. The internal landscape of menopause; fostering a better understanding of the psychological experience.
Give Birth like a Feminist. Why birth is the feminist issue we all need to be talking about.
A Life Less Apologetic. As women, how often are we truly unapologetically ourselves? Read this keynote here, I gave it in Prague in 2025.
Creative Workshop Examples
Cycles, Everywhere! Exploring life in a cyclical female body - what I call the matriflux - in a linear workplace, how this feels and how better understanding leads to better results.
Creativity Boost. Play, collaborate and build ideas together. Learn how to say, “Yes, and..” and that all ideas are good ideas.
Empowered Positive Birth. Space for pregnant employees to feel supported and ready for birth and parenthood, using my trademark ‘Birth Plan’ cards.
Hotties. A menopause workshop that explores the big changes of menopause in a fun way that also makes space for feelings.
I am an ideas person.
