Health & Wellness

Milli Hill is an author and journalist, and founder of the Positive Birth Movement. Her first book, The Positive Birth Book, was published in March 2017 to wide acclaim, immediately becoming an Amazon bestseller and remaining one of the most popular books for pregnant women ever since. In August 2020 her second book, Give Birth Like a Feminist, was published by Harper Collins and has since been widely featured in the UK media including the BBC. The book seeks to spark debate about childbirth as an overlooked feminist issue, and urges women to reclaim their bodily autonomy in birth in line with the #metoo movement. Her third book, My Period, is a must-have puberty guide for pre-teen girls, with information about everything from cycle awareness and charting, to the correct names for body parts, to confidence and self-care. Milli speaks regularly at international events and conferences and has appeared on BBC Radio 2, BBC 5 Live, talkradio, Times Radio and many more. She writes regularly for the Telegraph, Guardian, Independent, ipaper, Mail, Grazia and more about issues connected to motherhood, birth, and women's rights and autonomy. Prior to becoming a writer, Milli worked as a creative psychotherapist with both children and adults, specialising in supporting children who had experienced trauma and abuse. Milli lives in rural Somerset with her partner and three children.
