Nickita Starck
CREATOR
Nickita Starck is the mother of two daughters, an author, birth activist, teacher, traditional birth attendant and singer / songwriter.
​​
Nickita started her birth journey in 2008 when she gave birth to her first daughter. After a very traumatic birth she started asking questions. Her grandmother explained to her that was she had experienced was ‘common’ NOT ‘normal’. This gave Nickita a thirst for birth knowledge and so her journey began.
​​
Since then, she has learned her skills through a rather an unconventional methods. Although she trained to be a doula, she has also gained knowledge from granny midwives and ancient traditional practice.
​​
Nickita has been bestowed with a remarkable honour of carrying forward the legacy of Beverley Beech, the renowned author of the book ‘Am I Allowed?’, which highlights the crucial topic of childbirth rights. Beverley has been a mentor to Nickita and has imparted all her knowledge and experience in the domain to her.
​
Moving forward, Nickita will bear the responsibility of overseeing any further editions of the book and its sales. This is a testament to Nickita’s profound understanding of the subject matter and her relentless efforts towards implementing Beverley’s vision. The book ‘Am I Allowed’ has transformed the lives of many, and Nickita’s stewardship will ensure that its profound message reaches even more individuals in need. ​
