‘Coming from a very religious Christian community, we are about suspect about alternative or New Age stuff. I heard about The Pink Kit on the internet and bought it. It’s been wonderful. It’s just about my body and how I can prepare for the birth of my baby. There is nothing in the information that challenges my beliefs. It’s practical and useful.’
Helene and Phillip
‘In our religion, we can not accept blood products. Those of us who have used The Pink Kit feel more certain that we can prevent some issues that might arise’.
Fiona and Gerald
‘My deep religious beliefs didn’t prevent me from having terrible births. Discovering The Pink Kit was like discovering the difference between God’s help and how I had to help myself’.
Sue and Neal
‘As a very religious couple, we don’t often talk publicly about what is very private; however, my husband and I have just found The Pink Kit to be wonderful’.
Paulette and Raymond
‘Being an orthodox Jewish woman, our husbands’ job in labor is to pray. In our community, there are many of us who have used The Pink Kit and we call it ‘our homework’. We’re quite religious about doing everything in it, especially the internal work. We have very large families and this has made a huge change in how easily we birth and our good recovery.’

Pink Kit Stories From Diverse Ethnic Backgrounds:
‘My wife and I have recently immigrated to a new country. In our country, not only were fathers not at births, often they didn’t see their children for weeks after because of the ceremonies that had to be performed. The Pink Kit has been wonderful. We’ve so enjoyed working together and look forward to our birth’.
Germain and Hope
‘I’m from Papua and came to Australia. I got pregnant with my 4th baby who stayed in a position my midwife didn’t like. He was lying across my belly. She gave me the video to watch and my husband and I tried some things. I also wrapped something tight around my belly. I had a fine birth’.
Jela and Timothy
‘In my culture, we have no midwives, whoever is at a birth is expected to help whether they are men or women….even strangers. If there is a problem, then we call the monks to recite mantras. My 4th baby was stuck after his head came out. Eventually my husband and neighbor did get him out and he was fine. In the 1980s I was introduced to this body work. As soon as I felt the sit bone spread, I knew that would have helped’.
Tenzen and Goba
‘My husband and I don’t speak good English. We come from Japan. We believe natural birth very important. Pink Kit very good’.
Tokada family
‘My husband comes from a culture where it is natural for fathers to help in labor so he took to The Pink Kit like a duck to water. I felt so secure’.
Ari
‘We’ve moved away from our homeland and now live in a very modern country. There aren’t any older women to help as there are back in our country. The Pink Kit is like that to us…the common sense skills that work when there isn’t a medical system to help’.
Francois and Herme
‘My husband and I come from different ethnic backgrounds and different religions. We often feel torn between ‘do this’ and ‘do that’. The Pink Kit found favor with both sides of the family. I wish my friends back home in India knew about it.’
Sheena and Dodi
‘All my friends in Argentina have had c/s. It’s like no one wants to labor anymore. I find it sad. We’re using The Pink Kit. I’m not going to have a c/s unless something is really wrong with my baby or me’.
