Henci Goer is an American author who writes about pregnancy and childbirth from an evidence-based perspective. She is the author of The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth. Her previous book, Obstetric Myths Versus Research Realities is a resource for childbirth professionals. Goer has written consumer education pamphlets and articles for magazines[1] such as Reader's Digest and the Journal of Perinatal and Neonatal Nursing.[citation needed] Previously appearing on ParentsPlace.com as the “Birth Guru,” she is currently a resident expert for the Lamaze Institute for Normal Birth Forum.[citation needed] Now concentrating on writing and speaking, Goer was a doula (labor support professional) for over 20 years and a Lamaze, (private interest) educator for ten.[2]
