The Birth Sling - Wattle Green

The Birth Sling by Dr Jess Michaels® is the birth tool that has helped make unmedicated and intervention-free births possible for thousands of women worldwide.

Created by Osteopath and birth educator Dr Jess Michaels, this groundbreaking design offers a modern evolution of an ancient practice. It provides the stability, comfort, and freedom of movement needed for upright and active labor, supporting natural pain relief and reducing the likelihood of unnecessary interventions such as inductions, epidurals, and caesareans.

Whether you are planning a home birth, hospital birth, free birth or birth center experience, The Birth Sling offers mothers the confidence and support to follow their instincts and lean into their body’s innate ability to birth.

What’s Included:

• Main Body Sling – The heart of The Birth Sling. Specially designed to support your full body weight, it allows you to squat, sway, lean, and find the positions that open your pelvis and encourage progress naturally.

• Arm Slings (2x) – Extra support for hanging, pulling, or shifting your weight. These help create comfort, stability, and endurance during contractions.

• Door Anchor – Easy installation over almost any door, making it accessible for hospital or home use.

• Beam or Branch Anchor – A beautiful option for outdoor or natural settings, suspending the sling from a sturdy beam or tree branch.

• Carry Bag – Lightweight and portable, so you can take your Birth Sling anywhere your birth journey leads you.
