Media
To request an interview with Veronika Robinson (editor of The Mother magazine, and parenting author), please contact the office + 44 (0) 1768 897 121 or email: editor@themothermagazine.co.uk
As this is an important and far-reaching field, Veronika is only interested in serious and responsible journalism.
She has had wide media exposure, and in most cases the time spent was wasted, and because of that sensationalist tabloid approach, more harm than good was done to the work to which she is dedicated.
The Mother magazine team does not have the time or resources to do research work for documentary producers or journalists.

Veronika Robinson has appeared, live, as a guest on Good Morning with Mary Lambie (Television New Zealand) as an expert of waterbirths and as founder of the National Waterbirth Trust (NZ) as well as showing footage of her own waterbirth at home.
