Free Birth Society Linked to Australian Birth Keeper | Melbourne News
Description
A shocking revelation links Australian birth keeper Emily Lal to the controversial US-based Free Birth Society, now tied to the tragic death of Melbourne influencer Stacey Warnecke. Lal, an unlicensed birth attendant and close associate of the group’s leader Emilee Saldaya, attended Warnecke’s freebirth — which ended in fatal postpartum bleeding. Saldaya had previously denied any knowledge of freebirth deaths. A 2025 investigation uncovered 48 cases of harm linked to the society, and Lal’s full involvement is now coming to light as the inquest continues. This case underscores the dangerous risks of unregulated birth practices and the urgent need for accountability.
