PRE-ORDER & SECURE YOUR SEAT

  • "A must-read by a person on the frontlines."

    — Amy Schumer

  • "Labor and Deliverance is a brave and necessary book for every woman who has ever felt dismissed, unseen, or disconnected from her own body. Dr. Tracy Shevell brings both medical wisdom and deep compassion to a conversation that is long overdue. This book is a powerful invitation for women to reclaim their voices, trust their bodies, and remember that true healing must include the physical, emotional, and spiritual"

    — Gabrielle Bernstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Universe Has Your Back

  • "Labor and Deliverance is a powerful and deeply needed exploration of women’s health, trauma, and healing. Dr. Tracy Shevell bravely exposes the ways women are dismissed inside modern medicine while offering a more compassionate, whole-person vision of care that honors the body, the emotional experience, and the wisdom women carry within themselves. This book is the companion you deserve in your healing journey."

    — Dr. Nicole LePera, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Do the Work,
    How to Be the Love You Seek, and Reparenting the Inner Child

  • "Dr. Shevell brings her tireless advocacy and decades of experience to women who have been waiting far too long to feel understood. Rather than asking women to choose between science and their lived experience, she reminds us that lasting healing begins when we learn to trust both. I am thrilled that her essential guidance is now available to all of us."

    — Nicole Sachs, LCSW, host of The Cure for Chronic Pain Podcast and author of Mind Your Body

  • "Dr. Tracy Shevell has written the book women have been waiting for—a fierce, unflinching examination of a medical system that too often fails us at our most vulnerable moments. Labor and Deliverance is part medical memoir, part rallying cry, and entirely essential reading. Through her own harrowing journey and the stories of her patients, Dr. Shevell exposes how women are dismissed, gaslit, and told our pain is 'just anxiety' while demanding we accept nothing less than the care we deserve. This is a roadmap for reclaiming our power in doctors' offices, delivery rooms, and beyond. Every woman—and every person who loves a woman—needs to read this book."

    — Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action and bestselling author of
    Fired Up and Fight Like a Mother

  • "In this wise and deeply compassionate book, obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Tracy Shevell shares stories from her life and from the exam room that remind us that being a patient—and being a doctor—requires honesty, courage, and partnership. She truly has written a generous guide to navigating our own healthcare with clarity, dignity, and heart."

    — Dr. Beth Ricanati, award-winning author of Braided

  • "With remarkable courage, tenderness, and breathtaking honesty, Dr. Tracy Shevell challenges the ways women have been conditioned to disconnect from themselves inside modern medicine. Labor and Deliverance is at once illuminating and deeply humane. This book is both a reckoning and a gift."

    — Jessica Zucker, PhD, MPH, psychologist and award-winning author of
    Normalize It and I Had a Miscarriage

  • "In Labor and Deliverance, Dr. Tracy Shevell invites us to rethink not only how we care for women, but how we listen to them. Blending hard-won personal insight with medical expertise, she reminds us that healing begins when patients feel seen, heard, and believed."

    — Dr. Lucy McBride, author of Beyond the Prescription

  • "Labor and Deliverance reminds us that every maternal health statistic begins with a woman's story. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and deep compassion, Tracy Shevell illuminates both the extraordinary promise and the persistent shortcomings of maternity care. At a time when listening to women has never been more important, this book is a powerful reminder that safe, respectful, equitable care should be the standard - not the exception - for every mother.”

    — Christy Turlington Burns, Founder & President, Every Mother Counts

  • "Women deserve to feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout each transition in their lives, from pregnancy through menopause. In Labor and Deliverance, Tracy Shevell draws on decades of clinical experience to show where our healthcare for women falls short, and how we can do better. Honest, compassionate, and raw, this is a book about restoring trust, strengthening women's voices, and reminding us what medicine should be at its best."

    — Dr. Sharon Malone, NYT Bestselling Author, Grown Woman Talk and Chief Medical Advisor, Alloy Health

  • "This book is an extraordinary reckoning with what medicine asks of us, what it takes from us, and what it too often fails to give our patients. Tracy has given voice to experiences that physicians carry quietly and women endure silently—and that is a remarkable gift. This book will touch every woman navigating her own health journey, and remind every physician why we chose this profession in the first place."

    — Dawn Mandeville, MD, FACOG, MSCP

WRITING

More than Medicine
with Dr. Tracy

I'm here to help women like you get the medical care you deserve. I want you to understand the system, understand your strengths, and talk about healing medically, emotionally, and spiritually. Medicine is so much more than just physical.

On Substack, I write about the things women are too often told don't matter, the symptoms that get minimized, the emotional weight that goes unnamed, and the questions no one thinks to ask. It's where my voice lives most freely, and where you'll find the clearest sense of what this work is really about.
