A must read for everyone who has ever been born!

I have had not only had the privilege of reading this beautiful book, but I have also had the great honor of being the daughter of this amazing woman. Growing up I heard magical stories about my painless childbirth and the ways in which it has changed my mother's life. As the child of a painless birth, I have always taken great pride and comfort in the sacred way in which I entered this world. Guiditta's message is much needed. Other books do not cover the spiritual aspect of birthing as Ms. Tornetta does. She does an incredible job of connecting the nine months of labor with the nine basic human rights and the nine spiritual chakras. Her message of birthing is a holistic approach that is much needed and desired by an active and ever-expanding community. "Painless Childbirth" is a return to the natural rights of human beings to and a reclaiming of the creation process. Tornetta's wealth of knowledge speaks directly to that internal curiosity ripe with the desire to experience the sacred art of childbirth from a place free of modern day, patriarchal fears about the horrors of pregnancy and birth. "Painless Childbirth" is the book that women seeking to redefine their place as divine creators are looking for.

IF YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD STRONG PARENT YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK

I am serious. If you want to be a good parent, and a strong and healthy person then this book can help you. It brought me to tears over and over but in the most beautiful way. The stories are real and the teachings are priceless. Giuditta is an incredible mother like figure. If you ever had problems with your parents or your mother Giuditta will serve as a loving guide to see you through it. I've never read a book before that I thought could spark a conscious revolution. This one will. Good Journey, Azzurro "joyo" Mallin

Interesting Perspectives

This is a great book that offers an interesting mindset on childbirth. Contrasting against society's generally conceived view of childbirth, Giuditta offers powerful insights that one must read in order to fully comprehend the concept of a painless childbirth. Her perspectives and tips throughout the book have convinced me that the childbirth process from start to finish is a joyous celebratory time in the lives of those affected. This is an excellent read for those who are ready to or are thinking about starting a family.

Wish I had read this sooner

This fantastic book showed me what an amazing gift motherhood is. Mama has to be strong and healthy to help baby grow strong and healthy. I found, while carrying Sara, that there were tons of things that other books never told me about - until I landed on this one. This book is a Process - I had to read each page twice over to allow the deep introspective messages to sink-in. Filled with wisdom on the different levels at which true healing is needed, it focusses our attention to them allowing us the freedom to heal those areas in our own unique ways without thrusting the author's opinion on how it needs to be done. It guides Mama through 9 very important aspects that define a person. The book also contains several true-life anecdotes on other pregnant women which helps us empathize and find a common ground and not feel like we are going this alone. Our bodies were created to accomodate an intense experience as delivering a baby - why then should it be deemed painful when the body has been designed to accomodate it unless of course, fear has an influence on our psyche that delivery has to naturally be painful. This book helped me in delivering my baby angel without fear of pain and in total freedom which has made all the difference. I have come a long way as a mom from having read this book. This is a must-read for all pregnant moms. My only wish is that I had laid my hands on it sooner.

Great Mom-To-Be Personal Growth

Would a mom-to-be create a more wondrous human being if she herself was living to her fullest potential, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually?? It couldn't hurt, right?? According to Painless Childbirth, if there were ever a time when a woman should concentrate on getting her act together, maternity is that time. After all, she is in the miraculous process of creating another human being--and totally responsible for that child. Ms. Tornetta, a veteran birth and post-partum doula, says responsibility for your child begins with knowing the 9 Rights of Pregnant Women, which coincide with each month of maternity. Through understanding these rights and working with them, the pregnant woman is empowered and guided to look within herself to see where she needs to grow, just as her child is developing alongside her. Ms. Tornetta has written the first self-help book for mothers-to-be. It makes good sense to think seriously about Tornetta's deep insights into maternity. A painless childbirth is one where the mom has been able to shed her fears, heal her past and take charge of her pregnancy and birthing experience.. This wise book shows women how to accomplish just that.
