Reclaiming the Spirituality of Birth

This book is a must for anyone who has experienced a traumatic birth experience, or has a fear of birthing. I have had three hospital births that were complete medical managed experiences, very traumatic. I am planning a homebirth with my fourth child (due any day), and found this book to be a godsend for helping me heal that part of me that was so traumatized with my previous births. I cannot wait for the experience at home with my family and a Midwife!

Healing Birth

This book values pregnancy and birth as processes which have life-long impact on woman's self esteem, her health, her ability to nurtutre, and her personal growth. For women who had none satisfactory birth expereinces and carry deep "soul-wounds" from painful birth experiences, this book is a must read.
