“Mindful Pregnancy and Birth offers a soothing antidote to the stress and perfectionism that increasing assail expectant Mamas. But this is more than a guide to pregnancy and birth.

​
Both mystery and miracle meet with physiology and science in the epic journey of childbirth. A mother facilitates this life-giving event with her powerful and sophisticated body. It is truly an act of faith, courage and love, both sacred and unpredictable. It is our mothers’ greatest gift to us, and in turn, their mothers’ greatest gift to them, all the way back through our female lines. As we venture into birth, we touch the spiritual substance of welcoming a new life to earth.”
