The Down to Earth Birth Book is a practical guide to natural birth in any setting, promoting self-nurturing, responsibility and awareness to help create a conscious birth and parenting experience. This is a ‘grass roots’ book that celebrates the innate intelligence of mind, body and spirit in relation to birth.
It is printed on recycled paper with soy-based ink, and beautifully presented in an easy-to-read, user-friendly A4 format. Diagrams, illustrations, and over 90 colour and black and white photos accompany the text.
This is a valuable resource for parents-to-be, their families, support people, and all other kinds of birthworkers. ‘The Down to Earth Birth Book’ is a book to return to time and again for information on birth preparation; as an in-the-moment birth guide; and as a reference for after the birth.
