A Guide to Respectful Birth Practices

Richly illustrated by a photographer specializing in motherhood, this handbook focuses on the practices that help women to give birth consciously.

Giving birth is a sacred act, a power, a gift. It’s also a natural process that should be treated as such. Yet, there is a wide gap between our modern cultural approach and women’s basic needs.

This well-documented book helps women to rediscover their native ability to give birth, and parents-to-be to make their own choices. It emphasizes respect, empathy, and challenges the most commonly held ideas, such as the systematic occurence of pain during the birth process or the need for medical help in a hospital.

With its photographs from the talented Laura Boil, its abundant scientific sources, testimonies from professionals and stories from women, this book will support parents and show them the possible choices for their pregnancy and labor.
