Joy in Birthing

“Painless Childbirth has the power to shatter misconceptions about pregnancy, labor and birth, and replace them with new, more accurate and empowering knowledge. Our all too prevalent cultural belief that childbirth is a torturous endeavor that must be endured in order to get the prize at the end must be discarded. Women can develop their own deep knowing that it is possible, indeed desirable, to birth in a way where pain is not only manageable—one contraction at a time—but serves as a source of strength and spiritual transformation. Painless Childbirth is a how-to manual that guides women through this sacred process. The book delivers in a way that readers can’t help but feel energized and excited to apply its timeless wisdom right now in the present moment.

The author in her doula practice incorporates pre- and perinatal psychology principles with matter-of-fact assertiveness, and basic p&p premises are authoritatively conveyed throughout the book. This might be the most interesting book yet on a doula’s life, and we have to thank Giuditta for having shared with us such deep stories of her own voyage into motherhood and her doula practice.”
