Reclaiming Childbirth as a Rite of Passage: Weaving Ancient Wisdom With Modern Knowledge - E-book - ePub

It's time for a childbirth revolution. The modern approach to maternity care fails women, families and care providers with outdated practices that centre the needs of institutions rather than individuals. In this book, Rachel Reed weaves history, science and research with the experiences of women and care providers to create a holistic, evidence-based framework for understanding birth. Reclaiming childbirth as a rite of passage requires us to recognise that mothers own the power and expertise when it comes to birthing their babies.
Whether you are a parent, care provider or educator, this book will transform how you think and feel about childbirth.
