Down to Earth Birth Book | Jenny Blyth

The Down to Earth Birth Book by Australian birthworker Jenny Blyth is one of my favourite books for supporting 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.

Beautifully illustrated with photographs, paintings and drawings.
