Birth...Journey to the wild depths of motherhood

Written from the embodied experience of home birth mother and GP obstetrician, offering pregnant women and birth attendants insights into the hospital system, and the beauty that can be found in natural birthing.

Held in the story of Persephone, we start where all women now begin their birth journey - with Zeus, in the structure of patriarchy. Then we move beyond, through the supportive hold of mother Demeter, then further into ourselves until we find the unique wonder of woman, through courage, strength and surrender, to the breath and calm and ecstasy she can hold.
