Subject: Gentle Birth,
Gentle Mothering now!
Dear friends
I am excited to tell you that my
book, Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: The
wisdom and science of gentle choices in pregnancy, birth, and parenting
is now in my webshop and available for purchase at http://www.sarahjbuckley.com/shop/
I am thrilled with the production
of Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering. The lush cover (artwork by Durga Bernhard)
reflects the beauty and gentleness of birth and mothering, and the cover
colours are vibrant with vegetable-based inks. Inside, the layout and design
are pleasing, and the 100% recycled paper gives the book a lovely feel
I am also getting wonderful
feedback about the content, and it is so good to have all my best articles in
one place. All of those mothers, grandmothers, professional, parents who have
emailed me with questions about Lotus birth, homebirth, cord clamping after
cesarean, cord blood banking, ecstatic birth, co-sleeping, breastfeeding (and
much more) can now find the answers! There are also articles about the safety
of ultrasound and epidurals (a longer version of the article in the current Mothering),
breech birth, caesareans, prenatal testing for Down syndrome, yoga and
motherhood, raising babies without nappies/diapers and lots of my own
stories.
You can read Ina May
Gaskin’s words of wisdom in the foreword – I was privileged to
chair a panel at the recent APPPAH conference in San Diego on care during labour, which
included Ina May (upcoming blog!). Ina’s foreword is a great rave about
the spread of birth fright vs the birth-giving capacities of our bodies.
You can also read what my reviewers
have to say about Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering as you scroll down at

My latest reviewer is Deepak
Chopra, who says:
Sarah
Buckley creatively integrates mind/body wisdom with the latest scientific
research to provide women with the essential tools they need to make conscious
choices throughout their pregnancy and birth.
To celebrate my opening –
and thanks to the generosity of the lovely Carla Hartley of Ancient Art
Midwifery – I have some small gifts for my first 50 buyers among you.
While over in the US
last month, Carla gave me some samples of the badges, wristbands, transfers and
magnets that she produces to make birth a talking point in public, as part of
her Trust Birth campaign (www.trustbirth.com).
Some of the slogans are listed at the bottom and there are also groovy purple
Trust Birth wrist bands.
You will need to mention this
offer under special instructions at the checkout, and you can also give your
preferences.
Please take a wander around at my
shop. You can pay by credit card via paypal or by fax or mail order. I also
have copies of the book Lotus birth and a favourite New Zealand book, the Paper Midwife.
Don’t forget to mention the
Trust Birth bonuses when you check out.
Please support my work by passing
this email on to interested friends and contacts, thanks so much! (Can someone
let the ozmidwifery elist know also?)
Blessings to you all
Sarah
