Book Overview
Pioneering birth educator and author Janet Balaskas founded the Active Birth Movement in the 1980s.
Her ideas - based on the core principle that women should take ownership of their bodies during birth and be free to assume upright positions in labour - have transformed birth for women and their birth companions across the world.
In this inspiring memoir, illustrated with beautiful birth images taken by photographer Anthea Sieveking over two decades, Janet explains the essential philosophy of her approach and how the Active Birth Movement has grown and helped generations of mothers to prepare for birth, by honouring the importance of the beginning of life and empowering them to confidently trust and follow their instincts.
