Gentle Birth Method

Author: Gowri Motha

Item Code: PB3214

Category: Pregnancy and childbirth



$35.00

Dr Gowri Motha shows women how her revolutionary method helps women carry the baby to full term, have less intervention in the birth; feel less pain in labour, and feel happy and in control. The Gentle Birth Method is a concise pregnancy programme combining diverse therapies such as ‘creative healing’ massage, a simple diet, self-hypnosis, reflexology and affirmation techniques. It was created by Dr Gowri Motha as an alternative to conventional obstetric practice, when she became alarmed at the increasing number of women needing intervention during their births. It teaches expectant mothers how to train their bodies and minds in order to reduce or prevent complications during pregnancy and labour.

This book outlines the Method, with a month-by-month programme explaining how to rebalance the body and tailor it to the optimum condition for the birthing process. It includes guides to treating problems such as back pain, nausea, heartburn, fluid retention and stretch marks.
