A Timeless Introduction to Natural Childbirth after Cesarean, March 17, 2003
This review is from: Artemis Speaks: Vbac Stories and Natural Childbirth Information (Paperback)
Nan Koehler, who is a master herbalist, life skills teacher, and midwife, specializes in helping mothers give natural birth. A timeless introduction to natural childbirth after cesarean section and other medical traumas. V/BAC is a term coined by Nancy Wainer Cohen which means, Vaginal Birth After Cesarean. From my point of view, mothers who have been sectioned surgically have a special calling to heal the Earth by healing birth. The voices of those traumatized by the normative obstetric abuse of our time, cesarean surgery, need to be heard. This book transforms childbirth through word medicine (mindful anecdotal evidence). Artemis Speaks covers much, much more beyond pregnancy and birth ~ it's for anyone devoted to healthy, loving transitions, and keeping families whole. The collected notes from a generation of home-based practice from a granny midwife/herbalist with contributions by many others.
