This audiobook embraces birth as a rite of passage in which you open to the unbidden, embody your own wisdom, and gain freedom from limiting beliefs.

Parents giving birth today do so within a society highly influenced by underlying ideals—including a need for control and certainty, vilification of pain, and reverence for intellectual knowledge and technology, among others.

Childbirth is more than just having a baby. Transformed by Birth invites you to discover that childbirth is an experience that alters your knowing of who you are and lasts long after pregnancy and birth are over.
