Book Recommendation

HypnoBirthing: The Mongan Method
Marie Mongan

This book introduces a beautiful way to prepare for birth—through breathing, deep relaxation, and understanding how the body works in labor.

When fear decreases and calm increases, the body can do its work more smoothly.

As a HypnoBirthing educator, this method is very close to my heart, and I’ve seen how these tools help couples feel calmer and more confident as they approach birth.

That’s why I often recommend not only reading the book, but also taking a HypnoBirthing course based on Marie Mongan’s work.

Practical, reassuring, and empowering.

Book Recommendation

The Secret Life of the Unborn Child
Dr. Thomas Verny

This book completely expands the way we understand pregnancy.

For many years, babies in the womb were seen as unaware, disconnected from the outside world.

Dr. Verny explores the research and clinical observations showing that unborn babies are already sensitive and responsive human beings.

They react to sound.
They respond to their mother’s emotional state.
They are influenced by stress and by calm.

Pregnancy is not only about physical growth.
It is the beginning of relationship.

This book invites us to approach the prenatal period with more awareness, more gentleness, and more respect.

Insightful, compassionate, and truly perspective-shifting.

✨ Friday Book Recommendation ✨

📖 Childbirth Without Fear by Grantly Dick-Read

Almost 100 years ago, Dr. Dick-Read introduced a powerful concept that still shapes birth education today:

Fear creates tension.
Tension creates pain.

When a woman feels afraid, her body tightens.
When the body tightens, labor becomes more difficult.
And so the cycle continues.

This book opened the door to understanding birth as more than a physical event — it is deeply connected to the mind, emotions, and the stories we carry about birth.

For parents.
For birth professionals.
For anyone who wants to understand birth with greater awareness.

A true classic that continues to influence how we teach and support birth today.

📚 See you next Friday.

✨ Friday Book Recommendation ✨

I’m starting something new.
Every Friday, I’ll be sharing a book I truly love — books that have shaped me over the years as a doula, educator, and birth professional.

These are the books I return to again and again.
The ones that changed the way I understand birth, trust the body, and support families with more confidence and compassion.

And the truth is… they’re for everyone.

For parents.
For birth professionals.
For anyone who supports families during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.

Because birth education isn’t just professional — it’s human.

So here’s the first one ❤️

A book I deeply recommend whether you’re preparing for a baby or walking alongside others on their journey.

📚 A new recommendation every Friday. Save this post and follow along.

The year was 2016 when Vanina Cavallini and I created a project very close to my heart: Actions for a Change. Our dream was simple yet powerful — to educate, to inspire, and to take one real step toward changing the way babies are born.

We followed the profound words of Dr. Michel Odent, who reminded us that if we want to change the world, we must first change the way babies are born.

With that vision, we organized a two-day conference in Miami, Florida: Childbirth – Science vs. Tradition, led by Dr. Odent himself. It was unforgettable — two days of learning, sharing, and planting seeds of change in the hearts of birth workers.

I was blessed with the privilege of spending three full days alongside Dr. Odent. What touched me the most was not only his brilliance and courage, but also his humility, humor, and the way he looked at each of us — whether OB-GYN, midwife, or doula — with the same eyes, the same respect, the same human connection.

Today, I carry deep gratitude for those days and for the message he left us with. My hope is that his words and his legacy will continue to ripple outward, bringing true change to the way babies enter this world. 🌍✨
