Labor Like a Goddess

More about the book

Written by two birth doulas and intuitive healers, this book tells the metaphorical story of a fictional goddess who must walk through 7 Gates of Transformation in order to become a mother. At the final gate, she must surrender to the ultimate sacrifice--spiritual death--so she can be reborn into motherhood. Each gate perfectly illustrates the 7 emotional, psychological and often subconscious sacrifices that every laboring woman experiences, whether willingly or not. This book is a guide to help pregnant women understand birth as a divine journey and master how to walk through each gate with empowered sacrifice, purpose and zeal through tools, rituals and integrative practices.
