My new book "Visualizing Birth" is officially published!

It’s a short book with beautiful images that has roots in my PhD research on #visualization and art in Chinese religious traditions, in my own experience using visualization during birth, and in years of reading about visualization across fields such as neuroscience, philosophy, and sports psychology. It's also a celebration of 15 years writing my blog of the same name, which I started in 2010 during my second pregnancy when these ideas first took hold of me.

If you're interested in the mind-body connection, birth, or the surprising science of mental imagery, the book is a great read. If you know someone who is pregnant, or works in the birth community (midwives, nurses, doulas, prenatal yoga instructors, acupuncturists, etc.), this is a lovely gift. Available in softcover, hardcover, and PDF. #birth #childbirth #pregnancy #midwife #doula #birthart https://www.blurb.com/b/12773676-visualizing-birth
