Reviews

Given that the world of Chinese medicine can seem a bit mystical and be quite mystifying, and the world of western medicine can be incomplete in its ability to address medical issues, Claudia Citkovitz's text is a complete breath of fresh air. Right away, before she even gets going on the actual book, she is giving useful, practical information. In the introduction she writes I have compiled the list below of low-hanging fruit. These are acupressure and other EAM techniques that can easily be applied in the moment, or taught to birth team members, without having to read the whole book. This is followed by a list of super easy to learn and fantastically effective techniques to improve labor. Of course, this just makes one want to read the book! -- Sharon Weizenbaum Lic. Ac., Dipl CH


Claudia Citkovitz combines extensive experience in obstetric medicine with a deep knowledge of East Asian Medicine and the result is a fascinating and practical book, which offers unique insight into the physiology and psychology of labor and delivery and explains how to support all stages of the birth journey, naturally and effectively. A must read for birth professionals of all disciplines. -- Jill Blakeway DACM, L.Ac.
