Overview

This book opens up a new field of understanding and healing around caesarean sections. It offers a global perspective alongside profound therapeutic insights for the body and soul of women. How can we restore harmony in the bond between mother and child? More than one in five births worldwide is by caesarean section. Whether it is an emergency or a planned procedure, chosen or not, many mothers are left with a range of physical or emotional symptoms-sometimes a sense of loss, sometimes deep discomfort. What are the physical, emotional, energetic, and relational consequences of a caesarean birth-for both mother and child? How can we improve sensitivity in the skin, release tension in the scar or the body as a whole, and even address changes in skin tone? What wounds-visible or hidden-might this scar carry? And what of the father's experience in all of this? Is it possible to truly complete the birth process-even years later-and heal what may feel unfinished? What leads to a caesarean birth, and how might we avoid one or support a successful VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean)? What is the connection between birth and femininity? And how might healing the birth experience transform a woman's relationship to her femininity? Through his method of Global Scar Harmonisation, Adam-David Kanner offers thoughtful, compassionate answers to these questions and more. Drawing on over twenty years of experience as an osteopath working with women and families, he shares an integrative approach that guides readers towards healing, fulfilment, and reconciliation with their birth experience. Supported by moving testimonials, this holistic technique gently transforms the scar into a path of initiation-so that each woman may reclaim her power and find peace in her experience of motherhood. Adam-David Kanner is a registered osteopath (D.O.), trainer, and lecturer. For over fifteen years, he has developed a unique therapeutic approach to healing obstetric scars from caesarean sections and episiotomies (www.scarharmony.com). The foreword is written by Dr Michel Odent, renowned surgeon and obstetrician. A pioneer of respectful birth, he has long challenged conventional practices around medicalised childbirth.
