All of my births became birth stories. They are not only the chronicle of my children's welcome to the world, but also of my own strength, power, and transformation as a woman becoming a mother. Stories are both information and soul. They are therapy. And they heal both the writer and the listener as we tap into universal human truths and experience. The healing potential of story in birth is profound and only beginning to be tapped into by mothers - mothers who have struggled, lost, succeeded, triumphed and want to make the most of their experience as a journey of growth and being deeply human, deeply woman. If your journey of birth and motherhood is in need of witness, healing, hearing, or sharing - and you don't know where to start - or if putting pen to paper makes you freeze up but there's a story that is calling out to be told - Birth Your Story by writer and teacher Jaime Fleres is where I suggest you go to birth your inner writer. --AVIVA ROMM, MD, midwife, Author of The Natural Pregnancy Book and Natural Health After Birth Do you know your birth story? And if you are a parent, what do you remember about bringing your own child(ren) into the world? Jaime Fleres's book, Birth Your Story, makes a unique contribution to how we look at birth and why writing our story matters. Birth Your Story is part memoir and part writing guide. I wish I had this book 25 years ago as I was birthing my children. It would have encouraged me to look at other options for how I wanted to bring a baby into the world. Jaime's book explains what we lose as a culture, as a family and as women when we don't pass on these stories. This is an important book that will help you discover the gift of creation both in the womb and on the page. --BETSY BLANKENBAKER, Author of Autobiography of an Orgasm No matter what kind of birth experience you had, writing the story is so important for honoring this huge rite of passage. This book is a meaningful and poignant guide to telling the story of one of, if not THE, most important experience of your life. --KATE NORTHRUP, creator of Origin and bestselling author of Money: A Love Story Birth Your Story reads like a midwife or doula feels: wise, grounded, clear, no bullsh*t, unflappable and totally loving, with a sacred reverence for the whole wild and winding journey of birth. I personally didn't realize what power there is in writing your birth story, until I wrote my own, and I wonder what secret joy, what humility, and what self-pride, would still be locked inside had I not. What a joy to discover Jaime Fleres' book, that not only guides us through the transformational writing process, but into a deep reclamation of our body, power, fragility, wisdom and divinity. Whether a seasoned writer or a blushing novice, no matter: open this book and write on. --LIYANA SILVER, Coach and author of Feminine Genius: The Provocative Path to Waking Up and Turning On the Wisdom of Being a Woman Jaime Fleres's Birth Your Story is the perfect gift for expecting couples and new (and not so new) parents. Jaime's warmth and wisdom encourage and empower readers to begin to write and embrace their birth stories. But this book is so much more than a how-to book; it's a celebration of love and the power of what our bodies and minds are capable of. It's a must-have book for any parent in your life. --KATE HOPPER, author of Use Your Words
