“Want to Discover How You Can Enjoy and Even Savour Being Pregnant”?
Mother, do you long to be honoured, celebrated and upheld in your transformation from Maiden to Mother?
Father, do you want to ravish your pregnant partner with your masculine love and support? Do you desire to know the secret longings of the pregnant woman?
Friends, is there a special pregnant woman in your life that you want to bless with greater support, conscious care and nurturing?
Are you a Doula who would like to add nurturing practices to the care that you offer to new families?
The inspiration for this book comes out of my desire to see pregnant woman and mothers nurtured during the childbearing years. What I have noticed in my own life, and in the life of many mothers, is that while we selflessly give and nurture our families day and night, we are often left feeling alienated, exhausted, unsupported and un-nurtured.
Given that the present day culture minimizes the significance of pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood, is it any wonder that we feel this way?
Having navigated pregnancy and birth twice, and having had two very different experiences in the postpartum (on account of differing levels of engagement by my community), I have come to believe that nurturing and community support are essential elements in the health and well-being of all new families. Not only in the unfoldment of the new mother, but also in the continuing life story of the child. While we have all heard it said that "It takes a Village to Raise a Child", we must also remember that it is the child will who will go on to raise the world!
Today's parents are not only expected to be the sole providers for and bare 100% of the responsibility of raising young children, at the same time they are expected to make a meaningful and significant contribution to society.
But where have all the Grannies, the Aunties, the Grandfathers and the Uncles gone? Have we forgotten that our children's children will go on to serve all of humankind in continuation of life on the planet? That they will one day be the leaders and decision makers in a future that will affect society at large? Are we not all responsible?
This book explains why it is in all of our best interests to support young families by raising the next generation in community. It offers many ideas for how we can create not only great beginnings for the new mother and baby, but also a child friendly world as well!
This book is as much acknowledgment and validation for motherhood as it is chock full of uplifting and inspiring encouragement. It offers realistic, creative and tangible ideas for nurturing all aspects of lives including our relationships, our babies, our partnerships, community and self care!

5 Reasons Why This Book is Unlike Anything You’ve Read Before
Difference #1 This is not about what to eat in pregnancy, but rather about nurturing all aspects of your self not only for the sake of your own and your baby's well being, but also to establish your self care rhythms before the baby comes.
Difference #2 This book is a gentle reminder of how important it is to continue to cultivate your interests and pursuits as an individual woman, even while fully embracing the role of the mother.
Difference #3 This book is not about your changing body and developing baby, but rather about honouring you, your embarkation into motherhood and your transformation as a woman!
Difference #4 This book is as much for Doulas, Midwives, Friends, Family, Partners and the extended community of a pregnant woman as much as, if not more than for the pregnant woman herself!
Difference #5 This book is about how contributing to pregnant women ensures a brighter future for all of us and about the power and responsibility that we have as mothers!

"This book was wonderful and beautiful and I am so excited to give this to as many people as I can think of .....can't wait to do my part to share it with the world"
Kerri Glendinning

"What a beautiful way to translate your beliefs and knowledge with others.....so many pregnant women don't even know this is available to them! I love your soul and I know you will inspire many to do the same for others....have you realized the magnitude of your contribution to the world? If you are able to make one pregnant woman at a time feel embraced and celebrated for her accomplishment of motherhood, you will start changing the world, one expectant mother at a time! "
Helen Soderberg New York, NY
"This is a beautiful gift from your sacred goddess self to us all. The flow makes me feel that this is all the training ever needed in another to being fully present and in service to the family of a new one coming in. I well up with tears because of its depth and beauty Sherry. And all so commonly felt among us. I feel you are sharing in simple perfect words, all that I have wished to impart to others for community birth. Bless you and thank you! You have covered lovingly and beautifully everything. If someone wants to be trained as doula this is all they need to start and then just be with the moms. If you are granmama, auntie, sister, man, mom this is a must read book. I want all my people to read it! Well done."
Carole Perez Montanari Sagaponack, NY
Awesome! I LOVED it!!!!!!! I am so happy to see someone devote a book to the community, the pregnant woman and new mama needs! I especially liked your juxtaposition of postpartum after Isaiah and postpartum after Jasmine's throughout the book. My two favourite sections were mama as Bodhisattva and the topic of self care. Thank you for writing this!"

What a treat to read your beautiful book. It is wonderful and such a gift. Blessings on this birth Sherry. An enlightened entity indeed."
Ronda Rice Kauai, HI
"I just wanted to offer my support for such an inspirational piece of work that comes from the heart. It is beautifully written and weaves the journey of birth and motherhood into the fabric of life- it really is a tribute to your gentle sweet love of humanity. I have observed you many times as you you immersed your sweet Jasmine in unconditional Mother Love and this book is a testimony to you as a mother. All you have written comes from your experience and truth as a Wise Woman/ Mother/ Doula/ Healer- well done dearest Sherry, this is indeed a gift to mothers babies families and communities all around the Earth Mother!"
Janice Bass, Midwife, New Zealand
"I so appreciate the tone and content of what you are saying here. The deep importance of pregnancy and birth and the crucial task of mothers is often ignored in our society. It feels good to read your words- its like a fresh breeze! I loved the part on teas and infusions, I learned a lot!"
Edmonton, AB
"I have to tell you how grateful I am that you followed spirit's prompt to put this all together. It is timely, so necessary. I see many truths that emerged in my own life experiences. I can also attest to the wisdom, nourishment and deep peace that pour forth from this time in our lives. I was also encouraged to just"get on with it" around week 2, like was all this really necessary? But it was and it is. It would be wonderful if more people knew about these safe-guards of maternal, baby, family, community health. Some of my favorite parts are about how we can have a kid moon, or do something special even long after the birth of our children. This is so important, and valuable, for those who at the time did not receive the proper nourishment and acknowledgement they deserved. This is a wonderful gateway into the world of sacred pregnancy, birth and beyond, relationship healing and community building. Years of personal experience as a mother, witnessing as a doula and support to friends and clients as well as many hours of research have gone into this precious resource for all. I will definitely direct friends and family to this labour of love, in the hope of inspiring all to honour and support the budding families in our midst. With humour, compassion, insight and inspiration, Sherry gives recipes for not only herbal infusions, but peaceful beginnings. Thank you Sherry!"

"I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your book! I couldn't sleep the other night and stayed up till the morning finishing it because I couldn't put it down. I love how real and down to earth you present your materials and opinions, it made for a good read. It also got me really thinking about hiring a post partum doula after this little baby is born. Not necessarily because I feel I "need" one. But because I think I deserve the sacred time with my new family".
