Synopsis

This book is about creating balance and joy in everyday life. Drawing on her personal wisdom as registered nurse, yoga teacher, and mother of three, author Beth Irvine teaches families practical ways to build healthier lifestyles.
 
Using simple language and gorgeous photographs, Irvine invites her readers to engage in yoga, breathing techniques, meditation, creative expression, wholesome nutrition, and introduces them to complementary therapies such as homeopathy. She then applies these practices to common health problems, both physical and emotional, all the while respecting both conventional western and complementary medicines.
 
This guidebook empowers parents to lay the foundation of a healthier, happier life for their children whether by:
 
· Creating simple but meaningful family rituals
· Making a soothing and secure home environment
· Addressing issues affecting a child's self-esteem
 
Irvine's message of hope and inspiration to parents everywhere is this: just a few small steps in the right direction really will build stronger families from the inside-out.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

Sam, my three-month-old son, had a sudden outbreak of an irritated rash on almost every inch of his precious little body. For me it was hard to believe there was a solution for his pain. I realize now that it took something this big and scary to give me the courage to step outside of everything I had been trained to do to help others. I had to find a new way to help my son. This was the beginning of my journey -- the first step in searching for a wider knowledge, a deeper understanding of the roots of disease. This was my portal to climb through leading me to a place of new possibilities for balance, for health, for creating a place of well-being that will have a lasting effect. The way of life I discovered reflects wellness from the wholeness within.
