Synopsis

Follow the Feng Shui path to motherhood

Feng Shui Pregnancy: Pregnancy and impending motherhood serve up a confusing cocktail of heroic strength and terrifying vulnerability. Our culture has seized on the “vulnerability” part of the pregnancy experience and tends to reinforce a pregnant woman’s insecurities instead of encouraging her to embrace this most natural time and trust her body, her intuition, and her own mind. Feng Shui Mommy takes a different approach, helping you build your own unique, epic journey to motherhood.

Helpful guidance through all four trimesters of your pregnancy: It’s about supporting her while she shores up her mind-body-spirit alignment, so she can best handle the cosmic kick in the uterus and juicy kiss on the soul that pregnancy is. Bailey Gaddis guides women through the experience, providing specific suggestions for mind, body, and spirit for each trimester (including the “fourth,” after birth), leading to birth preparation designed for mother and baby, and culminating in strong mother-child bonding.

Your pregnancy can be a joyful experience: Baily’s advice allows mothers to welcome delight and curiosity into the journey while taking each phase with purpose and calm ― and even a sense of fun. This comprehensive guide to pregnancy and parenting makes challenge and change joyful, allowing new life to be as incomparably wonder-filled as it is meant to be.

Feng Shui Mommy provides you with:

• Prenatal exercise advice
• Nutrition tips
• Birth preferences and birthing positions
• Breath work recommendations
• Breastfeeding guidance
• And much more

An essential pregnancy book: If you have read The Mama Natural Week-By-Week Guide to Pregnancy & Childbirth, Mindful Birthing, or Spiritual Midwifery, then you’ll want to have Feng Shui Mommy by your side throughout your pregnancy journey.

Thank you, Bailey Gaddis, for helping me recognize that power!”
