Complementary Therapies for Postdates Pregnancy

Dr Denise Tiran has once again written a must have book for health professional's wishing to safely integrate complementary therapies within post dates midwifery care. -- Claire Mayhead, Midwife and owner of Serenity Birth Therapies
An essential read, not only for midwives and clinicians but for parents navigating through their pregnancy with hopes and plans for birth. Denise Tiran clearly narrates the pressure women face in relation to "post dates" pregnancy and challenges what has become normal practice. This book promotes reflection and discussion whilst also welcoming options and benefits of complementary therapies to enable choice and a less medicalised approach. With this book, we as professionals can return to being 'with women' to empower and enabling choice to protect normal birth and positive birth experiences. -- Nicola Rai, Senior Nurse and Midwife
An in depth, fascinating book on postdates pregnancy and essential guide to all health professionals who support women in pregnancy, at a time when maternity services are facing a medical induction epidemic. -- Fiona Richmond SRN, RM, Diploma in Midwifery Complementary Therapies NHS Midwife and Business Owner of Fionabirthing (Ante natal education and complementary therapies in Midwifery)
Fascinating...it offers a comprehensive look at these modalities, including real traditional approaches to postdates pregnancy, including foods. Denise's style is refreshingly frank and honest around a subject which is often contentious. With her many years of experience and extremely full references section for each chapter, this is a book that should be on your bookshelf if you have any desire to work with this particular client base. * Jo Kellett, In Essence: Journal of the International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists *
