Customer Reviews
Excellent source of information
Kristen covers pregnancy and birth from a holistic point of view. Having had two babies so far (with one miscarriage in between) and just awaiting my third I learned the hard way that this topic can only be understood and approached holistically no matter what the initial conditions/birthing options/final outcomes are. I’m very thankful for her to provide such a rich source of support, knowledge and inspiration!
