"Betty's book is easy to read and understand-two elements vital to learning and understanding the art of homeopathy."  --Jill Cohen, midwife and associate editor for Midwifery Today magazine"Excellent! Perfect blend of common sense, intuition, information, and encouragement!"  --Martha Groggel, C.N.M., Ph.D., faculty at the Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing"Ms. Idarius has done a great service with this fine manual. The homeopathic information is beautifully presented - in a highly lucid fashion. It is clear that she is not only speaking from many years of experience with the subject, but even more valuable, that she brings to it a sensitivity arising out of a deep love of this work. Bravo!"  --Ana Chavarria de Shore, P.A.-C., Homeopath/Women's Health"Thanks are due to Betty for her thorough and informative manual on a much neglected subject."  --Richard Moskowitz, M.D., author of Homeopathic Medicines for Pregnancy and Childbirth"The information presented in this book is clear, concise, and interspersed throughout with practical suggestions. Betty's dedication to the birthing process shines through on every page."  --Miranda Castro, F.S.Hom., C.C.H., R.S.Hom., author of Homeopathy for Pregnancy, Birth and Your Baby's First Year, The Complete Homeopathy Handbook, and Homeopathic Guide to Stress"This book brings homeopathy to a new level by combining the skills necessary for good midwifery care with the application of homeopathy. It, therefore, provides an excellent practical foundation for those assisting the woman during childbirth."  --Louis Klein, R.S.Hom., founding president of North American Society of Homeopaths"This book is a must for any midwife or homeopath helping women with the birthing process and any pregnant woman who wants to learn the benefits of homeopathy for childbirth."  --Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman, N.D., DHANP, of The Patient's Guide to Homeopathic Medicine, Homeopathic Self-Care: The Quick and Easy Guide for the Whole Family, Ritalin-Free Kids, and Prozac Free"This is the finest reference guide to homeopathic care for pregnancy, birth, and the newborn I have read. The philosophy of birth being a healthful process in a family's life is echoed throughout the book. Ms. Idarius continues the legacy of midwifery; to be "with women," listening with open heart and mind. This valuable resource manual gives me the guidance and confidence to broaden my use of homeopathic remedies in my midwifery practice. Thank you for such an eloquent, gentle, and thorough compendium of homeopathy for the childbearing woman and her newborn."  --Laura Mann, C.N.M., F.N.P., M.S., faculty at the Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing, course coordinator of Promoting Health and Wellness, Welcoming Home Nurse-Midwifery Service
