“Yulia Watters has written an excellent book for both mental health and health care providers who want to learn more about hypnobirthing. She dismantles many of the myths related to trance work and hypnobirthing. Watters offers a solid description of a systemic and relational approach to working with patients; she invites providers to consider the relational web of which they are a part. Hypnobirth has much to offer any provider who works with expectant mothers.”
