Reviews for Back to the Womb

From her own experience and the shared experiences of fifty-nine mothers in Hawai'i, Alexandra comes to understand that childbirth is at the fulcrum of our human connection with our home, Mother Earth. It resonates through time, binding us with our ancestors, our culture. All of us are born from the womb of a woman, and this book shines moonlight on the significance of that fact. -Ibu Robin Lim, Bumi Sehat Foundation As someone who has been immersed in the world of birth for decades, I highly recommend Back to the Womb for expectant moms, new moms and anyone interested in stories of birth and reclamation. Dr. Alexandra Kisitu's book is a testament to the power of understanding our origins and honoring pregnancy, birth and postpartum. This book is a transformative and enlightening read that will leave you with a deep sense of connection to the essence of birth and life itself. -Debra Pascali Banaro, World-Renowned Inspirational Speaker, Filmmaker, Doula Trainer, Childbirth Educator and Author
