“Much more than a book launch: A real consciousness-raising experience!”

Listening to the women at the launch of Birth Goddess tell their stories, and hearing the wonderful and inspirational Rachana describe the genesis of the birthing centre movement in the 70s, gave me a serious reality check. This event made me realise how truly lucky I am to have joyfully birthed two gorgeous children (in my 40s) with no drugs and minimal intervention.

As a child of the 70s, I had simply assumed that, as a woman, 1/ I was made to give birth, 2/  I knew what was best for me and my baby, and 3/ that I would only need assistance or intervention if medically necessary. I had insisted on a midwife and a ‘hands-off’ obstetrician who supported my philosophy and birth plan.
 
Hearing other women share their stories, and realising how our culture in Australia still isolates so many woman from their bodies and each other’s knowledge makes me so grateful for Katrina’s inspiring book.
 
Despite the increasing medicalisation of childbirth that has occurred over the past 20 years, there is still a path for women to take their birth rights and power back, and reclaim childbirth as the glorious labour that it can be.”~Iris Lauchland
 
“I loved attending Katrina’s book launch in Melbourne. The guest speakers were amazing and it was great to hear the feedback from mums who had been inspired and encouraged from the chapters in Katrina’s book. The goodies bag we received had wonderful gifts for babies and a copy of Katrina’s ‘Birth Goddess’ book which was fantastic!” ~Lauren Scott

“Katrina, congratulations on such a powerful book. Your book launch made me aware of the enormous impact it has on Mums. So much that women of older generations were not exposed to.

What an enlightening and wonderful time I had. I will definitely be encouraging pregnant woman I find to track you down!!” ~ Julie Parker

“Thank you again for the incredible event, I had a really great time and it’s always good to form new relationships within the birth world. Thank you.” Sera Smitten

“What a terrific event Katrina. I am so glad I came. The presentation was brilliant and the birth stories and discussion shared was beautiful. You created a rich and safe women’s space. Congratulations! The showbag was wonderful too! Thank you. An added bonus, I had the opportunity to connect with some valuable people who were supportive of my work. A blessed day. Good luck on your tour!” ~ Anita Bentata

Thanks for inviting me to your super book launch on Saturday afternoon. I personally found it professionally run, informative and interesting. Everyone seemed to be very engaged in the day and I think we all benefited tremendously from it. The raffle was fun and the prizes were awesome and so was the food. I really enjoyed it. Cheers, Charise Katz
