Movements In Touch For Mothers To Be

The book, MOVEMENTS IN TOUCH FOR MOTHERS TO BE, focuses on the special bond growing between a mother and her unborn child. Through movement and touch a dialogue is formed, shaping the nurturing instinct that sets the tone for a healthy mother-child relationship. During pregnancy, physical movement and relaxation contribute to an improved well being and are just as important as sticking to a healthy diet. As your belly expands during pregnancy, you will be feeling both physical stress on your body (especially to your lower back) and often some mental strain that can affect your overall health. The book teaches you how to perform simple movements to alleviate physical stresses and bring about tranquil moments that will restore your energy levels and provide mother-baby bonding opportunities you can both benefit from - physically and spiritually. Gilad Naaman Perry holds a Master of Education (M.Ed.) from the University of Leeds and specializes in communication through touch and movement as it relates to body and spirit. He lectures on topics of communication and the significant roles of touch and movement in the processes of forming bonds with others. Naaman's interest in the subject of body relaxation took on a new meaning during his many years of child rearing. Based on his studies and experience Naaman designed movements that incorporate body relaxation founded on the positive releasing properties of touch.
