Product Description
This book is about creating balance and joy in everyday life. Drawing on her personal wisdom as registered nurse, yoga teacher, and mother of three, author Beth Irvine teaches families practical ways to build healthier lifestyles.
Using simple language and gorgeous photographs, Irvine invites her readers to engage in yoga, breathing techniques, meditation, creative expression, wholesome nutrition, and introduces them to complementary therapies such as homeopathy. She then applies these practices to common health problems, both physical and emotional, all the while respecting both conventional western and complementary medicines.
This guidebook empowers parents to lay the foundation of a healthier, happier life for their children whether by:
• Creating simple but meaningful family rituals
• Making a soothing and secure home environment
• Addressing issues affecting a child's self-esteem
Irvine's message of hope and inspiration to parents everywhere is this: just a few small steps in the right direction really will build stronger families from the inside-out.

Whether you have experience with yoga and acupuncture, or you are parent who is just curious to find ways to enhance your family's well-being, reading Beth's book feels like sitting down with a wise and supportive friend and parenting mentor. Beth has a professional background in nursing as well as yoga and craniosacral therapy.
I have an appreciation for book design and "Healthy Mother, Healthy Child" made me feel peaceful just picking it up and admiring the clean lines and beautiful photography and layout. You get the feeling that Beth brings a sense of quality and mindfulness to everything she does.
I love that she includes creative expression as well as an exploration of healing techniques including meditation, breathing, nutrition and alternative therapies. Beth can help you build a foundation of self-care and provide gentle reminders to guide you along the way.

This book is beautifully written and very easy to read. I have referred to it often for life tips. With our hectic pace of life, these tools bring balance. It is so important to give our children skills on how to reduce stress and anxiety. A special challenge for me is finding the calm quiet place, but when I do take that time in my day....it does indeed set the tone/pace and intentions for my day. Loved the information on creating ritual! Would make a perfect Mothers Day gift.
