Praise for the Zen Mama GUIDE TO Finding Your RHYTHM IN Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond

“From bruised bottoms to breastfeeding success, Teresa and Sarah always keep it practical, purposeful, and very, very real. Zen Mamas is a great guide to hold in your hand—and inspire you—as you begin along the path of new motherhood.”  

—Dr. Harvey Karp, author of The Happiest Baby on the Block, inventor of SNOO  

“Before I had a baby of my own, I had certain ideas about the kind of mama I wanted to be. But when my baby came along, I found that almost all of it went out the window. I started following the Your Zen Mama blog because Sarah and Teresa’s style really resonated with me. This beautiful book aligns with my own mothering style of ‘meeting the needs when they arise,’ and I couldn’t put it down. I can see this book soon being a staple on all new mamas’ nightstands.” 

—Krysten Ritter, actor and author 

“The cover is idyllic but don’t let it, or the title, fool you. This isn’t a book about fairytale babies and perfect earth mothers. While there are plenty of pretty photos of hippie chic coauthors Sarah and Theresa with their tow-headed tots walking along beaches and playing in gardens, it’s the personal insights on tough mothering issues these good friends share with readers that makes The Zen Mama Guide so special. The two address such sensitive topics as infertility, miscarriage, postpartum depression, difficulties with breastfeeding, sleep problems, discipline, and more in a reassuring, straightforward, and nonjudgmental way. This is the perfect gift your expectant sister, friend, coworker, or daughter—or even you!” 

—Glynis Costin, West Coast Bureau Chief, InStyle magazine 

“The Zen Mama Guide offers expecting and new parents practical, evidence-based information in a casual, down-to-earth, and inspiring format. Teresa and Sarah share openly, and it makes the reader experience a beautiful connection with the writers.” 

—Ana Paula Markel, birth doula trainer and former DONA International president 

“Sarah and Teresa did a magnificent job of capturing the pregnancy journey. They thoroughly and accurately detailed prepregnancy issues, pregnancy, and the postpartum period. They left no stone unturned. I especially liked the attention placed on mental well-being.” 

—Jay M. Goldberg, MD 

“Sarah and Teresa are refreshingly real, open, and honest about the ups and downs of pregnancy from start to finish. In addition to their personal experiences, they have compiled a comprehensive reference guide with expert resources to help you navigate with confidence through life’s most unique journey.” 

—Dr. Elliot Berlin, DC
