“Bailey Gaddis brings a fresh new approach to holistic prenatal preparation in this uplifting and reassuring book that draws from the harmonizing principles of feng shui. An engaging read that takes your mind on a gentle trip down a river of wisdom, inspiring the reader to practice self-care and enjoy personal growth throughout the childbearing year.”

Pam England, Co-Author of Birthing From Within

​”​I finished Feng Shui Mommy in two days. This is my first pregnancy and I had so many questions that revolved around the fear aspect of pregnancy and childbirth. Sure, the internet is a bottomless cesspool of information – most of it terrifying. Feng Shui Mommy appeased me. My anxiety turned into excitement. Now I’m aware of what my body is capable of doing all on its own and all of my strength is waiting to be used in pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. Thank you for helping me recognize that power!”

Alanna Ubach, actress on Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce

“Bailey is hilarious. I’m sure we’d get along great in a Mommy group. The book is very encouraging, yet honest about the process of becoming a mother. It is really applicable for a first time mom or a seventh time mom like myself.”

Lindsey Jane, Blogger at Notes from the Parsonage

​”I recently had the chance to review Feng Shui Mommy: Creating Balance and Harmony for Blissful Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood. I was intrigued by the idea of balance and harmony, and bliss in the face of the challenges of motherhood.

There were elements of the book I really liked. I liked the focus on working with your natural tendencies and making adjustments to focus on balance, on keeping everything in harmony, and of really being able to enjoy even the hard experiences. It also really encourages moms to trust their own intuition, which is valuable advice, since what works well for one mom might not work well for another, and there’s nothing wrong with doing something differently (as long as it’s still safe).

There are specific suggestions for all four trimesters (including immediately after birth) to help ease stress and prepare for the next stage. The book also touches on a lot of topics, including feeding, birthing positions, and more.”

 

Bekah Jorgensen, Blogger at Motherhood Moment

“I genuinely recommend this book to any future mama or any woman curious about pregnancy, motherhood, or learning more about this ultra-transformational time in mother’s lives. Feng Shui Mommy is an intelligent blend of scientific understanding melded with an intuitive trust of ourselves, our desires, and needs as wise and knowledgeable women.”

Kelli Schaffer, Blogger at Peace to the People

“Gaddis used the five elements of Feng Shui, applied to three levels (physical, mental, spiritual), to anchor her perceptions and process what she was experiencing. With or without that framework, she has written a book which offers pregnant women and new mothers a way to maintain balance in all areas of their lives and always find the joy in what is an extremely stressful process.”

Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insight

“Bailey’s gloriously grounded approach and her normalizing of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood elevate the experience to its rightful place as a spiritual milestone and the transformational opportunity of every woman’s lifetime, to step into her truest, richest, and most resplendent, liberated self: balanced, confident, powerful, harmonious, and whole — the Feng Shui Mommy! This delightful, inspiring book had my ovaries popping, my oxytocin pumping, and my heart champing at the bit to embark on the awesome, miraculous magic-carpet ride of mommyhood all over again!”

Jessica Cauffiel, actor, writer, producer, shaman

“This book is very well written and easy to read, with excellent ideas to make your birth experience the best it can be. This guide is a tool that may help you find balance and comfort in your life overall, not only in childbirth.”
