Synopsis

"Maternal Journal is a great source of inspiration for any new parent trying to reconnect to their creativity or to themselves. So many thought-provoking exercises that fit easily into a busy life." Leah Hazard, author of Hard Pushed: a Midwife’s Story

"If you’re pregnant or a new parent I would definitely recommend this beautiful book. In fact I’d just recommend it full stop for anyone interested in art, poetry, and journaling etc." Amy Brown, author of The Positive Breastfeeding Book

Maternal Journal is filled to the brim with ideas, support and inspiration to create your very own journal through your pregnancy, birth and parenthood. This easy-to-use and beautifully illustrated book will help you explore your creative voice and develop a regular journaling practice using artistic tools and techniques that fit in with everyday parenting.

Inside, you will find more than 80 unique guided journal exercises created by leading artists, midwives, doulas and therapists to boost your creativity and wellbeing and help you reflect during this transformational stage of your life. Write a list poem with poet Hollie McNish, build a self-care alphabet with writer Laura Dockrill, or make your journaling manifesto with writer and performer Bryony Kimmings. Be a revolutionary mother with artist Barby Asante and explore daily drawings with live artist Bobby Baker.

Based on the award-winning global community movement, led by artist and midwife Laura Godfrey-Isaacs and communications and content producer Samantha McGowan, Maternal Journal promotes the simple but radical concept of expressing thoughts, feelings and experiences creatively in a journal to promote positive mental health and wellbeing throughout your parenting journey.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Laura Godfrey-Isaacs<p> Laura is a mother, artist, midwife, creative producer and birth activist. She uses her knowledge and experience in the arts together with midwifery to explore new and exciting ways to support autonomy, mental health and human rights through pregnancy and the experience of being a mother and parent.<p> As a practising midwife in London, she meets people on daily basis who are finding pregnancy, birth and building families challenging, especially if they have a history of mental health issues. She noticed a gap in support, and drawing on her background as a visual artist and producer for more than 20 years, created Maternal Journal to help address the issue.<p><p> Samantha McGowan<p> Sam is a mother and a communications specialist who has spent more than a decade working on global creative campaigns and projects. In 2017, she signed up to a Maternal Journal workshop in London while pregnant and loved it; up to this point, most conversations revolved around nappy sizes, key milestones, and sleeping bag togs, all of which are important – but there is more to discuss. After her son was born, Sam was surprised at how little space there really is to process emotions and connect over these shared and sometimes challenging experiences. She truly believes Maternal Journal goes a long way in addressing the gap.
