Rebozo Me Mommy is a blending of gentle parenting practices with the ancient knowledge of my ancestors. I have been sharing the wonders of the rebozo for years and discovered that the very things that will calm and relax a woman in labor, did the same for my children. Rebozo Me Mommy takes gentle parenting and my love for the rebozo and spells out how to help your children feel grounded, centered and connected to you. This seemingly simple piece of fabric holds a kind of magic that parents keep telling me is a “game changer”. The rebozo can be used with new borns, toddlers, tweens and teens. You can even use the rebozo on your significant other! The rebozo is an ancient technology that is not just for women in labor. It is a part of my heritage that I am so happy to share with you.
HOW TO SELL YOUR CLIENTS A BRIDGE covers the history of the rebozo and how best to introduce it to your clients with confidence. Included in this book, are the mistakes I have made in the past regarding introducing the rebozo to my clients, and how you can avoid making those same mistakes with yours. While the book focuses on the Rebozo, the techniques that you will be introduced to you range from Sales to Psychology.

REBOZO POSITION GUIDE
The rebozo position guide is a Visual Aide to help remind past students techniques and ideas learned in Gena’s workshop. The guide addresses all of the major techniques covered in the “Make The Partner Do It” Rebozo workshop. Photo Illustrations of each technique show you the correct positioning of the Rebozo and the partner for relaxation, comfort and assistance in pushing and delivery.
The Rebozo Positions Guide is a great temporary guide for doulas who have an idea about the rebozo but would like to know more. I highly recommend you take a live workshop or my online workshop to accompany this guide.
Books and resources can serve as companions through the long arc of birth work, offering reassurance on quiet days and steady guidance when challenges arrive. A well chosen library reflects the values a professional wishes to bring into each room, from gentle language to informed advocacy. Readers often discover that the most useful texts are the ones revisited often, each time revealing a new layer of insight shaped by fresh experience. The right book can slow a rushing mind, clarify a tangled question, and remind a birth worker why they began this calling in the first place. Such resources become trusted friends on a journey that is always changing and always asking for deeper understanding.
For parents, curated reading offers more than information, it offers companionship through the unknown. Expectant families often feel overwhelmed by advice, and a thoughtful book can cut through the noise with clear language and grounded perspective. The most helpful guides acknowledge that every pregnancy, every labor, and every newborn is unique, refusing to offer one size fits all answers. Instead they invite reflection, encourage questions, and build confidence in the reader. When a parent closes a book feeling more capable and less afraid, that is the mark of meaningful work. Resources written from real experience tend to honor the emotional terrain of parenthood, not just the clinical details, and that balance is what makes them worth keeping on the shelf.
Birth professionals benefit from resources that stretch beyond technique into the deeper art of presence. Holding space for a family in labor requires more than training, it asks for emotional intelligence, cultural awareness, and the willingness to listen without rushing to fix. Books that explore these qualities help doulas and educators refine their approach, reminding them that humility often serves clients better than certainty. Seasoned practitioners can find renewed inspiration in collections of stories from colleagues across the world, each perspective adding texture to their own practice. The best professional resources do not dictate a single method, they open doors to many paths, trusting the reader to choose what aligns with their values and the families they serve with care.
Guides focused on comfort measures and positioning are especially valuable because they translate ancient wisdom into modern practice. The rebozo, a long woven cloth, carries generations of knowledge about movement, relaxation, and connection, and written guides help bridge that tradition with contemporary birth settings. Such resources teach how simple tools can create profound shifts in how a laboring person feels, helping tension dissolve and confidence rise. For parents, learning these techniques ahead of time builds a sense of partnership with their own body. For professionals, written references offer a dependable reference point during long hours, when a quick reminder of positioning or rhythm can make all the difference in supporting a smooth and grounded experience for everyone in the room.
A meaningful resource library grows over time, shaped by the questions that arise in real practice and the families who inspire deeper learning. Collecting books is not about accumulation, it is about curation, choosing voices that resonate, challenge, and expand understanding. As birth work continues to evolve, resources that honor both evidence and intuition remain essential, helping practitioners and parents alike navigate uncertainty with grace. Returning to a favorite book after years of experience often reveals how much the reader has grown, and how the words themselves have stayed steady. In that way, books become more than references, they become milestones, marking the path of a lifelong commitment to learning, serving, and walking alongside families through one of life's most transformative journeys.
