In The Press
“A gifted healer and passionate writer, Mia Kalef combines scientific
findings, personal intuition, and therapeutic insights for a
fascinating view of prenatal experience and its lifetime consequences,
the multigenerational and social influences that shape it, and the
healing of its potentially traumatic imprints.”
—Gabor Maté, MD, author of
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction
“Dr. Kalef's book is a work of art. It is full of tales that ring
true, that make sense, that are full of heart, that smack of
authenticity. Kalef masterfully mixes personal and clinical experience
with current literature throughout, saturating the reader with a sense
of the continuity of our lives and the meaningfulness of our adult
behavior.”
—Michael Trout, director, Infant-Parent Institute
“At
a time when our cultural lack of understanding of the birth process
has reached an extreme degree, the world needs practitioners such as
Mia Kalef.”
—Michel Odent, MD, author of
Childbirth and the Future of Homo Sapiens
“Mia Kalef provides major evidence for the existence of sentience and
experience in the womb. She defends with good arguments that our
collective denial of this truth impacts negatively how we deal with
pregnancy and prenatal mother-child interaction, which itself leads to
severe disturbances in our relationships with ourselves, each other,
and the global community of life. She provides clear and efficient
procedures to help us recognize and overcome early traumatic imprints
so that we may be in harmony with the stream of life. This book
is a firm and reliable plea to reevaluate the secret life of babies
and see how they are emissaries of a lost wisdom that has the power to
set us on a more wholesome and balanced course.”
—Jaap Van Der Wal, PhD, author of The Embryo in Us, and former
professor of anatomy and embryology, University of Maastricht,
Holland
“Mia Kalef has written a book that brings science to a level
from which everyone can understand and benefit. She cites interesting
studies from around the world…animals, the human species, history,
and various cultures. With vivid and yet simple depictions of how
prenatal and birth experiences can support a person's/family's quest
for change and health, her words remind us that it is never too late
to heal.”
—Judyth O. Weaver, PhD, somatic and perinatal therapist, and
co-founder and professor, Santa Barbara Graduate Institute
“It’s a pleasure to read Dr. Kalef’s comprehensive and empathetic
book, in which she describes the deep influences human early life have
on later physical, emotional, and social conditions. She describes the
social and historical backgrounds for why we don’t know this and
invites us to her Intuitive Recovery Project for finding a new, more
sustainable personal connection to these concepts. This great book
helps us understand the very real social implications of the prenatal
time and to deepen our understanding of ourselves within in it.”
—Rupert Linder, MD, past president, International Society of Prenatal
and Perinatal Psychology and Medicine, and specialist for gynecology,
obstetrics, psychosomatics, and psychotherapy
“Dr. Mia Kalef's The Secret Life of Babies is an illuminating
read, and a revelation. Not only a book for new and expecting parents,
Kalef's book will make readers think about the circumstances
surrounding their own birth and how this could be the basis of some of
the traumas and inhibitions, and even addictions they experience as
adults. Incorporating both detailed case studies and broader overviews
of history and culture, the book is a wake-up call for people to pay
more attention to prenatal and perinatal conditions and take a hard
look at the way that society treats women and mothers, and ask
themselves if it's time for a change.”
—Jenny Uechi, managing editor, The Vancouver Observer
