Mother Matters Sheds Light on Mothercare
D
ayna M. Kurtz, a New York City- based author,
licensed social worker and pre/postnatal fitness trainer specializing in helping new and expectant mothers, has written a new book, Mother Matters: A Holistic Guide to Being a Happy, Healthy Mom, just in time for Moth- er’s Day. Kurtz is also director of the Anna
Dayna M. Kurtz
Keefe Women’s Center, a division of Te Training Institute of Mental Health, in Manhattan. A researched-based, self-help guide full of cost-effective, practical tools women can use to smooth the complex transition to motherhood, Mother Matters stands out in emphasizing the importance of caring for new mothers, in addition to their babies. Mother Matters is filled with real-life
stories from mothers, along with com- passionate and practical advice from the author. It addresses common struggles that mothers encounter, along with bet- ter and lesser known solutions to enable
greater health and happiness, including how to get more sleep; eat optimally for greater energy and faster heal- ing aſter birth; feel creative, competent and relaxed; safely incorporate postpartum
exercise with and without the baby; co-parent(or single parent) more effectively and get needed support. Kurtz focused on counseling women
in her private practice. Aſter the birth of her child, she experienced first-hand the emotional and physical challenges of Motherhood with little in the way of resources to assist mothers during this time. She shiſted her professional focus to working exclusively with new and expectant mothers. Recognizing that talk therapy was useful, but limited, she began exploring and writing about other researched-based treatment modalities. “Tere was so much interest that I real-
ized there was a need for more informa- tion, and I wanted to help more people,” she says. Familius Press says, “In a market
saturated with books on childcare, Mother Matters puts the emphasis squarely on mothercare.” Kurtz is also the author of Te Female Body Fix and a contributor to Te Doctor’s Book of Natural Remedies.
