Jessie Cunniffe Brings Her Magic to “Maternity Abroad”

I’m so excited to share some behind‑the‑scenes news with you. Jessie Cunniffe — the talented blurb writer and coach — brought her gift for words to Maternity Abroad, helping craft the blurb that now welcomes readers into the book.

And it’s working. Since its release, Maternity Abroad has reached mothers in over 13 countries, proving that the need for honest, compassionate guidance about pregnancy and birth abroad is universal.

Why Jessie’s Work Matters

A blurb isn’t just a paragraph on the back cover. It’s a reader’s first impression — the voice that whispers, this might be the book you’ve been searching for. Jessie captured the heart of Maternity Abroad in a way that feels authentic and inviting, making sure women everywhere could see themselves in its pages.

About the Book

Maternity Abroad: Becoming a Mother in a Foreign Land isn’t a manual full of rules. It’s a collection of real stories and insights from women who braved the unknown — navigating different languages, customs, and healthcare systems while stepping into motherhood far from home.

Where You Can Find It

📖 Already available worldwide on Amazon Kindle and in print, in both English and Portuguese.

If you’re preparing to become a mother abroad — or simply curious about the cultural differences in birth and motherhood — this book was written to keep you company through the unexpected.

Jessica Gabrielzyk writes about the messy, magical, and often misunderstood moments of life abroad — from giving birth in a foreign hospital to helping toddlers color their way through culture shock. Originally from Brazil, she has lived on three continents, parented in three languages, and now calls Switzerland home with her husband, child, and a dog who has more stamps in her passport than most adults.

Her books, including Maternity Abroad, Parenting Unpacked, and My First American Coloring Book, are heartfelt, honest, and rooted in real global experience. She is a proud member of the Society for Intercultural Education, Training and Research (SIETAR) and believes storytelling is the one language that truly travels.
