Our female bodies are connected with nature just like a garden.

When you move toward that which is most fulfilling and life-enhancing, healing follows regardless of what your health is like in that moment.

When enough women realize that birth is a time of great opportunity to get in touch with their true power, and when they are willing to assume responsibility for this, we will reclaim the power of birth and help move technology where it belongs-in the service of birthing women, not their master.

You have far more power to heal and be healthy than you ever dreamed possible. Your health is not outside of you. And you don't need to deteriorate with advancing age.

Because connection with others and our "best self" is the most primal need we have, shame feels absolutely awful.

Self-love is part of your birthright. I'm excited to be sharing this message to "beautiful girls" everywhere, including those disguised as grandmothers.

I remember when my mother taught me about my menstrual cycle and pregnancy. She, like millions of other mothers before and since, did not have the words or the experience to teach me about the miraculous cycle in my body - the cycle that is responsible for all human life on our planet and connects us to the moon and the tides. Nor did she have the words to teach me about the gift of sensual pleasure that is the birthright of all girls. If she had, my life surely would have been different. For one, I probably would not have suffered from devastating menstrual cramps for decades.
