Birthing is the most profound initiation to spirituality a woman can have.

As a midwife, I am immersed in Oxytocin day and night.

Childbirth being one's most significant life passage, those close to us when we open to birth a baby will never be forgotten.

Research points to the fact that being born without trauma is the foundation for having an intact capacity to love and trust.

My first experience of having a baby was about as natural as birth can be, and though I didn't know it at the time, it set my feet on a path that eventually led me to become a childbirth author and a midwife.

Gentle birth, protecting mother and baby, is a solution that I believe will result in positive change for our society.

Every baby's first breath on Earth could be one of peace and love. Every mother should be healthy and strong. Every birth could be safe and loving. But our world is not there yet
