Oxytocin is the hormone of love. We share it when we have a good conversation, we share it when we make love, and when we hug, and BIRTH is the biggest brightest time of rich oxytocin-sharing.

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

I love to receive babies into this world, so crawling around on my knees in the birth room is my best place, and most often you can still find me there.

I had amazing midwives when I first became a teen-aged mom, and each of the five times I gave birth.

Oxytocin rocks the world.

In a nutshell, I am a mom, a grandma, and a midwife.

Like my sister, 981 women die every day on Earth from pregnancy and birth-related complications.
