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.

My sister had health insurance; she should have been warned by her doctors that she was at risk. But she was a minority. The doctors took little interest in her as an individual, and she fell through the cracks. And died.

I became a fierce advocate for gentle birth as a solution for the most pressing problems of our times - a solution that begins at the source.

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 get happy very easily and very often.
