The amazing heroic women in labor, they are the truest inspiration, and when they push their babies into the light... I am astonished every time.

I get happy very easily and very often.

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

The number of maternal deaths is significantly understated because of a lack of effective data collection both in the US and around the world.

I get crazy upset when I feel mothers or babies are not getting the loving care they need.

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.

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