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 am just one of many many thousands of midwives, who are devoted to saving lives gently.

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

I cry when I work in the garden, because the Sun, the rain, the wind and the Earth all work together to make us food and flowers. It just blows me away.

I learned that a healthy society is made up of loving, trusting individuals, and that these individuals in turn protect their environment, become stewards of our land, air and water, and they make peace, rather than war.

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

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.
