My sister and the baby she was carrying died in the United States of America. They died in the country that spends more money on pregnancy and birth technology than any other country in this world.

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

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.

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

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

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 get happy very easily and very often.
