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 came to the conclusion that bringing Humans to earth with an intact ability to LOVE is essential if we are to survive as a species.

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.

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

After disasters, reproductive healthcare falls by the wayside. Yet babies continue to be born. When all infrastructure falls apart, when the hospitals and all their technological equipment are destroyed, midwives come in handy. They can help women give birth with or without electricity, running water, equipment - even shelter is optional. When babies are ready, they come.

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

I sing, I clean house, I write poetry. I cry. And I tell everyone I can, "I Believe in YOU."
