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.

My passion for maternal and child health led me to continue my studies and pursue the path of midwifery. And here I am now... still catching babies.

I became a passionate seeker of childbirth knowledge.

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.

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

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

I get happy very easily and very often.
