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 get happy very easily and very often.

Birthing is the most profound initiation to spirituality a woman can have.

Statistically, the United States rates number 39 in maternal mortality. This means that it is safer to be pregnant and to give birth in 38 other countries than the USA... and less expensive too.

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

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.

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