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.

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

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 get happy very easily and very often.

Oxytocin rocks the world.

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

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.
