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

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.

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.

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

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

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

As a midwife, I am immersed in Oxytocin day and night.
