I love to receive babies into this world, so crawling around on my knees in the birth room is my best place, and most often you can still find me there.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

There is a largely-ignored healthcare calamity in the United States that sees between two and three women die every day during pregnancy and childbirth.
