Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers ~ strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.

We've put birth in the same category with illness and disease and it's never belonged there. Birth is naturally safe, but we've allowed it to be taken over by the medical community.

Babies are bits of star-dust blown from the hand of God. Lucky the woman who knows the pangs of birth for she has held a star.

It was the tiniest thing I ever decided to put my whole life into.

Birth is an experience that demonstrates that life is not merely function and utility, but form and beauty.

Birth is as safe as life gets.
