“After years of observing thousands of women during pregnancy and birth and how parents bond with their unborn and newborn babies, I was convinced that peace on earth begins before and during birth. More than just a philosophy of empowering women to have a powerful and positive birth experience, the approach that I have taken in my work as a ‘birth activist’ is to bring information to as many people as possible about the importance of gestation and birth on the development of the type of brain that supports an environment of peace. When women focus on peace and love during their pregnancy and birth through mindful awareness of the state of their own being, the developing baby's system is also being wired for peace, joy and contentment that can last a lifetime.”

“I believe that we are born equipped with the strength to grow our babies and birth them peacefully. As the years go by, we become jaded with negative language surrounding birth. For some reason people think it’s a badge of honor to tell a pregnant person the most horrifying stories possible! By the time we are ready to get pregnant and start our families, our minds are full of fear surrounding childbirth. We seek out classes, books, anything we can get our hands on to unlearn these thoughts. What if we changed the way we described pregnancy, birth and parenting? If we used positive language, trusted our instincts and dug deep into the root of who we are? It is truly a gift to experience this journey! Yes, there is a bit of pain, but there is so much joy! If you allow yourself to surrender by trusting your body and your mind you will see that birth in not about pain or a curse, but it is a transformative experience that you will be grateful you got to experience.”
