I am just one of many many thousands of midwives, who are devoted to saving lives gently.

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

Every baby's first breath on Earth could be one of peace and love. Every mother should be healthy and strong. Every birth could be safe and loving. But our world is not there yet

I imagine a world in which all humans are born with an intact capacity to love, and I am willing to devote my life to making it happen.

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

Women will always pay the price for love, that is why God makes us so much stronger than men.

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.

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.

Gentle birth, protecting mother and baby, is a solution that I believe will result in positive change for our society.

Childbirth being one's most significant life passage, those close to us when we open to birth a baby will never be forgotten.

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.

War...is ugly and brutalizing, and the nobility is in doing it without becoming ugly and brutalizing.

Well, have you even tried again? You can’t just sit around waiting for the new world to take it with you. You have to go out and be part of it - despite your past mistakes.

The light within my soul is sacred.

When people in government [make mistakes], they don't say, those people in the government. They say, we've got a problem to solve.

I started going to castings a few years ago when people didn't know who I was. People forget about [that time] because they've seen my career - the path that it's had in the last couple years.

Like every other girl in the world, my most embarrassing moment had to do with a guy completely turning me down. His loss!

Whatever tension is on set can end up on your face.

Money's a very serious thing - especially when you haven't got any.

So, I'm not impressed by BP's promises and I'm not ready to take the word of a company with a track record of pursuing profit over safety.

Players aren't quite as intimidated by my name.
