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.

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.

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

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 couldn't imagine living in a state that didn't reach the ocean. It was a giant reset button. You could go to the edge of the land and see infinity and feel renewed.

It's very expensive to be a professional tennis player with all the travel and the flights and the hotels and everything.

Zen teaches that once we can open up to the inevitability of our demise, we can begin to transform that situation and lighten up about it.

Love is more pleasant once you get out of your twenties. It doesn't hurt all the time.

You can show your love to others by not wishing that they should be better Christians.

Jesus didn't come to make us Christian. Jesus came to make us fully human.

I set very high standards for myself and worked every game with the same energy and enthusiasm as if it were the seventh game of a World Series.

The voices of fear are so loud today. The voices of love should never shout, but neither should they whisper - not at a time like this.

Out of the bliss comes magic, wonderment and creativity.

Jesus communicated parables to the secular people around him and he used stories that were very relevant to their lives, and He was taking heaven's truth and packaging it in an earthly context.
