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

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 find it ridiculous to assign a gender to an inanimate object incapable of disrobing and making an occasional fool of itself.

Moments always blossom more beautifully in memories.

Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil.

I'm a morning person, really alert.

I'm interested in stories. I think I'm a bit of a pathfinder.

There have been times in my life where I was asked to do things and I didn't feel comfortable with it.

Calling gender violence a women's issue is part of the problem. It gives a lot of men an excuse not to pay attention.

This man (Bergman) is one of the few film directors-perhaps the only one in the world-to have said as much about human nature as Dostoevsky or Camus.

The greatest obstacle to being heroic is the doubt whether one may going to prove one's self a fool.

I am a huge fan of Bollywood movies. Whenever I get time, I enjoy watching Hindi movies. Cooking really interests me, so I also experiment with food in my free time.
