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

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

“Just as a woman’s heart knows how and when to pump, her lungs to inhale, and her hand to pull back from fire, so she knows when and how to give birth.”

“There is a secret in our culture, and it’s not that birth is painful. It’s that women are strong.”
