    ‎'Remember this, for it is as true and true gets: Your body is not a lemon. You are not a machine. The Creator is not a careless mechanic. Human female bodies have the same potential to give birth well as aardvarks, lions, rhinoceri, elephants, moose, and water buffalo. Even if it has not been your habit throughout your life so far, I recommend that you learn to think positively about your body.” —Ina May Gaskin

The task in which the women are engaged is political. It forms the warp and weft of society.” –Sheila Kitzinger (Rediscovering Birth)

  • A newborn baby lying on a towel, wrapped in a blanket, in a black and white photo after an empowering home birth.

    "At some point, you're going to think you can't do it anymore. That's when you're so close and your baby is coming." — Kim Farr

    “Making the decision to have a child – it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” – Elizabeth Stone

  • A woman in labor sitting in her shower on a birth ball with water on her body and a doula pouring water from a shower head to help her relax during contractions.
