2011 - Talk Birth

to celebrate the fullness and completeness of women-in-themselves, not just of value while pregnant. For
these same reasons, I decided to pursue a doctoral degree in women’s spirituality—while birth work is still
important to me, I feel very ”called” to celebrate, work with, acknowledge, and respect the full cycle of a
woman’s life.
”We are mothers, sisters, family wrapped in different cloth,
standing under the same wide sky
and we’ve come to the very end of our silence
together we’ve found our voice
and it is loud
and it is beautiful
and it sings a love song for our children”
