“Empowerment, strength, individuality, passion and joy are words that should be associated with birth for both mother and baby. It's a journey to look forward to, not to fear. The process of leaving the womb and slipping into mama's arms is one of life's most magical, intense and powerful transitions, and it should be given the respect and elation it deserves.”  -Dr. Jill Diane Chasse
