“Giving birth in ecstasy: This is our birthright and our body's intent. Mother Nature, in her wisdom, prescribes birthing hormones that take us outside our usual state, so that we can be transformed on every level as we enter motherhood.� This exquisite hormonal orchestration unfolds optimally when birth is undisturbed, enhancing safety for both mother and baby. Science is also increasingly discovering what we realize as mothers—that our way of birth affects us life-long, both mother and baby, and that an ecstatic birth—a birth that takes us beyond our self—is the gift of a life-time.” �Dr. Sarah Buckley
