When you destroy midwives, you also destroy a body of knowledge that is shared by women, that can’t be put together by a bunch of surgeons or a bunch of male obstetricians, because physiologically, birth doesn’t happen the same way around surgeons, medically-trained doctors, as it does around sympathetic women.

I was born and grew up in Kenya and Cote d'Ivoire. From the age of fifteen I lived in the UK. However, I always knew that I wanted to raise my children (whenever I had them) at home in Kenya.

It is New Year. There are so many opportunities to start again in my life. My kids are a daily example of this. No matter the day before they wake up ready for the new day full of love for me and the world. They do a great job of living in the now.
I am currently taking a business course under some great leaders through Young Living. I sell YoungLiving oils and other products as well as teach childbirth classes. I've seen and heard so many great things from these products. By using 2 oils my brother in law is off his ADD meds and away from all those nasty long term side effects the meds brought.
So how does this affect birth? Well oils can help with stretch marks, nausea, stalled labour and more. I touch a little on this in my classes.
There is a new class starting Feb 2, 2015 for due dates near the end of April, in May or June this class is waiting for you. Give your baby the best birth you can. Contact me for more information through a PM or a comment below.
