It's with a beautiful sense of accomplishment and completion and Krista and I wish to announce the closure of Head Over Heels Birth Education. After nearly 9 years of educating parents as they made their families, other parts of our lives were beginning to need more attention. We have loved this work and every person we've ever had in our classes. Please feel free to post pictures of your "Head Over Heels Baby or Family"!

Everyone needs their "village" not just new parents.

I cannot post this in too many places. Maternal death rates are a reflection of how we value women and our country is NOT doing a good job. California, however, is taking action. I hope that the whole country follows suit. https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/6/29/15830970/women-health-care-maternal-mortality-rate

The maternal mortality rate in the state is a third of the American average. Here's why.
