Statement

I have always been fascinated by childbirth and through my profession as a midwife, I have come to gain a unique insight and understanding of that essential moment, when it all begins. I wish to share that moment – as I see it. I strive to create a window into a world that is hidden and mysterious, yet at the same time natural and an inevitable part of life. An ancient tale that is raw, powerful and wondrous.
