“What did it mean to me to choose to birth my baby at home?

Simply, homebirth gave me something I did not even realize had been taken away.

A gift beyond imagining, as a woman, as a mother, as a human being. It is an awesome gift in every respect; to the whole family, mending one mother at a time all the losses humanity suffers. A deep healing connection in a culture bent on disconnecting us from our souls, ourselves and each other. That is the gift home birth was to me and my family.”
