This gives my beating heart so much hope, so much peace. This, coupled with the upcoming Pregnant in America documentary and the film A Doula Story, is sending shockwaves of excitement through my ripe, pregnant body that repeat: “Perhaps our world is ready for a subtle shift towards the roots of sacred, transformative birth.

“Don’t you feel the day is coming

when we shake off the ancient
shake off the ancient chains of our tomb
we will all be born again
of the eternal womb”
- Cat Stevens
