Philosphy: Your birth should go your way. I don’t believe there is any one way to have a baby and I won’t try to convince you that your labor needs to be anything other than what you want it to be. You do you.

Some favorites of mine: black licorice candy, stick shift cars, period costume dramas, the San Fransisco Giants, scotch, smiley babies, and big pots of tea.
