I have had an amazing week. I got to work with four clients, and each experience was very different. One mama was still in the hospital when I got her capsules finished, so she could start taking them before she even got home. One client had her baby at the new birth center with a […]

I love a new year. It’s full of hope and optimism, fresh dreams and plans and goals. No failures or disappointments to bring negativity down on this brand new year. There is nothing like a clean slate to bring fresh perspective and purpose.I could have a whole list of resolutions, I suppose, but I’ll stick […]

2007 is going out in grand form. December saw a new record for hits on the PlacentaBenefits.info website, crossing over the 100,000 mark by several thousand!
I must say that 2007 was a great year. The court case with Anne Swanson and Sunrise Hospital was a major highlight - it brought rallies, media attention, spawned numerous […]

I just got this little gem in my inbox.
“Give to your enemy forgiveness.
To your opponent tolerance.
To your friend your heart.
To all men charity, for the hands that help are holier than lips that pray.
To every child a good example.

I see that my previous post is over a week old. I blame the holidays.
We went out of town to visit relatives, and were gone several days. The girls were delighted to go to Grandma’s House, and it is always nice to visit. However, it is a lot of work to get everyone packed and […]

We are in Redding, CA tonight. We have covered 750 miles since leaving Las Vegas Sunday morning. (Will now have Sheryl Crow singing Leaving Las Vegas in my head for the rest of the night.) Anyway, we hope to make it to Portland sometime tomorrow night.
Trip has been going well - the kids are doing […]

My beautiful daughter, whose birth was the impetus for everything I am doing now, turned 2 years old today, 9.21.07.
My pregnancy with Rayne was fabulous, and completely natural. I had an amazing natural waterbirth at home, and I wanted to have a natural postpartum experience as well. But I was worried how I would cope […]

I was so pleased to see a good number of breastfeeding supporters willing to stand out in the Las Vegas heat on Saturday, 9.8.07, in support of the harassed mother in Kentucky.
Apparently there were around 200 supporters at the main rally in Kentucky, and 100 supporters in Phoenix, AZ. Thirty cities participated nationwide. Awesome!

The Whole Family Faire, sponsored by Vegas Natural Families and Placenta Benefits.info (among others!), was a brilliant success. My daughters loved the Green Magician, and I had a wonderful time discussing the magic of placenta. I love doing these events, because I get to have interesting conversations with incredible women. I met so many wonderful […]

I just want to say thank you to everyone for your outpouring of support. It means a lot to know that there are so many amazing women who are willing to throw their collective power behind this issue.
Anne Swanson and I are meeting with a lawyer this afternoon to discuss our options. I will post […]
