Seven things about me:
1. I am adopted and found my birthmother twenty some years ago.
2. I have lived on islands and by the sea for much of my life and love to scuba dive, the underwater world fascinates and soothes me.
3. I am a gypsy at heart. (Maybe we are gypsy at heart sisters Sally?) I've lived all over the planet and love to explore and meet people and taste the food they eat and see how they birth babies.
4. I gave birth to one child at 44 weeks and another at 32 weeks and did kangaroo care.
5. I was a philosophy major in college until I discovered Wome's Studies, then I went on to become a Midwife.
6. I love to cook and grow food, especially for people I love.
7. I love San Francisco and my all time favorite job was working at Cafe Liliane, it was a magical time, full of warmth and delicious too..
8. I like to push limits...I am adding one.... okay two....I have this vision of a birth and breakfast sort of place, where CNMs and CPMs work together and families come to give birth and be nourished, complete with gardens and farm animals and families
