MISSION

To raise the status of women's work, one birth at a time.

ABOUT ME

People who have known me for a short while will talk about my passion and the fact that I dance a lot. anywhere, anytime. Some people find this trait slightly amusing..others find it slightly annoying :-) but you are best just to groove along with me. I am also known for my compassion and great listening ability. Something that was said to me recently which I have had said before "I have never met a person with so much integrity". This is very important to me and guides my choices in life.

PHILOSOPHY

Its not mine but one stolen from Alice Walker....."resistance is the secret of Joy"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because one continent is not enough for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up in the back of a combi van and looking out the back window to try and figure out where we had "landed" while driving tired and lost through the darkness the night before... looked up to see the most picturesque hill with winding cobble stone roads and gorgeous old buildings. It looked like a make believe little village from the bottom of the hill. This was the first time I found Assisi in Italy and had the most amazing time here in this tiny town with its colourful monks and old world grace.

Teach, Learn, Share

Feminist therapy, feminist analysis of and just about anything to do with birth. DIY Placenta encapsulation, introduction to welding (mostly MIG and ARC + some oxy acetylene for bending and shaping).
