Philosophy
Why would an engineer, ex-UN staff, humanitarian worker decide to dedicate themselves to birth? I saw what was missing and I want to look for it. I believe in exploring the adjacent possibilities that emerge when we are in relationship with our life supporting systems. I explore transformation and resilience, and look for leverage points of change.
Fascinated by the relationship between the individual and the systemic, I believe that society’s attitude towards birth mirrors our relationship towards earth's systems. What can we tap into to activate regenerative change?
