I'm a mother of three, a doula, childbirth educator, and medical anthropologist. I teach about the experiences of pregnancy, labor, birth, and parenting across the world, especially in Russia, Canada, Brazil, and the United States. I think all new parents need our support to do this incredible work of raising our Future.

Quotes by Cynthia Gabriel (?)

“Your brain has only a tiny thread of a connection to the outside world. If the connection is full of fear, your pain will get out of control. If your connection to the real world is full of calm reassurance, you can go about your task of letting go.”
― Cynthia Gabriel, Natural Hospital Birth: The Best of Both Worlds

“Women who are upset about their birth experiences but who did not write birth plans often say, "If only I had known" or "If only I had prepared." In contrast, mothers who prepare for a natural birth and write birth plans but end up with necessary interventions do not have to blame themselves for lack of preparation. They are free to mourn without self-recrimination.”

“We live in a culture that values logic and rationality. Bodily experiences can make us uncomfortable. We have built elaborate walls between our minds and our bodies.”
