Tweetable Quotes:
"Let's bring back the art of giving birth. This doesn't have to be the stale thing that we do anywhere, whether it's in an establishment that we feel comfortable in or in our own home. It can be a gorgeous, beautiful representation of our deepest intents, our deepest desires, our deepest gifts, and our deepest creative expressions." - Lindsey Marie
"And what I think and what I feel very, very strongly about is that it all comes back to the mind and our relationship to it. And our tolerance for thoughts and our ability to really feel like we are the master of our mind, or at least we are co-creating in a way that feels like we're really thriving." - Lindsey Marie
"Birth is an opportunity to expand and deepen your connection to your body, your baby, and your partner. But too often, without preparation, people experience the opposite and miss the magic that birth offers." - Lindsey Marie
