"Hoorah for Sarah Buckley! Her strong, authoritative voice is sorely needed…"

Ina May Gaskin, midwife and author

"Sarah Buckley is precious, because she is bilingual. She can speak the language of a mother who gave birth to her four children at home. She can also speak like a medical doctor. By intermingling the language of the heart and the scientific language she is driving the history of childbirth towards a radical and inspiring new direction."

Michel Odent MD, author and natural birth pioneer
