Appreciations

I would like to thank my mother, Lisa Law, for giving birth to her four children naturally and at home during a time when there were almost no books on the subject and very few were doing this on their own. And to my father, Tom Law, for being the "midwife" at our births. They are both brave and deeply connected to their inner wisdom, and have imbued their children with this same strength.

I would also like to thank my second mother Caroline who has also always been there to support and encourage me on my path, and to my god mother Jahanara for opening her heart and home to me at 16 and showing me so much love.

My husband and children have, of course, been an endless support and inspiration, as well as my divine spiritual teachers, Srila Atulananda Acarya, Srila Paramadvaiti Maharaj and Srila Sadhu Maharaj.

Great appreciation goes out to my dear midwifery teacher, Shari Daniels, for instructing so many of us with such strength and determination, for organizing her whole school and clinic and for continuing fearlessly on her path; to all my fellow midwifery colleagues with whom I walked the journey, and to my newest guides and friends in the midwifery realm including Whapio Diane Pilgrim, Isabel Cornejo Medina, Antonieta Urquizo, Leonie Lange and Dra. Venny Caceres.
