Tweetable Quotes:
“[In] the hospital, that recovery room is atrocious…There's no reason any person should ever be in a gray and dingy space. When they [mothers] are recovering from birth, that needs to be a joyful, colorful, beautiful, and peaceful oasis.” - Sokhna Heathyre Mabin
“ I needed to talk about my experience. I needed to share with people that I was hurt for a long time. To not recognize your baby, to not be given a moment to see him or see her… And now we're bonding. Time together is of the essence.” - Sokhna Heathyre Mabin
“And that [natural] birth made me connect. I connected to all things, I connected naturally that everybody came from a mother, that this is the process, that life is this process, it's designed. Sometimes, the design may not work, the alignment may not be there and there are methods that will save our lives, but the method, the process is not to be interrupted. It's to be supported and adjusted.” - Sokhna Heathyre Mabin
“Trust the process. If all the things are in alignment, if you've done all of your investigating yourself, find those ways because every baby in every birth is different.” - Sokhna Heathyre Mabin
