Quote of the Day

People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you make them feel. -Bonnie Wasmund

Quote of the Day

Another quote... I liked this. It made me think of Open Arms for sure!

“Although the popularly desired outcome is ‘Healthy mother, healthy baby,’ I think there is room in that equation for ‘Happy, non-traumatized, empowered and elated mother and baby.’” –Midwifery Today, Winter 2008

Quote of the Day

"You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think." - A. A. Milne

Quote for the Day

"If we hope to create a non-violent world where respect and kindness replace fear and hatred, we must begin with how we treat each other at the beginning of life. For that is where our deepest patterns are set. From these roots grow fear and alienation - or love and trust."

-Suzanne Arms

Some client quotes

Got word of these client quotes today and thought I'd share!

"I'm calling to say thank you for all your help. I have had two births - one bad experience with a c-section and one good experience having a VBAC, (Open Arms) doula and midwives."

"The referral from you (Open Arms) to Birth and Beyond for breastfeeding help was awesome and I am breastfeeding successfully with everyone's support."

"Because of the support my (Open Arms) doula gave me, I have decided to take the Labor Support Course to become a doula myself!"

Fabulous - one client with a happy memory of her birth, one successfully breastfeeding after a referral and one woman in a new profession! Exciting news, and all in a day's work at Open Arms!
