Travelling, speaking - you name it! Thanks for bearing with me as I answer the call to go out into the community and share the message, the truth about birth in America, the fact that we are making a difference and that the time for change is RIGHT NOW. I have outlined some of my commitments below; know that I appreciate your support and understanding of my need to be gone from the center from time to time. My commitment to your best birth experience has not changed (nor will it) and Robyn and The Birth Place staff continue to provide the ultimate midwifery care - The JJ Way™.

The Motherbaby International Film Festival is a traveling festival dedicated to showing images of pregnancy, birth and current healthcare issues. MIFF will touch and inspire while calling for cultural transformation. This Festival is hosted by Family Wisdom Conference – Traverse City, MI and Sage Femme - Tiburon, CA. Guest appearances such as Ricky Lake and Suzanne Arms, panelists, lively audiences and filmmakers all contribute to make a unique experience. This is an opportunity to beckon change, create a cultural shift in the way that women and children are currently being treated and advised in times of pregnancy, birth and parenting.
