Being with women in birth we re-learn how to BE, without trying to control what is happening. Just like the birthing mama, our bodies know what to do, and it’s where our intuition lives.

I, too, do not actually get into the birthing room very often (I attend a grand total of three women last year!), so a huge chunk of what I do is advocacy work and just listening to women. More listen, less talk. More intuition, less expertise!
