Dear Friends:

Intention, what is in one's heart, is what truly matters when doing any sort
of counseling or health consulting work.

Jack Newman, Michel Odent, Lennart Righard, Marsden Wagner, Jay Gordon,
Frank Nice, James Akre, James Grant, Thomas Hale, Michael Rosenthal (and
lord knows how many other men) are guiding lights in the arena of birth and
breastfeeding. I have to honor a local OB, the late Dr. Gandhi Nelson from
Sri Lanka, who taught me more about natural birth than many midwives.

Some of the best bf helpers are women that either failed at breastfeeding or
never did it; they are determined that no other woman or baby should suffer.

In days gone by, one was called to be a healer. There was a spiritual
component. People didn't go into the work to earn money and gain power. They
were supported by their communities and got all they needed to live; this is
still true in some parts of the world.

The industrial revolution has led to the value of currency over commitment;
we are all suffering as a result. The people we revere  are those who are
heart-centered in their work. Heart-centered work is not gender specific.
One's life experience can awaken the heart but this is not essential.

warmly,
Nikki Lee RN, BSN, Mother of 2, MS, IBCLC, CCE, CIMI
