THE OXYTOCIN ARMY · OUR STORIES

Share your story.

We’re writing a book. Written by women who work with women, for women who work with women.

The beautiful. The difficult. The raw. The things nobody talks about. The lessons no textbook could ever teach. Your story could be the one another birth worker needs to read.

The small print, with love This is my own story and my own words. I’ve removed anything that could identify a client or family, or I have their permission to share. I’m happy for my story to be lightly edited for length and clarity. I’ll be shown any changes before it’s published. I understand not every story can be included in the book, and that sharing doesn’t guarantee publication. I’m happy to be contacted about my story and the book.
