Who is a yoga instructor and can teach private lessons for someone in recovery from injuries and/or surgery?

Dear Birth Cottage Families,
To say it has been a difficult year and a half would be a gross understatement. First a life-altering car accident coming to the center one night followed by my husband's cancer diagnosis and ultimate passing recently. This time of upheaval has been unparalleled.

To my family and front-end staff along with the community midwives who stood by my side day and night, I owe my life to you. To the families who sent cards, flowers, gifts of love, and especially food, there will never be enough gratitude in the world. I never got a chance to send a card to each person individually but know that I appreciated every single thought and gesture to my very soul. Your prayers and kind thoughts got me through the most difficult time of my life and I am forever grateful.

As I return to work this week full time, I am ready to embrace the next chapter of life without my dear sweet life partner. He helped me build my birth centers from my visions and make them realities. Our children carry on his work along with close friends who have taken on the responsibilities of facility management and development. I look forward to seeing all of you in person once again.

One thing is for sure- babies will continue being born. And we stand committed to safe, affordable, accessible, and compassionate midwifery care in our own communities. Much love to you all,
Adrian

NH Midwives and midwifery in NH is at risk for being dismantled. It has been proposed that the NH Midwifery Council, our state's licensing and regulatory board, be consolidated under a larger body and lose it's regulatory power completely. It would be ONLY an advisory board.

I adamantly oppose this action.

If you agree with me, and wish for midwifery to remain autonomous and accessible in NH, please consider donating so we can retain a professional lobbying group to act on our behalf for the year. It's VITAL to our success.

Any little bit helps. Please. Just $5 or 10 from a handful of people would go a long way. And it's tax deductible.

Fundraising Effort | NH Midwives Associa The Association is seeking to raise $5000.00 by October 1st to retain The Dupont Group for the next 12 months to represent and advocate for important midwife priorities with the NH legislature and state agencies.  We hope you will contribute and reach out to your clients and friends to help as well...
