I tried acupuncture, the patch, and hypnosis, but found that I needed to do it alone - when the time was right for me.

I associate wisdom and grace with age.

If Mom is healthy, then her child is more likely to thrive, more likely to have a better quality of life and, ultimately, better able to provide for his or herself.

I sincerely feel that beauty largely comes from within.

I think each woman has her own relationship to beauty.

You know, all these sentiments about beauty coming from within, they've always resonated when I've read them, but it takes a bit of living to truly appreciate them. To realise we are so much more than our experiences, that we are who we are because of the lessons we've learnt, now that's what true 'beauty' is for me.

When you are balanced and when you listen and attend to the needs of your body, mind, and spirit, your natural beauty comes out.

Sacred spaces can be created in any environment.

As a Global Maternal Health Advocate, I get to travel the world quite a bit, meeting individuals and visiting programs with tremendous potential and incredible vision to improve the quality of life for countless others.

Every Mother Counts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother. We inform, engage, and mobilize audiences to take action and raise funds that support maternal health programs around the world.

America's health care system is the most complicated and expensive in the world.

In the world of maternal health, cell phone technology is being used to provide prenatal care, linking pregnant women to health care providers when they can't otherwise reach healthcare facilities.

Health is your greatest wealth, so experiencing a marathon and seeing what you're capable of is really special.

I've always eaten well and have a balanced diet.

People always think that if you eat anything as a model, it's amazing. I used to tease them and say, you know I'm going to throw up afterwards.

The seated lotus postures are an amazing way to go into meditation, or simply just to take a moment to ground oneself.

So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma.

I usually run in the morning and like to have something substantial but light to eat before and after. My go-to choices are either a banana with almond butter or a smoothie.
