The Flexner Report marginalized midwifery & established the domination of obstetrics.
It also shut down all medical schools that were accessible to Black people.
Their misogyny exceeded their racism, but only just.
A mutually consultative relationship between midwifery & obstetrics is vital.
We can afford food, clean water, housing, health care, a living wage & education for everyone.
We just can't afford endless welfare for billionaires.
Serve the needy, not the greedy.

"I loved your After Pain-ease tea. I got them pretty bad even after first birth. So doubtlessly going to have them again. I will definitely be replenishing anything I need again!" - Stephanie
This tea & tincture eases those intense uterine cramps, as the uterus is involuting.
Omg I'm gonna spam you with videos now!!
My daughters both have partners, who are beautiful humans who just happen to have been born somewhere other than Australia.
This is what happened when they stood up for immigrants - in Australia, a NATION of immigrants.
And why N@zis attacked my socials.
Wow ... can we post ... videos here now??
If you want to know why neo-Nazis attacked my socials & deactivated my accounts & lost me 50K followers (and of course Meta are useless, do nothing except give me the runaround) - it's because I defended my daughters, who were assaulted when they counter-protested a racist anti-immigration march.
... and actual neo-Nazis attacking my socials (& no help from Meta), and losing 50K followers and having to start over from scratch ...
I persist.

"You changed everything in thought about myself as a woman and as a mother.
I can't thank you enough.
With love and gratitude,

" ... I carried these with me and focused on them when I felt unsure of myself.
I couldn't believe that I went into labour naturally, that I birthed my son without drugs, forceps, ventouse, being cut, being held down, being shouted at, being ashamed.
You changed my life."

" ... my fifth birth, the first birth that was not in a hospital.
The first birth that I wasn't afraid.
The first birth that I experienced without violence.
I was induced every other time.
Your tinctures, the words you share, the videos of other women's experiences ...

This is Jacqueline with her newborn baby boy, taken by her eldest daughter just after he was born.
Jacqueline messaged me:
"Hi Julie,
Just a quick message while bub is asleep.
I can't thank you enough for the gift of your tinctures.
I gave birth to my son almost 2 years ago now ....

Then, I will use my precious Violet infused oil in my Divine Bath Oils and my Violet Creme for sensitive skin.

What will I make with this pretty & potent herb? First, I will dampen the violets with a light spray of alcohol & let them dry out again. Then, I will add a beautiful light oil like Jojoba or grapeseed, and let the violets infuse through the oil for a little while.
