“Women of all ages will find these birth accounts moving and fascinating. The midwives are the models of courage and skill. ~Elizabeth Davis author of Heart and Hands: A Midwife’s Guide
Becka is one of seven amazing midwives interviewed for this book. She and the other midwives tell remarkable stories about birthing and the call to midwifery.
“…Only in this book can you read about women giving birth NATURALLY, some in mountain homes with no electricity, running water, or flushing toilets! Simply so their babies could have a decent birth outside of the controlling hospital setting. Only in this book can you hear stories such as the one of a woman delivering her baby in her V.W. bug…how awesome. True age-old midwifery is shown in this book and is a must-read to see all aspects of giving birth.” Amazon Books
From Blessingway’s Students
“I loved the style of your teaching. It is inclusive, feminine, and informative. I think everyone had a good time, I know that I did. It felt so good to sit in a circle with another sorority sister of birth. We are lucky to have you teaching. For me, hearing someone teach “from the garden and from the spirit” so to speak, is so nurturing. Having learned Chinese herbs in a totally academic setting was so difficult, abstract, and objective. I would rather learn 20 herbs thoroughly than 300 superficially.”
~Raven Lang, January 2008
“Becka, I took one of your workshops and I wanted to let everyone know what a practical teacher you are. You know so many things about plants and how to use them and you show how simple it really is. I know there is a lot to learn but you make it easy to remember. You showed us how to make medicine right out of our kitchens.

I thought it was so much more complicated. Thank YOU! I have been able to ward off my kids getting sick all the time from pre-school and keep my family healthy from some of the recipes you shared with us. Great workshop (Medicine Making).” ~ Kim McKinney, Northern California Women’s Herbal Symposium“Blessingway, that calendula cream we made in class really does work! It has completely healed my baby’s diaper rash!! Thank you so much! I saved so much money making my own, and like you said, it is so easy! I will definitely plan to take another of your classes. Maybe with my kids this time!” ~ Jeannie Purnum, California School of Herbal Studies
“In my 70+ years on the planet, I never thought I’d learn anything about herbs, having a “black thumb”! I thought it was too complicated to understand. After taking your class at Asilomar I was astonished to realize how very easy it is, just like making soup! In addition, the salve and powder I purchased from you have saved me from infections that had plagued me for years. Thank you so much for the gentle care, you have had a natural, effective way of teaching. ~ CJ Shafer, Asilomar, Pacific Grove
