MomsOnTop founder Gail Janicola believes that giving birth is the most uniquely personal experience of a woman’s life. No woman should be coerced into having her baby in a particular way, based on anyone else’s ideas and expecatitions—vaginally or surgically, naturally or medicated. What she believes is that every woman deserves an education and has a right to know ALL of her options so that she may have the ability to partner with her caregivers in making the informed choices that suit her and her individual needs and desires best. Passion and compassion, and maintaining an open mind and nonjudgmental philosophy, are Gail’s most compelling qualifications because it’s these qualities that create deep and honest connections with everyone she meets and works with.
