Earth mother | Bangkok Post: feature

cover story

When she was young, Fiona Tarini Graham could have been called a Child of the Wind - soft, gusty, unpredictable, tempestuous, uncontrollable... Today she is the Earth Mother - grounded, maternal, compassionate, soothing, healing, life-giving...

This last term is not to be taken lightly, for Fiona is, in fact, a trained midwife, a passionate advocate of Free Birth, a movement for natural childbirth that spearheads her cultural activism campaigns for which she has dedicated most of her life.

And after a long absence, Fiona is back in town, and the Thai culture scene should brace itself for some major happenings on the horizon.
