Star Newland, Dolphin Researcher

Dolphin researcher and community activist Star Newland has passed away at 65, according to her son Tiger Stanley and her friend and business partner Michael Hyson. Star, who also called herself Paradise Newland, advocated to change or “sculpt” society’s language, to focus on clarity. “Language sculpting,” she said, “was the creation of coherent realities through the conscious use of language,” Michael explained. Through her efforts, “Say yes to Domestic Harmony” stickers are adhered to the bumpers of all County of Hawaii vehicles, including Hele-On buses and marked police vehicles and are expected to adhere on U.S. Navy ships, according to Michael. Star was also involved in the natural birthing movement. Specifically, she advocated for gentle birth, water birth, and dolphin attended birth. She was such an advocate for pre-birth dolphin contact, so much so that at one time she had to defend herself against Child Protective Services, seeking to take her child away from her for choosing to give birth on a beach where dolphins could be present.

Supporting prenatal development through infancy:
Healthy, functional, non-violent, drug-free American children and citizenry depends upon healthy, gentle conception, gestation, labor, birth, and infancy.

Moms Babies Partners:
Moms Owning Maternal Safety
Men Ordering Maternal Safety
Medicine Offering Maternal Safety
Midwives Optimizing Maternal Safety

Moms Owning Maternal Safety
Women claim their right, their choice, and their responsibility for their body and their baby’s birth from pre-conception through infancy.

Men Ordering Maternal Safety
Men are the rightful protectors of their partner and child, and they demand to be supporter and protector of their baby, their partner and her decisions in birthing their baby.

Medicine Offering Maternal Safety

Doctors no longer control women’s choice over her body, and so, nor are they disproportionately held responsible for the outcomes of birth. Free of litigation fear and they are able to focus on providing maternity care that is evidenced-based. They attend high-risk pregnancies and births.

Midwifes Optimizing Maternal Safety
Midwives are the bridge between natural, physiological ways and new technology, between women and medicine; and they are the protector of women’s bodies and the physiological process of natural birth. They attend and protect birth of healthy women and babies.
