Because Every Birth Story Deserves to Be Heard

Have you experienced or witnessed a birth with traumatic or unexpected events?

Do you find yourself replaying the same moments from your birth? Stirring up to feeling of regret, sadness or confusion

Perhaps your birth went according to the “plan”, but you are still stunned or disappointed by it- weeks, months or even years later?

ALL OF THESE FEELINGS ARE NORMAL 

Every birth experience is unique, and so is the way we process it. Whether the birth went according to plan or was filled with unexpected turns, the story you carry can shape how you feel about yourself, your body, and your journey into parenthood. 

These sessions are not about judging what happened, but about honoring your voice, validating your feelings, and helping you find a sense of peace.

Healing your birth experience helps you bond with your baby

The experience of childbirth is powerful, raw, intense and an transformative experience . The adjustment period with a new baby can be hard, leaving little time to rest and process the birth experience. For many parents, the painful emotions tied to their birth can linger for months or even years after the baby has arrived.
This often leaves parents feeling traumatized or wrestling with unresolved feelings of sadness, disappointment, inadequacy, or confusion. These unresolved feelings and trauma can have an huge impact on how a birthing person bonds with their baby, views subsequence births, navigates the world around them.
We want to help you heal.
