Birth is a transformation.
Whether joyous or traumatic, birth transforms us all, both physically and emotionally, forever. There is no right or wrong way to feel about your birth, and likewise there is no right or wrong timeline for how or when your birth experience might affect you.
Since my own traumatic birth experience I have often wondered why it is that we are expected to process this life changing experience on our own, in the midst of postpartum life and the struggles and chaos that this brings, as we navigate matrescence and our own shifting identity.
This is why I created this space. A space that is dedicated to holding you as you navigate your birth experience and how it might be showing up for you in your day to day life.

Birth Processing
Every story is welcome in this space, whether joyous, traumatic or somewhere in between. During a birth processing session, I will hold space for you to share your birth experience in a safe and supportive space. Using a blend of trauma-informed listening and somatic and systemic therapies, I will invite you to reconnect with your body, to gently process your story and to meet with what it holds, at a pace that feels right for you.

About me
It’s important you feel safe with the person who holds you in processing your birth story. This is where you can find out more about who I am, the reason why I have chosen to do this work and the training I have done to ensure the support I offer is nurturing and effective.

Birth Preparation
We all arrive at pregnancy and birth with very different stories and experiences, and understanding how we might carry these into our labour and birth is so incredible valuable. During a birth preparation session with me, we will go beyond the usual birth education and birth plan and instead you will be invited to use birth mapping, alongside gentle somatic techniques, to truly explore your beliefs around birth, the choices you wish to make and the needs of your individual body and nervous system.
Trusting that someone can hold space for your story is important, which is why I offer a FREE 20 minute Discovery Call, so that you can see if we connect, or ask any questions you might have.
Simply drop me a message using the contact form, or feel free to DM me on Instagram, so we can find a time that works for you.
