This is a beautiful gift for any new mama, and is suitable from 2 weeks postpartum to many years later.

Birth Story Healing

$80

Would like to gain new perspectives into your birth story? Birth is one of life’s most profound and powerful events, and an unexpected, challenging or difficult birth can evoke strong memories and a range of emotions which can linger for years, even lifetimes, manifesting in different ways.

Birth Story Healing is a gentle, guided process that helps the storyteller (you) find insight, resolution, and new meanings and bring healing to a disappointing or ‘sticky’ birth experience. The process enables the storyteller to move from shame, blame, or guilt, to actively finding new solutions, and to reclaim compassion for herself, and everyone touched by birth.

If you are motivated to find new meaning where you’ve been feeling ‘stuck’, to move towards a desired change and through vulnerability, then please contact me for a  Birth Story Healing session.
