Therapeutic Support and Birth Story Medicine
We don’t have to do it all alone. We were never meant to.” – Brene Brown
- Have you experienced or witnessed a difficult birth?
- Are you having trouble adjusting to parenthood and are wondering if your feelings are ‘normal’?
- Are you struggling with loss and need someone to talk to who won’t try to ‘fix it’?
- Do you and your partner feel disconnected since becoming parents and you need to learn some ways of finding your way back to each other?
If so, I can help. With my experience and training, I can guide you through a process of healing, and assist you in developing new ways to relate to yourself and your loved ones during this time of transition. Book an appointment now to start your journey toward peace and resilience.
Birth Story Medicine® is different – and it works.
Birth Story Medicine is an uplifting guided personal-growth process that brings insight, resolution, and healing after a difficult or disappointing birth. The unique model was developed by Pam England and is rooted in her personal journey of learning and healing after her unexpected, traumatic cesarean birth.
She has inspired and taught hundreds of women to skillfully and sensitively guide these sessions all over the world, and I am proud to call myself Birth Story Listener™ trained by Pam herself. In just a few sessions a profound difference is made, even for women who have “tried everything else.” It is never too soon, nor too late, to find new meaning and healing in your birth story.
You will be amazed at what can change in just one Birth Story listening session.
I couldn’t talk about the ‘what if’s’ of my child’s birth. It was just too painful and I knew I needed to work through those deep feelings of hurt, sadness, anger and jealousy before I could handle another pregnancy. We practiced Birth Story Listening and by the end of even my first session, I could say ‘cesarean’ without crying. I could touch my scar for the first time since my child’s birth. I was working on healing and it felt great."
