Your birth mattered.
And you deserve the time and space to process it.
Trauma-informed birth debriefing
Our culture does not honour the monumental event that is birth. And if your birth impacts you negatively, you're often invalidated and gaslit:
Every new parent should have the gift of a birth debrief.
The thing is, if no one has given you the space to process everything that happened during your birth, then it's not as simple as just 'being grateful' or focusing on your baby.
Your wellbeing matters. You have been through an event that has changed you on every level and will stay with you forever.
"Just focus on your baby."

You shouldn't be expected to 'move on' immediately. What you experienced is too important.

If you're finding yourself thinking about your birth a lot, I know how you feel.
My own birth impacted me deeply, but I felt that I shouldn't keep talking about it.
I've since had the honour of hearing the stories of countless births, and I've seen first hand the transformative nature of being truly heard and validated.
My story mattered.
And so does yours.
— Lara C.
“I wasn't sure I really needed to talk through my birth, but I kept thinking about it and was struggling to accept how it all went.
I'm so glad I took the time to have this discussion, this has felt like a massive weight off my shoulders.”

Your appointment is a safe space to be heard, and I work in a way that is sensitive to any trauma you're holding, from birth or elsewhere.
You shouldn't have to bottle everything up inside. Processing your birth can feel like taking a weight off.
However you feel about your birth is valid.
And however your birth went, no one can tell you how you should respond. If you experienced something as traumatic, that is real and true.
Your experience matters. It is a part of your story, of who you are.
Talking through it in a safe space can help you release emotions, find clarity, and move towards healing.
Even if you experienced your birth as positive and powerful, that's a story that deserves to be heard!

Too often, we don't allow ourselves the space to process our biggest experiences.
I waited over 2 years to debrief my own birth.
Give yourself the gift of debriefing yours.
