PROCESSING
EXAMINING OUR INNER NARRATIVES
THROUGH THE LENS OF SELF-COMPASSION.
We use deep-listening and guided-visualization to help people release the sticky memories that traumatic birth experiences can leave behind. While birth trauma can definitely look like emergency procedures and stays in the NICU, it can also look like the loss of the birth experience you had been hoping for. It might look like feeling unsupported, unseen, and unheard during one of the most important moments of your life.
Birth story processing provides the space and empathy needed to
work through that trauma and move toward peace and acceptance.

WHAT WE DO
-
WE HOLD SPACE
The birth of a child is one of the most formative experiences in a person's life. When that experience takes a turn for the unexpected, many people can be left with emotional trauma that sticks around for years. Birth Story Processing uses deep-listening and compassion to gently guide people along the path of healing.

WE SPARK SHIFTS
Each Birth Story Processing session lasts 60-75 minutes, and can be conducted virtually, from the comfort of your own home. We will use a combination of visualization and storytelling to allow your intuition the space it needs to metabolize your experience. The process is structured such that it typically only takes one session to foster healing and spark a perspective shift. These sessions do require childcare so that you may focus more deeply on your healing journey.

WE HELP YOU HEAL
We believe that when you heal yourself, you create a ripple effect that can lead to collective healing. Anyone who has undergone a traumatic birth can benefit from the power of deep-listening; including: birthing people, partners of birthing people, and birth workers / providers. We believe that all humans deserve to heal, and proudly welcome the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as folks from all racial, ethnic, religious and neurodiverse backgrounds.
