How do you feel about your birth story?
Whether a positive or negative experience, childbirth stays with a woman for the rest of her life and can have significant psychological, physical and social impacts. 

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum is one huge transition with many layers of mental, emotional and physical change. During the first precious weeks of the Fourth Trimester, you are healing from your pregnancy and birth journey while learning the ways of a newborn. It is our physiologic design to be deeply rested and resourced for an optimum recovery and cared for as a newborn mother deserves to be.

Parenthood (even if it is your second, third or fourth baby) is usually accompanied with newfound pressures and demands on top of physical recovery, impacts of birth trauma, or feelings of anxiety or depression. Mothers need to be supported to rest, to receive the right nourishment and to have the time and space held talk about and feel complete on their baby's entrance into this world. 

I ensure a strong foundation of mental, emotional and informative support, as well as offering guidance and referrals when needed such as helping you to access additional services for newborn feeding (breast/formula), sleep, nutrition and/or counselling. You will be supported with a foundational understanding of how our brain and body stores our significant experiences through our nervous system and what you can do to ensure you have the tools to regulate and support your nervous systems health and therefore your entire bodies wellbeing. 

Together, we will work to ensure you feel closure around your birth experience with discussion and somatic tools embodied to help you to understand, process and release your birth energy, giving you the confidence to move forward in your new chapter not just as a mother, but also as a family.
