“The most common and blatant example of the denial of pain about a traumatic birth is the phrase, “What is important is that your baby is beautiful and healthy. That is what matters. Put what happened behind you.”

The preconception, prenatal, birth and postpartum period are some of the most life changing times in a person’s life, and yet it is often minimized. The grief to be found in infertility or miscarriage, the profound physical changes, the events of the birth and challenges of the postpartum: these are major event in life! Often the space to tell your story can be hard to find, and perhaps too the words to express all your emotions. As a midwife and Somatic Experiencing practioner, it allows for an approach to healing sessions with a midwife’s compassion.
