Experiencing a difficult or disappointing birth, or birth trauma, can affect a whole range of other areas of your life. It can affect the bonding with your baby, your relationship or your confidence as a mother, and is a seriously difficult way to start a parenting journey. Very often, if the baby is healthy, the mother is met with a ‘get over it’ or ‘at least your baby is well’ attitude. But the ‘birth of the mother’ is a different story to the birth of the baby, and might have left her guttered, agitated, confused or numb.
It could also be that nothing much happened at your birth, but certain parts keep running over and over in your head or maybe you are trying avoid thinking about it all together. Or maybe it is just something that really does not feel right.
It is possible though to move on from all these difficult feelings around a birth.
Birth Story Healing is a gentle and nurturing way to shift inside and start a process of healing. It can help you gain clarity and confidence, give new meaning and understanding to either make peace with your experience or maybe to be able to birth again with joy.
Birth Story Healing is for:
Mothers, who feel their birth story is in the way of happiness, well being, confidence and relationships.
Mothers, who are pregnant again and the memories from a previous birth are causing doubts, fears, and difficult questions.
Fathers, who are often very forgotten in terms of birth trauma, but can have their very own issues, which can unsettle relationships, marriage, and future pregnancies.
Birth workers in all forms and shapes, who can also experience birth trauma, which can affect their objectivity and ability to cope.
Birth Story Healing group session as part of the BaBs program is great way to meet other women in the same situation and get validated from people, who knows that birth matters. Individual sessions allow for more in depth work.
Private sessions: are held on Wednesdays at Yin Health, Kawana 5438 8387 or in my home at Marcus Beach at your convenience. Call Pernille on 0406 412 354

“Pernille offered me an opportunity to grow from my past birth experience and move into the next one with an open heart and confidence.
After a traumatic first birth experience I was unsure how to move into my next birth with strength and grace, but Pernille guided me safely to this place. I will have my 2nd baby sometime in the next few weeks and I am now ready.” Renee 2nd time Mum
