1:1 Childbirth Trauma Therapy for Mothers
You've tried to "move on" after what happened during birth.
But the weight still lingers.
You try to stay busy — caring for your baby, going through the motions, doing what’s expected.
You tell yourself, this is just what motherhood is supposed to feel like.
But before long...
You’re overwhelmed and triggered by — a drive near the hospital, a baby crying, even your own reflection.
You avoid talking about it, even with those closest to you.
You wonder if you're just too sensitive... or if you're supposed to be over it by now.
You’re not broken.
You’re not failing.
You’re living with birth trauma — and you deserve support that truly sees you.
The healing you need isn’t about “moving on.”
It’s about making space for what you’ve been through — and learning how to feel safe again, in your body and your life.
It's not about knowing that you should feel better.
It's about actually feeling safe in your body again consistently.
Advice from others tells you to “just be grateful.”
Social media shows highlight reels of celebratory birth stories.
Even doctors and your partner says, “The baby’s healthy that’s what matters.”
But none of that reaches the real reason you still feel on edge, numb, or like you’re barely holding it together.
Your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.
Real healing doesn’t start with forcing yourself to “move on.”
It starts with understanding what trauma has done to your mind, body, and sense of self.
Even the most supportive friends, partner, or positive mindset can’t override what your body remembers.
When trauma is still living in your system, moving forward isn’t about pretending you’re okay, it’s about making sense of what happened, so it doesn’t control your life now.
What We’ll Work on Together
You may have had hopes and dreams for your birth that were shattered. We’ll gently work through those losses, whether it's grieving the experience you didn’t have, the way you were treated, or what your body went through.
Grief Support for Childbirth Trauma
After a traumatic experience, it’s common to feel on edge, angry, numb, or overwhelmed by seemingly small reminders of the birth. This is called being outside your "window of tolerance." I’ll help you understand your nervous system’s response and teach you tools to stay grounded and emotionally balanced, so you can start feeling like yourself again.
Understanding Your Emotional Reactions
You might be blaming yourself for how you acted during childbirth, thinking “I should have spoken up” or “Why didn’t I do more?” We’ll explore these thoughts together. In our work, we shift the focus from blame to understanding, asking not “What’s wrong with me?” but “What happened to me?”
Making Sense of Your Trauma Response
Rediscovering Yourself After Birth
Who are you now, after becoming a mother and surviving this trauma? Using a powerful therapy model called NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model), we’ll explore how this experience has shaped you, and help you reconnect with parts of yourself you may have had to shut down just to cope.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to gently process trauma and reduce emotional pain
NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) to explore reconnecting with all parts of you.

A safe space where your birth story matters — without feeling minimized, judged, or silenced.
