Birth Debriefing: Honouring your story

Birth debriefing is a gentle, compassionate process that allows you to explore and make sense of your birth experience. My approach is somatic in style, meaning we focus not only on the story itself but also on how your body holds the experience. Trauma, stress, or unresolved emotions can linger in the body, and by reconnecting with these feelings, we create space for healing.

This work is not about reliving or analysing your birth but rather about holding space for you to express, release, and integrate what’s come up. It’s deeply personal, healing, and empowering.

Every woman’s reason for debriefing is unique. You may:

• Feel overwhelmed by unresolved emotions or confusion about your experience.

• Want to honour your birth story, even if it felt hard, disappointing, or traumatic.

• Seek closure or clarity so you can move forward with greater peace.

• Wish to explore how your birth has shaped your identity as a mother or future birthing person.

• Or perhaps your birth was an empowering, incredible experience, and you’re bursting to share it, but you feel hesitant or unsure how to celebrate it in a world where birth trauma is so common.

No matter where you are in your journey—whether days, months, or years have passed—your experience matters, and it’s never too late to revisit it with care and support.

Birth debriefing is for anyone who feels called to revisit their experience. Whether your birth was recent or many years ago, whether it was empowering, challenging, or traumatic—this space is here for you.
