Dear Mother,

Did you experience a difficult and/or traumatic childbirth?

I want you to know that you are not alone; your body did not fail you; you are not crazy; and you are not a bad mom. You are most likely having a 'normal' response to a highly stressful, traumatic, and/or disheartening experience of birth. You can do something about these symptoms; you do not have to suppress them or live in shame. This online program is intended to compliment the guidebook and deepen your recovery after a difficult childbirth. Watch the video below to learn more ...

FAQ

  • Does this program replace therapy?

    Although this is a therapeutic program, meaning you will engage with your emotional and mental body, it is not a replacement for traditional therapy. It is however, a wonderful adjunct to any private therapy you might be already engaged with. Some therapist have used this program as a guide with their clients within the therapeutic space.

  • Do I need to be in private therapy to take the program?

    No, you do not need to be engaged in 1:1 therapy to begin this program. However, if you suspect that you are suffering from a mental illness, it is recommended that you reach out for appropriate support separate from this program.

  • What if I do not feel better after the program

    Healing is a journey and does require time. Sometimes we do not notice the small subtle changes that are taking place, like the gift of insight and awareness. If you engage with each module, and do the therapeutic activities, you will most likely experience a shift in mind, heart, and body.

  • How will I know if this program is right for me?

    This program is right for you if you have unresolved emotional and mental material that is connected to your birth experience. If you are not currently in crisis or live in an unsafe environment. And, if you are the type of person that is proactive and likes to take charge of your healing with DIY training and teachings.
