Postpartum Reflection Session

 

“How was your birth? Tell me all about it!”

As a new mom, you have probably been asked to recount the details of your recent delivery to family, friends, and sometimes even curious strangers. It makes sense if you have conflicting feelings about sharing all the details of your birth story. It can be both ecstatic and painfully difficult.

1 in 4 women describe their labor/delivery as traumatic. That is a lot of emotional weight to carry around, while also holding a newborn and straining to keep a grip on your identity. Sharing our stories can provide the opportunity to be heard, acknowledged, and validated. However, sharing with those who can’t fully understand the scope and weight, gravity, pain and beauty of what you endured can feel dishonoring.

Now imagine sharing your story with someone who really GETS IT—someone who fully understands all your nitty-gritty details, and can help you process, reconcile and even HEAL some of the areas that feel unnerving or disappointing.

As an experienced birth doula, I repeatedly have a front row seat to the joys and challenges of labor. I get to be in the thick of it all, alongside so many wonderful families. So, when you share with me, I deeply resonate with your experience and sympathize with your difficulties. I help you process the nuanced details and gain grateful perspective.

I would love to hear–truly hear–your birth story!
