BIRTH STORY ALCHEMY
Services
-
I offer a gentle space to process and integrate your birth experience, however it unfolded.
This may be for you if:
your birth experience still feels unresolved, whether it was joyful, painful, complex, or difficult to put into words
you want space to reflect on and integrate your birth experience
your birth experience felt distressing or traumatic
you had a positive birth experience but have not found space to fully share or honour it
you have never had your whole birth story listened to without comparison, opinion, or judgement
you feel your birth experience has affected your sense of self, your experience of motherhood, or your relationship with your child
This may not be for you if:
you are looking for a medical birth debrief
you are currently experiencing severe or acute mental health difficulties, such as active suicidal thoughts or psychosis
you need urgent mental health or crisis support
Session structure
Sessions are held online and last 60-90 minutes. Many women find that 2-4 sessions is enough, though individual needs vary and some may benefit from additional sessions or other professional support.
Scope of practice
This service is offered within my scope of practice as an NCH-registered hypnotherapist and is designed to support women in processing and integrating their birth experience. It is not a substitute for medical care, psychiatric care, specialist perinatal mental health support, or crisis support. Suitability is considered on an individual basis, and referral to other services will be offered where appropriate.

About
My initiation into motherhood led me to this work. I have experienced the deep healing that comes from tending to the wound of a traumatic birth and the incredible growth that can follow. I have also experienced the life-altering effects of an empowered birth and the deep joy that can come from feeling seen in that experience.
Learning that it is never too late to heal was a tremendous relief to me, and I am constantly astounded by the way in which tending to our own healing can ripple out to heal our children, too.
I am a Mother to two young sons and a fully qualified Cognitive Hypnotherapist and INNATE Traditions Postpartum Care Provider, based in Southeast London.
