Birth Trauma
Releasing, Healing and Processing Birth Trauma
Trauma is not necessarily caused by the events or experience – but HOW we processed the event or experience. Two different people can go through the same experience and come out of it with completely different feelings.
If you have suffered from a previous birth that was less than ideal, or an experience you feel was disappointing, confusing, scary, traumatic, horrific – or one that has created any other negative feeling – I’m here for you.
I am here to literally hold space for you and hear you.
In private sessions we can debrief, unpack and work through the feelings you have – regardless of what they are. Using a variety of therapy, counselling and hypnosis techniques each session is tailor made and personalised just for you.
In our sessions we aim to help you release the stuck feelings and emotions, to reset your nervous system, help you process what you experienced and if relevant (if you are now pregnant again), help you to prepare for a calm and relaxed birth.
For more information let’s have a chat in person – please get in touch with me via email and we will arrange a face-to face 20 minute free consultation either in person or on zoom.
Testimonials
“Thank you for all the trauma release work that you did with me.
It really paid off as our sweet baby boy was born in a hurry at 4.29am on Sunday 13th November. Early labour wasn’t as painful or difficult as I had remembered from my first son’s which may have contributed to some denial about actually being in labour until things got more intense!!
Our baby was very nearly born on the floor at home as things progressed very rapidly once established. Your rainbow of colours track and breathing techniques helped me relax as much as possible particularly before labour became established.
We got to the hospital just after 4am and baby was born 20 minutes later.
It was the most empowering experience of my life and I am in awe of my body which completely took over and entered me into a completely primal state of being, allowing me the healing VBAC I had longed for.
I only had two small grazes from birthing our 3.7kg baby and have recovered so much better this time. Arriving at hospital so close to him being born also meant I was able to avoid getting a canula and being monitored so I am so very pleased with how it all turned out. Our boy is calm and content and we are completely blissed out.”

From an intense traumatic induction round one, to a healing (unplanned) homebirth round 2. What a difference!
It ended up being the most Incredibly healing experience for me, coming through feeling empowered and like a superwoman! I’d always heard of women feeling so empowered and capable, but I truly didn’t believe it was possible for me! I thought they were unicorn birthing mamas, but turns out I had it in me too!
The trauma release work we did together allowed me to free some of the fear based thoughts I was having, and allowed me to approach this birth with a fresh mind, a clean slate so to speak! Of course there were a few bumpy moments, but my goodness me, my faith in the natural and amazing process of birth has been reinstated.
Thank you so much for helping me unlock my birthing power!

“Thanks again for all your support you have given us. I think I would be freaking out now if you didn’t prepare us .”

“I felt my birth debrief session with Helen to be really valuable. It was really helpful to be given some practical tools and additional techniques to reflect and move forward. Would highly recommend.”

Thank you so much Helen!
Absolutely loved our sessions, I honestly can’t quite get over how profound it was putting the pregnancy/birth phase to a close – still can’t verbalise it as I was watching it all play out in my mind but just so profound ???? I am enjoying using your tools/techniques when emotions come up, so thank you!
