Cesarean Birth Story Debrief
In a Birth Story Debrief Session, we focus on what happened, why it hurts, and what you can do to take back your power and your peace.
Our live session will be held on Zoom for 90-minutes.
For these sessions, I will use an intentionally-paced, trauma-informed process to help you stay resourced and avoid getting flooded as we explore your birth experience.
In addition to working at a pace that supports your nervous system, I will offer witnessing, mirroring, and validation.
Wherever possible, and with your permission, I will also offer evidence-based insights to help you understand the medical interventions taken, and their impact.
Finally, I will introduce some practices to help create repair - with yourself, with your baby, with your spouse, with your care team / community…wherever repair needs to be made.
And I will make recommendations for other types of support that could benefit you.
After the session, you will receive a summary of my observations and recommendations in written form. This will help guide your continued healing journey.
Recommended pre-work: Before we meet, I’ll invite you to complete a birth story mapping activity on your own time. This process takes about 3 hours to complete. Will will schedule your session at least 2 weeks out so you have enough time to complete the pre-work activity without feeling rushed.
Work with me to catalyze your healing process.

Continued Care Packages
Many clients choose to book the Birth Story Debrief as a package with two or three additional 60 or 90-minute follow-up sessions.
These additional sessions are scheduled over the course of 3-5 months, allowing me to provide you with continued care through your healing process, and the space to go deeper with issues you may be struggling with.
Some example topics include: partner trauma, partner conflict/tension around the birth experience, scar and body recovery, breastfeeding, and planning future pregnancy / birth or VBAC Prep.
If you wish to reserve multiple sessions by making one up front payment, I am happy to structure a multi-session package with a discounted hourly rate. Inquire for details.
