🧳This week has marked #birthtraumaawarenessweek2020 🦠 I am acutely aware that with #Covid19 lingering and affecting all of our lives, we need to be active in addressing the huge impact of birth trauma, particularly given the continued restrictions. #butnotmaternity 👩🏼‍🏫Birth trauma can affect anyone, at any type of birth. 🤰You matter, your feelings are valid, your psychological & mental pain and healing is JUST as important as physical wellbeing. 🤰🏾Different people can be affected in different ways and your experience is just how you say it is. I believe you. 🤝the first step to healing can happen in many ways; I provide a debriefing service , where I can actively listen and even help you decide your hospital notes. ✍️I can signpost you toward other professionals such as trauma focused therapists, legal advisors or medics depending on your specific needs. 🤳🏽I’ll be going live tomorrow and hopefully Saturday to talk about what birth trauma is, how it can affect you and where to get help . ❤️You are not alone, the journey from trauma, to a place of peace, health and wellness is possible. #birthtraumaawarenessweek #midwifelife #birthtrauma #birthdebriefing #maternitymatters

I provide a full supported birth debriefing service. I can help you go through your notes, if you have them, or help you begin your journey of healing.

Please get in touch at any stage if you would like to talk.

Your story matters, YOU matter.
