The perinatal period, which includes pregnancy and postpartum, is an enormously transitional time. It not only pushes you to discover your new role as a parent but also includes big changes in your body, relationships, and way of life. Many women experience feelings of anxiety and overwhelm around pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and becoming a parent.
The postpartum period brings with it new stressors including a lack of sleep, recovery from birth, and adjustment to caring for an infant. In addition, many women find that this period brings with it strong feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, and anger.
Birth Counselling & Birth Trauma Healing:
I also offer Birth Counselling to help you prepare for your birth, release feelings of fear and connect with the wisdom of your body and Birth Trauma Healing to help you process your birth and integrate your birth story.
My Approach:
Emotional support & Coping Tools: Together we will explore and process mental and emotional challenges during pregnancy and postpartum, including feelings of stress, overwhelm, sadness, anger, isolation, shame and guilt. There are a wide variety of tools and skills to discover for managing stress, feeling more connected to yourself, your partner, and your baby, and feeling more comfortable in your new role as a parent.
Womb Energy Healing: If desired, energy healing can be used to create a deep state of relaxation, to provide an opportunity to connect with baby, and to provide holistic healing support for pregnancy symptoms. During postpartum, we can use womb energy healing to reconnect with the womb space and clear energetic blocks from the birth.
