Therapies & Workshops For Healing

For Professionals

Attending births can bring up many feelings that may catch us off guard and impact us in our daily lives, including disrupting our sleep. Difficult, complicated or poor outcome births can often leave us feeling bad, bring up uncomfortable feelings, and make it difficult going to or being at births. One may feel disturbing sensations or thoughts before, during or after a birth. It’s important that we care for ourselves, so we can care for our clients. Consider getting some support to help your nervous system makes sense of why this is happening and how to move through it. Here are some resources I, and other birth professionals, have found helpful. Feel free to pass them on.
