When a child is born, new parents are too

Birth Story Listening

What happened to you matters – you are living your birth story

Are you on a healing journey and exploring (or tucking away) memories from your labor, birth, or postpartum?

Would you rather not talk about all or parts of your labor, birth, or postpartum?               Do you find yourself avoiding hearing other birth stories?

Birth Story Listening Birthing From Within Birth Story Medicine

Do you have or had conflicting feelings about your birth (I felt relieved, happy and resentful)?

Did you have a great birth but yet wondering about some aspects of it? Or traumatic experience?

I am humbled about the courage of the mothers and birth professionals that reach out and I am honored you would invite me to join your journey.

Love Notes

Dear Giedre,

I dreamt about our work last night. I feel lighter and more positive in general and in my interaction with my husband this morning. I am aware of the shift in the messages I am feeding myself.

Powerful work. Thank you!

Being able to let go can be very liberating, especially when it comes to something as meaningful as processing our birth stories.The experience of sharing my son’s birth story with Giedre was truly cathartic. Gently and in a non-prying nature, she lead me back to the time of my son’s birth, allowing to visit and explore the places of emotional “hang-ups” that I needed to work through. Surprisingly, just going through the sequence of events of my son’s birth and verbalizing the feelings of frustration and disappointment allowed an opportunity to let go of at least some of those feelings. Giedre’s endearing imagary of me as a mama Bear, her non-judgmental guidance and leading questions kept taking me back to what she had probably identified as my biggest area of regret. Not surprisingly, giving those feelings a name brought on the tears in me which I felt safe to show. Giedre helped me to not only accept what had happened [instead of regretting what I could not change], but to also recognize that those few conditions immediately after my son’s birth were necessary for me to be a better mom in those first postpartum hours. Forgiving myself, with Giedre’s help, added confidence to how I perceive myself as a mom, making room for more joy from parenting. I left Giedre relieved and at ease with myself, filled with much love and gratitude.
