*If
you have been trying to conceive and are having difficulty,
there are also emotional blocks that cause stress in the body.
Biologically, the body needs to feel safe and taken care of
to procreate.
*Fertility struggles including Invitro/Artificial Insemination
are very stressful and scarring events. Feeling isolated,
angry, resentful, and defective are difficult emotions to
handle on your own. Learn how to effectively face these issues
as a couple and individual in your home and in the community.
During Pregnancy:
There are many
mood swings to manage with a pregnant, surging hormone system.
There are also fears that come up concerning delivery, parenting,
marriage, and your own childhood. Previous problems with pregnancy,
birth and miscarriage, these can surface during current pregnancies.
Learning to stay in balance and dealing with your fears will
give you a more safe pregnancy and delivery for you and your
baby.
Postpartum:
The decline of huge
hormonal surges has been known to cause depression in the
most healthy of women after delivery. Feeling supported, understood
and NORMAL is very healing during that time. Seeing yourself
in a new identity and role can also be a shock to fragile
postpartum sense of self. Learning to adjust can be difficult
in some cases. Coming in for some support and ways to handle
these changes can be beneficial.
*Birth plans sometimes do not go always go as scheduled. Handling
loss, caesarian section and other birth “traumas” can be very difficult and add to postpartum depression.

Trauma:
Sexual abuse and other
body traumas (surgery, accidents, physical abuse) have huge
impacts on the body. They happen to the body and the body
remembers. Birth can often times be a very scary and “triggering” experience for a women who has experienced trauma. Learning
to make a safe delivery is vital to a healthy delivery.
I am a trauma trained therapist, specifically in sexual abuse.
I can help you learn to manage your flashbacks and memories
that can be re-activated during the birthing process. Learn
techniques to feel safe and empower you to take your body
