Perinatal Professional Support Package
Your decision to work with birthing families was no doubt a heart one.
It takes a special kind of dedication…….
the kind that’s needed for humanity to flourish from here.
Can you imagine being born with the imprint of being wanted, welcomed, held, seen and belonging in order to be set up for a lifetime of thriving?
Quite a contrast to how things currently stand for the majority of new babies, wouldn’t you agree?
My bias is that ushering new beings into the world with a deep sense of safety and attunement is the most important work on the planet.
You already sense that as a birth professional you can have a significant part to play in all of this.
And with that understanding must come a burden of responsibility.
You feel you can never know enough or do enough to support the families you serve, especially in such a birth-unfriendly culture.
Rather than having the time to help boost oxytocin levels naturally through building safety and connection, you keep trying to bridge the gaps between two distinct worlds. You are required to work within the tight protocols of maternity care systems while you inherently know it is attuned, holistic care that facilitates best outcomes for birthing families.
All too often, you’ve witnessed the cascade of intervention and trauma that results from attempts to fit birth into set timelines.
Being an empath, how can you not be profoundly affected by all that you witness through your work?
Constantly absorbing your clients’ distress?
How can your nervous system not take a battering each time your body braces inwardly in empathy and protection?
Or have you numb out and dissociate to cope with the reality before you?
How do you metabolize the anger and the helplessness that arise as a result of all of this?
And where do you place your feelings of having somehow let your clients down, given the prevalence of perinatal trauma?
Add to this a pandemic that completely stretched the entire healthcare system and intensified fear and trauma for all concerned.
You would be superhuman to not have experienced burnout at some point – your cup running dry with nothing left to give.
Wondering if it’s all worthwhile, and whether you can continue in your chosen field.
Who do you turn to for support through it all?
Is there someone there for you?
Someone who’s not already in the same ‘soup’ with a frazzled nervous system?
Who has a firsthand understanding of the perinatal world and can help you resolve your own secondary, vicarious and prior traumas? Your cumulative stress?
A trained trauma professional and educator who can also support you to educate and work with your clients in a trauma-sensitive way?
And teach you some portable body-based tools to help regulate your own nervous system and those of your clients?
My mission is to offer birth professionals the care they truly deserve to ensure their longevity in their chosen vocation, and to create the same resonance of freedom, ease and flow for the birthing families that they serve.
And I am here to call on if you feel that my approach is a good fit.
Applying a neuro-physiological or bodymind lens to trauma though Somatic Experiencing®, touch approaches to trauma, counselling and attachment theory, I have worked in the perinatal community for many years both as therapist and educator.
My special focus is on birth, medical, sexual, developmental and pre & peri natal traumas. I draw also on my background as birth educator, doula, integrative bodyworker and female embodiment teacher.
The special therapeutic and educational support packages for birth professionals comprises:
