Essential support for parents after a difficult birth.
I have recently founded ‘The Birth Healing Collective’ as a way to bring clinically-informed, evidence-based information to the broader community. Please come and take a look!
The Collective aims to remove the sense of isolation that many women describe after a traumatic, distressing or disappointing birth experience. It’s free to sign up as a member, learn more about the impact of a difficult birth and access my advice on moving forward.
The Birth Healing Collective will also offer free workshops, online group programs and self-educational courses.
Come and follow the Birth Healing Collective on Instagram as @birth_healing_collective to get a sense of what is on offer.
