WORKING WITH WOMB TRAUMA
I do not believe that we can exist in this modern world, without the accumulation of womb trauma, for our womb remembers every encounter whether it be Loving or NOT. She holds the stories of our mothers, our grandmothers and the women who lived long before them.
We live in a world where we are encouraged to SILENCE our womb. Suppressing our sacred cycle with synthetic hormones and medication. Numb our pain with prescription drugs and keep on DOING even when the body is screaming at us to STOP, FEEL and LISTEN.
Women have been misunderstood, feared and suppressed by the Patriarchy for centuries. Our modern way of living simply does not support the HONOURING of the womb and her natural cycles. Our society does not honour or respect the MOTHER as the greatest teacher of us all.
When our life does not support the honouring of our womb, when we live from our head and not our heart, when we fail to honour the natural seasons alive within our body, when we stop the natural flow of energy from moving freely this energy gets stuck in the body, this is when we find ourselves face to face with
dis-ease.
Our womb sits in the centre of our pelvic bowl which houses our reproductive organs, it is our seat of creativity, sexuality, reproduction and pleasure. The pelvis is ruled by the second chakra or energy centre in our body also referred to as the sacral chakra or Svadhisthana in sanskrit.
The sacral chakra is associated with the element of water. The element of water symbolically represents our
e-motions (energy in motion) Think of all the ways you know water to be, water is fluid and passes through cracks and flaws in the ground with ease, water moves effortlessly around obstacles and patiently wears away the sharpest of rocks until they are smooth and soft to the touch. Water ebbs and flows, comes and goes in a powerful rhythmic motion. Water rises up from the earth and seeds the sky before raining down upon the land to ensure new growth and sustain life. Sometimes water may be frozen before melting and moving once more. Water is not often stagnant and when it is, it will often become murky and dark and full of larvae and bacteria. Water likes to move, it is all about fluidity, flexibility and freedom. This is how our emotions wish to be, free to move! When we suppress our emotions and stop the natural flow of energy from moving through our body these unprocessed emotions become stored in our pelvic bowl, our hips, and our womb. After some time the physical body will start to show signs of dis-ease which may appear in many different ways depending on the unique story and experiences of the individual. This dis-comfort and dis-ease in the body is our bodies way of communicating with us that something is not right, something has been sitting stagnant and stored for too long and is calling to be seen, acknowledged, felt, expressed and healed. The root cause of ALL dis-ease can be traced back to unprocessed emotions and our environment. When we know this, when we believe this, when we TRUST this we are no longer victims. We can take the power back into our own hands, acknowledge we have healing to do and then begin the deep and powerful journey of healing at the core of our being. Our mainstream 'health care' system will not tell you any of this, they will lead you to believe something is terribly wrong with you, perhaps there is no cure and maybe the best way to help you is to suppress your symptoms further with medication or worse, remove your most sacred space!! I do not believe this is ever the answer. I believe we ALWAYS hold the power to heal. We first must believe this to be true and know that our healing begins in our mind.
WORKING WITH WOMB TRAUMA
I have spent the past 16 years studying the womb, the way she works, the language she speaks and what it is that is required for her to fully open and bloom.
Your womb is always communicating with you, she is your greatest guide and teacher if you are willing to listen to that which she speaks.
When you are 'suffering' from dis-ease and dis-comfort related to your womb space, this is merely your womb expressing to you that you have healing to do, whether you are aware of the trauma that sits here in your pelvic bowl or not.
When we are able to step back and see the bigger picture we can choose to step out of 'Victim' mode where we feel helpless and passive in our mis-fortune, holding onto the belief that something is wrong with us and step into 'Empowered Self Healer' role, where we thank our body for communicating so clearly with us that something in our life needs addressing and take the power back into our own hands by delving deeply all the way back to the beginning of our experience and finding the root of what is laying at the base of our suffering. Our body and our womb will ALWAYS communicate where we have healing to do, we can THANK our bodies for speaking to us and devote our time and energy to listening, acknowledging and addressing deeper aspects of our human experience as we reclaim our power, our health, our wellbeing and our quality of life.
By working with me you will gain a deeper innerstanding of the language of your womb.
This session is unique to you and will be led by your heart and your womb and what they are calling you to address right now. Together we can work through your current experience, deciphering the voice of your womb to help you reclaim the power that lays waiting within the cellular memory of your most sacred space.
90 minute ZOOM call =$90
2 hour face to face session = $222
If you are like me and prefer connecting face to face, you are invited to connect with me in the beautiful womb room, a private and peaceful, quiet, warm, and sacred space nestled away in the hills. We will sip high vibrational hot herbal tea, made from freshly dried organic herbs and flowers foraged with love from the land as we delve into your inner world of feeling to bring about the healing you are seeking. This session is unique to you and will be led by your heart and your womb and what they are calling you to address right now. This is not a hands on healing, this is a 1:1 coaching session offering you fresh information and insight alongside tools and support to help guide you on your journey back to wholeness and optimum health. Our in person session ends with a 20minute sound healing journey, where you may lay your body down to rest while I bathe you in the healing vibrations of ancient instruments and crystal singing bowls to help bring your body mind and spirit into a place of deep relaxation, renewal, balance, health and clarity.
WOMB HEALING
A 1:1 womb healing is an in person 2.5 hour session, held in the beautiful ‘womb room’, a divine space dedicated specifically to the womb, to women and mothers.
The womb room is a warm, soft and sacred space tucked away in the quiet peaceful hills of the Bay of Plenty.
This is a place where all of you is welcome, all your thoughts, your feelings, your fears, your emotions, a place where you are held and supported to return to the dark and comforting embrace of the womb, to remember the feeling of being held in the fullness of space. To deepen your breath, returning home to your body, home to your heart, home to your womb and the ancient wisdom that lives here within the very cells of your being.
A place where you will be guided and supported to soften ever so deeply into your body, surrendering into the now, providing the body with the time, space and safety that it needs in order to open, allowing anything that may be sitting stuck in the shadows of your being to come to light, to be seen, and met with love and gratitude, to move freely through and out of the body, freeing yourself from old stories, old wounding and unprocessed trauma that has been sitting stored within the cells of your being, physically weighing you down, muffling the creative voice of your womb.
There is ritual, prayer and intention setting.
All you are required to do, is to lay your body down, breathe, release and receive.
I will call upon spirit to assist in the healing process and open myself up as a channel for source energy to move through me, to ignite clearing, activation and healing beyond space and time.
I will guide you through some gentle breath work to help you land in your body and connect with your womb.
I use my medicine drum to help bring your heart rate down and your nervous system out of fight, flight and survival mode back into a state of rest, digest and healing, dropping your body into a deep place of remembrance of being held and supported in the womb of your own mother, the low frequency beats of the drum
hold the power to reconnect us with not only the womb of our mother, but with the pulse of the earth beneath us, the womb of our great mother who supports and sustains all of life here on earth. It is here in the sacred space of the void where we may rest, it is here we may feel, connecting deeply with our heart, our baby, and our womb, feeling our own rhythm and bringing balance and healing to our mind, body and spirit.
I begin by offering slow, deep intuitive massage, releasing tension from all your busy bits first, your calves and feet, arms and hands, head, neck, shoulders, face and jaw, chest and abdomen before working gently yet deeply with your beautiful womb. I work with my own homemade medicine oil, infused with powerful plants foraged from the land where you will receive your healing. The oil continues to work into the tissues of your body long after I have finished my work.
You are then covered up and kept warm and snug, while I work intuitively with my hands to address your energetic body, helping to release any blockages or imbalances as I work my way up through your central chakras, with a focus on your sacral (womb), heart and throat centres, these three energy centres are both physically and energetically connected, in order for our womb to open, it is essential that we first open through our heart and throat.
We finish off your session with a powerful sound journey where you are bathed in the healing frequencies of the crystal singing bowls tuned specifically to the frequency of the sacral and heart chakras to help bring balance to every cell of your being. I also work with a weighted tuning fork which is a powerful healing instrument designed to be placed on and around the body, helping to bring your body back into resonance with the frequency of OM 136.1hz, which is said to be the primordial sound of all of creation. The tuning fork can also help to increase circulation, reduce pain and inflammation, helping to bring balance and harmony to your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body.
A one on one womb healing is a truly unique experience, like no other. It is held in a powerful safe container with the intention of you receiving the highest possible healing available.

UNPACK YOUR BIRTH
Birth has the potential to be one of the most empowering experiences a woman has in her lifetime.
Birth is an opportunity for a woman to journey to the depths of her being, to meet with and welcome her raw, unfiltered wild self, her deepest wisdom and her greatest power.
Birth is also the incredibly important journey that a baby takes as it emerges from womb to world. Our first opportunity to trust in the unknown, to surrender to the immense pressure on our body, to keep going, to push through and in turn be rewarded as we are met with literal light and love on the other side.
Birth is a sacred rite of passage for both mother and child.
Unfortunately majority of women in New Zealand are falling into a system that was never designed to love or support women, babies or birth. A system run predominantly by men. A system that does not know, trust or support birth as sacred or birth as ceremony. A system that does not encourage or facilitate women to be empowered through birth, it simply does not innerstand the language of the womb and is blind to the impact and ripple effects of its intervention on women, the womb, the unborn, the newborn and society.
Only a very small percentage of women are walking away from their birth experience feeling truly EMPOWERED. Less than 1/3 of women in NZ are experiencing spontaneous, normal, pysiological vaginal births! Our intervention rates are shockingly high and women are being told "a live baby is all that matters" despite how they may be FEELING following their birthing experience. For many women at the time of birth they may feel relieved the birth is over, despite it taking a totally different direction than they had 'planned'. "Baby is out, baby is alive, all is ok". But is everything really ok? more often than not in the weeks following the birth the mother begins to feel totally robbed of what could have been and resentful, I have witnessed this time and time again.
Often women will experience flash backs from the birth, re-living and re-feeling moments of fear, anxiety and disempowerment.
Women may even visit their GP only to be labelled with the likes of 'Post-natal depression' and even prescribed medication to numb their true feelings. This is the worst thing that can happen. A woman does not need to be told something is wrong with her! She needs to be listened too, supported and provided with tools to help her move through these big feelings.
YOUR experience of birth is yours and yours only, Your feelings are VALID, ALWAYS, you do not need to be told there is something wrong with you. You are not depressed, if anything you may be suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (which is not a disorder) PTSD is a normal physiological response to ABNORMAL STRESS. You are far more likely to develop PTSD if you feel all control was taken away from you, this may look like
-lack of choice
-lack of consent
-unwanted medical procedures
-unwanted outcome
-separation from baby at birth
-left feeling powerless/disempowered
-left feeling unable to cope
UNPACK YOUR BIRTH
This is a 1:1 2.5 hour session that can either be in person or via ZOOM, this is an opportunity for you to tell and honour your birth story with all its attached E-Motions. Let us go back to the beginning, let us pull it all out of the bag and lay it out in the open where we can see with more clarity why things may have gone the way they did. I have 13 years of intimate experience working with women to help process their birth trauma. The first step in healing your birth trauma is simply sharing your story, ALL of your story, all of your feelings, to be seen and heard and met with love and compassion, to have your feelings acknowledged and validated is important. My extensive knowledge and experience from my midwifery background combined with my depth of inner-standing of trauma, the mind-body connection and the process of healing can help you to see things from a different perspective alongside providing you with specific tools to help you navigate and move through these big feelings, first by acknowledging their presence, feeling them for all that they are, before releasing them and transmuting them into their opposite. It brings me so much joy to be able to assist women in their journey back to wholeness, happiness and peace.
Our 2.5 hour ZOOM session may look like...
-Me introducing myself and my background of work to you, answering any questions you may have
-You sharing your full unfiltered experience of birth with me
-Together we will unpack your birth story from beginning to end, by unpacking your story we can gain a heightened perspective and more clarity around why things may have gone the way they did. My years of midwifery experience provides me with a deeper level of knowledge and understanding around midwifery in NZ, the birthing process, the way in which the womb works and communicates, and of course the maternity system here and how it can effect the natural birth process.
-Let us acknowledge and address the feelings that are dominating your nervous system at this time and gain a better innerstanding of why you may be feeling the way you are.
-I can help you to recognise and release old stories you may be holding onto or telling yourself which do not serve you or support you on your healing journey.
-I can help provide you with the tools to assist you in releasing any stored anger, fear, resentment, shame, grief or guilt you may be carrying.
-We can discuss how to avoid a similar birth outcome in any subsequent pregnancy, and what a future birth could look like, given the right support and knowledge.
-It is my intention that you walk away from our session feeling a weight lifted off your chest/ your heart space, to feel physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually lighter with a more positive outlook on your past present and future.
2.5hour ZOOM session=$222.
A face to face session involves all of the above, however you get to visit me in my beautiful womb room, private and peaceful, quiet and warm, nestled away in the hills. We will sip high vibrational hot herbal tea, made from freshly dried organic herbs and flowers foraged with love from the land as we delve into your inner world of feeling to bring about the healing you are seeking.

HOLISTIC PREGNANCY SUPPORT
What I know with the experience I have gained as a birthing woman, a mother and a midwife of many years, is that Women birth best when they feel;
-Safe and supported physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
-Safe to EXPRESS all of themselves in ALL moments.
-They have options
-Free to make choices from what feels good in their physical body and encouraged and empowered to make choices from the heart rather than the head.
-Undisturbed in labour, left in peace and quiet
-They have a healthy inner-standing of birth
-Have witnessed birth as a normal physiological process
-Are well informed and have access to early education
-Are supported by an LMC
What I also know is that Women do NOT birth well when :
-They feel unsupported
-They do not feel as though they have options or the freedom to choose
-They don't feel safe to EXPRESS themselves fully
-They are holding onto beliefs grounded in doubt and/or fear
-They have accumulated unprocessed womb trauma
-They have others in their birth space who do not trust BIRTH or trust the woman's ability to birth.
I walked away from the Midwifery profession in Nov 2021 when I was mandated out of the job I love due to my heart felt and well informed choice not to receive the experimental Covid injection, I was considered unfit to practice and a danger to public health. New Zealand lost 300 midwives that day the 16th Nov 2021. The midwives who chose to walk away were predominantly home birth midwives, holistic midwives who truly embodied the archetype of the midwife. Guardians and protectors of NORMAL BIRTH. This has been a HUGE loss to NZ birthing mothers. The midwives that remain, despite their intention to help assist birthing women are constricted and restricted by the NZ maternity system they are tied to. They have no choice but to practice within the 'law', following protocols and policies that do not support women as unique individuals. You cannot put birth into a box, and yet that is exactly what the system does.
Approximately 16000 pregnant women in NZ every year are now going without a lead maternity carer/ LMC midwife. This means women are being left with a LACK of choice, a lack of support, lack of options, lack of information and education, lack of trust and lack of partnership. NZ birth outcomes and current statistics are heart breaking and shocking and I believe this is directly linked to a lack of support for pregnant women.
HOLISTIC PREGNANCY SUPPORT
I offer 1:1 Holistic pregnancy support, this means addressing your WHOLE being, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, these sessions are available via a 90minute ZOOM call, your partner is also more than welcome to be present for our discussions if this feels good for you.

These sessions will be led by you, where you are at right now, what's on your mind? what's sitting heavy on your heart? What are your fears? What do you wish to know more about? How can you better prepare your mind, body and spirit for an empowering birthing experience and a safe and gentle transition into motherhood.
I know that many pregnant women in our community are not being supported in the ways they require at this most sacred time. I know that majority of pregnant women are left wanting more, seeking more and not knowing where to look. I am here for those of you craving more, I can offer you a depth of knowledge a deep connection back to your womb centre and the great mother beneath you, I can offer a depth of truth, experience, wisdom, spirituality, listening, love and empathy that is difficult to find elsewhere. I trust that if this resonates for you, we will work well together and I truly believe you will only benefit from building a relationship with me throughout your pregnancy.

'POST DATES' PREGNANCY SUPPORT
I am passionate about women and babies having the ultimate birthing experience, this means actively AVOIDING and induction of labour, as this is often the beginning point of a common cascade of intervention.
There is very little support and wisdom available for women classed as 'over due' in the community. I am here to help change that.
Our current maternity system in New Zealand is failing pregnant women, robbing them of the experience of being empowered through birth, robbing both mothers and babies of this most powerful sacred rite of passage, leading to higher intervention, more trauma, increased morbidity, poorer outcomes, increased separation between mother and child in turn significantly effecting the health and wellbeing of mothers, babies, families our greater community and society.
-32% of women in NZ are having their babies delivered via major surgery/ cesarean section.
-Over 30% of pregnant women are having their labours induced.
-10-15% of birthing women will experience an instrumental birth (ventouse or forceps)
-Only approximately 23-30% of women are going into spontaneous labour and experiencing a normal phsyiological vaginal birth without unnecessary intervention.
We cannot normalise these statistics. They are simply not acceptable. We have to ask WHY? why are so many women not going into spontaneous labour?
Why are so many women requiring intervention?
Why are so many babies being delivered via cesarean section?
Why are so many women and babies sick and requiring medical care?
Women are being lead to believe they have no choice, that their intervention was necessary, walking away from their birth feeling dis-empowered and as though their body has failed them. This is not the TRUTH. The truth is that women are not being supported in the way that they require at this most sacred time in their lives, women are not encouraged and supported to listen to and trust their body their baby and their intuition above all else. Women are being micro managed by a system that does not trust women, the womb or birth.
Women are handing their power over to 'professionals' they deem more knowing than their own self and their intuition.
We also now have a significant shortage of wisdom keepers, birth keepers, midwives who truly innerstand women, the womb and birth on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. BIRTH is SPIRITUAL, we cannot leave out the element of SPIRIT for it is our connection to this that grows our baby, we do not think our baby into existence, we TRUST that our womb knows exactly how to grow this highly intricate being. But how does our womb do this? through her connection with the cosmic womb, where all of everything is birthed from, her connection to source, to the spiritual realms, her connection to the infinite network of intelligence that pulses through all that is alive and living in this universe. Just as a seed such as a tiny acorn 'KNOWS' how to grow into a giant oak tree, through its connection to the infinite source of all knowing.
We cannot THINK ourselves into labour. Yes we can DO all the things we read about to help initiate labour, we can eat hot curries, lather ourselves in clary sage, have heaps of hot steamy sex, curb walk around the block or walk around the mount, we can see the chiropractor and have an acupuncture session, we can allow our midwife to perform a stretch and sweep and physically stimulate our cervix, yet none of these things will work if our baby is not ready, if our body is not ready, if we are not feeling deeply connected to our womb, our baby and source, trusting in the divine timing and process of our birth.
Of ALL the things that women do to try and help initiate labour, there is but one tool that I have seen work over and over again, this one magical tool does not require you to physically DO anything. It simply requires you to STOP doing, to find stillness in your body and your mind, to lay down, to breathe, to connect with your womb, your baby, talk to your baby, let them know you are ready, visualise them healthy and in the optimum position for birth, see yourself birthing exactly as you dream it to be, feel yourself feeling your baby in your arms for the first time and how you may feel when you gaze into their eyes and fall ever so deeply in love, trust that your baby knows how to be born, trust that your body knows, try to silence the chatter of your mind, connect with the great mother beneath you and source alive within and all around you. It is in these moments of stillness where you are free from worry and anxiety, free from the projected ideas and ideals of others, deeply connected to your body, your baby, deeply connected to the present moment, soft and surrendered, this is when you become an open channel for source energy to move freely through you. This is often when labour is initiated. I have literally experienced women go into labour with my hands on their womb, in the midst of deep meditation.
POST DATES SUPPORT- Guided Meditation and Sound Healing to Help Initiate Spontaneous Labour.
Are you post dates and being told you are 'over due'? Do you feel a building anxiety as you feel you are running out of time and/or running out of options? I am excited to be able to offer you an incredibly unique and valuable offering.
This face to face session is held in the beautiful womb room, a private and peaceful, quiet, warm, and sacred space nestled away in the hills of the Bay Of Plenty. We begin our session with high vibrational hot herbal tea, made from freshly dried organic herbs and flowers foraged with love from the land to help support the health and wellbeing of your heart, your womb and your immune system, there is time for you to inform me on your current circumstances, what it is that you are navigating right now, what it is that you want, what is it that you don't want. We will discuss what your body and womb require in order to open without any un necessary intervention. We will delve deeply into any underlying fears you may be holding onto around giving birth, addressing any anxiety around possible induction and intervention, helping you to release any fear which is not conducive to the opening of the womb.
After we have gone through all of the above and you are feeling lighter with a greater sense of clarity, faith and trust, you are invited to lay your body down on my comfortable healing table, where you will be covered in soft blankets and kept warm while I help guide you back to your body, your breath, your womb, your intuition, your higher knowing, supporting you to find stillness and peace through some gently guided breathe work and a powerful meditation before bathing you in sound and the healing frequencies of ancient instruments and crystal singing bowls.
I use my medicine drum to help bring your heart rate down and your nervous system out of fight, flight and survival mode back into a state of rest, digest and healing, dropping your body into a deep place of remembrance of being held and supported in the womb of your own mother, the low frequency beats of the drum hold the power to reconnect us with not only the womb of our mother, but with the pulse of the earth beneath us, the womb of our great mother who supports and sustains all of life here on earth. It is here in the sacred space of the void where we may rest, it is here we may feel, connecting deeply with our heart, our baby, and our womb, feeling our own rhythm and bringing balance and healing to our mind, body and spirit. I use crystal singing bowls tuned specifically to the frequency of the sacral and heart chakras to help bring balance to every cell of your being. The waves created by these instruments penetrate the waters of your womb, bringing balance and calm to not only you but your baby too. I also work with a weighted tuning fork which is a powerful healing instrument designed to be placed on and around the body, helping to bring your body back into resonance with the frequency of OM 136.1 Hz, which is said to be the primordial sound of all of creation.
This deep meditation and sound healing combined with our conversation, positive affirmation and tools to release fear offers you an opportunity to drop out of your thinking mind, and into your feeling body, this supports your body to enter into receiving mode and this is exactly what is required for you to go into spontaneous labour.
I do not promise you that one session with me will bring about your labour, but I do promise you a deeply nourishing, relaxing and restorative session, one that is unique and not found elsewhere, I trust you will walk away feeling physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually lighter, with a more positive outlook and more clarity.
Your investment $222 for a 2 hour session held in the beautiful womb room.
NAVIGATING MOTHERHOOD
"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born"-Osho.
It is believed in many cultures around the world that a woman is unable to fully evolve as a woman until she has biologically and soulfully blossomed through the portal of birth into motherhood. Motherhood is an invitation for us to deepen into one of the most purest and wisest expressions of the feminine. I cannot think of a more powerful archetype to embody than that of 'The Mother'.
Once you are a mother you are forever changed, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This is a good thing, a wondrous thing, a profound and powerful initiation. The transformative journey from maiden to mother is unlike any other rite of passage you will ever embark on. Motherhood cracks you wide open at the core, opening your heart and your womb on a level that nothing else can ever compare to, it is through the essence of LOVE that life begins to grow within your womb, it is love that physically flows through your being facilitating the opening of your womb as you give birth, it is love that stimulates the flow of milk from your breasts as you nurture your young, it is love that is the driving force behind all of motherhood.
When we enter into motherhood there are parts of us we must let die in order for the mother to evolve, to grow and expand into her fullest potential. We must let go of old stories, limiting beliefs and old woundings that are keeping us small and keeping us stuck in old ways of being, old ingrained patterns that do not serve our highest purpose. Selfishness dies as profound amounts of patience and forgiveness are born through our embodiment and extension of LOVE.
Motherhood is no easy journey, it will test you to your core over and over again, just as you were tested in labour, there is no giving up, there is no easy way out, there is no-one who can do the hard work for you. We cannot simply choose to do the easy parts of parenting just as we cannot choose to only go through the easy parts of labour.
Consciously raising children is perhaps the hardest 'job' that exists yet it is by far the most empowering and rewarding and offers you the opportunity to HEAL the deepest aspects of yourself, your own inner child.
Becoming a mother offers you an opportunity to evolve and grow at a faster rate than ever before.
Every experience your encounter along this journey despite how challenging it may feel is always an opportunity for learning and growth. You can always choose love, whether it be love for your self or giving or receiving love from others. The motherhood journey is never-ending, we never stop growing, we never stop learning. It is our children who offer us the greatest teaching of all, they are powerful mirrors forever reflecting back to us where we still have healing to do.
NAVIGATING MOTHERHOOD
Mothers need support. Mothers need to feel seen, heard and acknowledged by someone who truly knows, someone who can offer empathy and compassion, and ultimately someone who can offer guidance, wisdom and reassurance based on the teachings and observations of the great mother.
The mother child relationship is one of the most important relationships we can cultivate and yet unless we have a deeply committed loving relationship with our own self, all other relationships in our lives will suffer.
If you are currently struggling in any area of your mothering journey, whether this be with a newborn, a toddler, a firey 5 year old, a prepubescent teen, or even an adult child relationship I can offer you wisdom, emotional support, and tools to help you on your journey of healing and sustaining strong and healthy relationships with your children. My passion for innerstanding the parent-child relationship, childhood development, the workings of the human mind and all aspects of trauma, specifically precognitive and preconscious trauma (this means prior to cognition, our trauma inherited from our time spent in our mothers womb and our first foundational years of life) can help you to get to the root of certain behaviours and help put practices in place to offer long-lasting positive change. Remembering that in order to heal the child, first we must heal the mother.
