Your birth has not left you broken, it’s broken you open. 

 

And the key to healing, the golden thread that will weave you into your wholeness lies in rewriting your birth story. 

 

Reclaiming the Joy, Connection, and Trust that you crave after your traumatic birth experience is fully possible when you shift the lens you see your story through and the meaning you are making it to be.  

 

And here is the best part- it doesn't have to take months and years. Birth Story Alchemy is a powerful and potent process that can shift your perspective in as little as one session.  

 

This is the miracle that constantly blows my clients minds 🤯🤯🤯.

 

I know this can be hard to fathom,

 

Especially when you may have spent hours and hours of sessions in therapy processing your story.

 

And when your experience feels heavy, as if you are moving through dense fog you just can't seem to see out of. 

 

I know the longing in your desire when you decided to become a parent.  

 

The early moments of bringing your baby home, smelling their sweet skin, feeling their body snuggled up against your heart. 

 

But the warm fuzzies you were longing for aren’t there. 

 

And in its place is a fog of grief, feelings of failure, and mind loops around all the what if's.  A heavy dense feeling in your chest, and a swirling in your mind. 

 

A feeling that’s layered with 

 

• Your expectations of how your birth would go shattered

• That moment of meeting your baby, having them placed on your chest, swept away. 

• The flashbacks and memories you can’t seem erase from your thoughts and dreams. 

• The panic and anxiety you feel around your baby.

• Feeling like you failed at birth and at mothering from the very get go. 

 

And they say things like

 

“But you are healthy and baby is healthy, isn’t that all that matters?”

 

Dismissing that under the surface you are struggling in body, mind, and spirit. 

 

And dismissing the deep right of passage that birth inherently carries with it. 

 

So you find yourself stuck in the pain of your story.  The stories, what if’s, and self blame swirling round and round, like a revolving door you just can’t seem to step out of. 

 

• Unable to tell your full story without a swell of emotions.

• Wondering why me?  What did I do wrong after all the preparation?

• Am I not a strong enough woman to birth my baby?

• Am I not a good mother for feeling the connection I longed for with my baby?

 

But in the breaking open of you, what has actually come to the surface are  the parts of you craving deeper awareness, acceptance, and healing. 

 

And in alchemizing your birth story you begin the progress of integrating these parts of you. 

 

Finding the golden threads of truth that weave you back into wholeness. 

 

Clearing the skies, the heavy dense fog lifting away.

 

Allowing you to

 

• Connect to a deeper meaning of your birth, and often a deeper purpose, a gift to share with your community, and the word. 

• Approach parenthood with an open heart, full of joy. 

• Connect with and trust in your body.  In its innate wisdom and healing potential.

• Begin to share the deeper gifts and medicine that lie in your birth story.  The wisdom that comes from this right of passage from maiden to mother. 

 

This is the journey in Birth Story Alchemy.  

 

Bringing you back home to connection with yourself, your child, your community.

Just as the vase in the picture above, this process is based on the Japanese art of Kintsugi, mending the broken parts of ourselves with golden glue.  We can't change our birth story, but we can mend the broken pieces and feel whole again.
