What is Birth Story Listening?

Birth is mysterious. It can be joyful, empowering and miraculous.  Yet, at times, it can also be difficult, disappointing or traumatic.  Sometimes birth doesn't go as planned, hoped, or expected.  Even with a healthy mom and baby, you may still have leftover feelings of disappointment, anger, shame, embarrassment or sadness with the events of your birth. If you have had a difficult birth, you might be having trouble making sense of what happened.
  • When you tell your birth story, are there are parts you skip over because they are too painful or disappointing? 
  • When you tell your birth story, are you embarrassed or ashamed because it didn't go as you had hoped? 
  • When you tell your birth story, do you feel guilty because you have a "healthy baby and that's all that matters, right?" 

If you would like to take an important step toward healing how you feel when you tell your story, a Birth Story Healing session is just for you. 

Those who benefit from a session are often:

  • Trying to integrate difficult feelings and or disappointment, even though you had a “normal” birth and everyone is healthy.
  • Had a difficult or traumatic birth.
  • Are dealing with healing from a cesarean, either physically or emotionally.
  •  Are preparing for a VBAC or anther pregnancy.

 It doesn’t matter if your baby is two weeks, two months, or twenty years old, if you have had a disappointing, difficult, or traumatic birth and want to move toward healing, then you will benefit from a Birth Story Listening session.  With warmth and compassion, we will work one-on-one, to see and understand your birth in a new light.  While you cannot change the events of your birth, you can change your understanding and beliefs about those events.


Birth Story Listening is for anyone who is trying to process the events of a difficult birth: mother, father, doula, midwife, doctor, friend or birth attendant.
Thanks again for the session we had, Meggan. It was really meaningful for me and extremely helpful. I felt different today and I was a better mom! I feel confident saying that. I can't thank you enough.-- Amy G.
I now see things a little differently... I am a stronger more self sufficient person today. Which is something to be proud of and something my son can look up to and admire...hopefully! -- B.
