Need support after a difficult pregnancy, bad birth or challenging postnatal period? Join our My Birth Recovery Course this Autumn to heal and find hope again: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/2000704094805 This support is designed with you in mind, especially if one of these sounds like your experience:
-I am overwhelmed and alone in parenthood and I need some support.
-l had a difficult or traumatic pregnancy, labour, birth or early postnatal period.
-l felt scared and uncared for at a vulnerable time in my life.
-l felt trapped / experienced things I didn’t expect or had unwanted interventions.
-l was ill/ my baby was ill and separated from me.
-I feel so disappointed about my feeding journey.
-l am pregnant again and have memories from a previous birth that are causing doubt and fears.
-l am preparing for birth after a previous caesarean and want to be free from that past experience.
-l have had a challenging journey with conception, fostering or adoption.
From Aileen White, your host
“Your experience may have been very recently or years, even decades ago. I f it’s troubling you, then it’s worth getting support and finding some freedom.”
This My Birth Recovery support over 6 weekly sessions aims to provide:
-a safe community of mums where you can be heard, belong and explore what happened to you.
-a wide variety of strategies to work through what happened (these will also be transferable to difficult situations you might experience in the future)
-ways to let go of unhelpful feelings/experiences/beliefs, helping to then build your confidence and resilience over the 12 hours together.
-time to consider how we can counter the classic birth horror story to be a transformational story of hope.
Available in person OR join us live online:
This hybrid support is available in person in our lovely relaxed lounge (pictured above) in Thanington, Canterbury AND online. We recognise lots of mums need support like this but can’t access it in person. We would love you to be in our circle where we will meet in person and with some of us live on a computer screen. We will keep the group small to ensure everyone is able to join in with the interactive activities and discussions.
Non mobile babies are also very welcome to join us in person or online.
