Relief for birth trauma

I’m sitting here in my cosy clinic space with my heart so full after receiving a tight hug from a client who has been haunted by a traumatic birth for more than 3 years.

With tears in her eyes she shared her gratitude to feel the weight of this experience lifting off her after so long.

She had done talk therapy and been part of support groups which had all helped, but never had this powerful effect of unburdening.

This is why I love Havening. In one session, using a very gentle and safe protocol involving soothing touch and compassionate presence, there can be huge relief. Clients will still remember their experience, but it won’t distress them anymore. Often the feeling of desperate aloneness is replaced with a sense of loving presence.

This client had learned to dread the springtime which reminded her of this terrible event. On her child’s birthday she was unable to connect with the sense of celebration. A few months since our session, I heard from her that for the first time she had experienced joy and gratitude on her child’s birthday. Her relief was so palpable and touched my heart again deeply.

If you had a birth experience where you felt unheard, powerless, invalidated or unsupported and alone I am here to support you. You don’t need to keep carrying this burden.
