We meet; you are witnessed and prompted to tell your profound story. I write it down.
TELL YOUR BIRTH STORY Sessions & Written Keepsakes
You never want to forget this powerful experience…or maybe you are looking to heal from an experience you wish you could forget…Maybe you story is with you, like it or not. Maybe you have never had the chance to tell your birth story while being fully witnessed, encouraged, and affirmed. You’re in the right place.
Our “tell your birth story” process begins with a 1hr 1:1 virtual session with me (on Zoom), where you are fully supported and prompted to tell your birth story on your own terms. We begin with a short grounding meditation, and opening to the story that wants to come through, and the tremendous thing it is to birth a child and talk about it.
The story you tell does not have to be linear and rarely is, and can start wherever it starts in you. New memories and emotions may arise as you speak. I write down your words, and askings questions when invited, and where it seems more could emerge. When you feel *done*, the session itself ends.
**If you wish to tell birth stories for more than one child, I recommend booking a session for each, so it gets its due attention, space and full experience.
I also support foster, adoption and loss stories.
I edit for you; together, we create your cherished keepsake

I work with the text, making it flow and read well. I do not make any dramatic changes. I usually have this completed within a week.
You can choose to add images or graphic elements, or craft it to be more literary or formal.
You receive a pdf keepsake to cherish or pass down to your child, as well as access to an editable copy (in Word or Google Docs) should you want to make any changes. Your birth story is always kept private and confidential unless you direct me otherwise.
