Tools for Healing

Having a child doesn't always happen the way we imagine. Sometimes intense emotions about our pregnancy, birth, or just the realities of parenting a newborn, can make it feel difficult to be fully present with our baby.

Feelings such as disappointment, anger, or grief, while normal, can get in the way of making the heartfelt connection our babies crave, as well as holding us back from happiness as parents. It is so important to acknowledge these feelings and release them, to begin to invite healing.

Babies, too, process the birth experience in their own way, and can internalize stressful emotions from those around them. Yet babies can also be invited to release these stressful energies, so they can more deeply bond with their parents and be available to their own life's journey.

I share simple, but powerful tools for healing, including:

		Identifying and safely expressing difficult emotions
		Telling our stories, for ourselves & our partners, and with our babies
		Inviting baby's unique healing process
		Integrating healing with the realities of day-to-day parenting
