A gentle alternative to EMDR
Perinatal Healing Support
Are Your Perinatal Experiences Still Affecting You?
During your perinatal journey, you may have experienced events during fertility treatments, pregnancy, birth, or early parenthood that left lasting emotional impacts. The most important question is:
Are these experiences still affecting you now? Ask yourself:
DO I EXPERIENCE A STRONG EMOTIONAL RESPONSE WHENEVER I RECALL THAT MEMORY?
DO MY FEELINGS AROUND THE MEMORY NEGATIVELY INFLUENCE BEHAVIOURS & DECISIONS I AM MAKING IN THE NOW?
WOULD THINGS BE DIFFERENT IF I NO LONGER EXPERIENCED THOSE DIFFICULT EMOTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EVENT?
Your answers to these questions may give you a good insight into whether resolving difficult feelings around a past memory could be useful. By creating space for healing you can create space to foster your bond with your baby, and feel more confidenct in your new role as a parent, and regain your sense of self.
Understanding Your Body's Response
Your body's "fight or flight" response protected you during challenging moments of your parenthood journey. However, sometimes this protective mechanism stays activated long after the event has passed.
For many parents, the brain's danger detection center (amygdala) remains on high alert, which can appear as:
- Anxiety around your baby's wellbeing
- Difficulty sleeping even when your baby is sleeping
- Intrusive thoughts about your birth or pregnancy
- Emotional distress when discussing your experience
- Avoiding certain medical settings or procedures
- Feelings of failure or inadequacy as a mother
- Challenges bonding with your baby
Your Path to Perinatal Healing
Together, we'll create a safe space to gently process your experiences. By releasing stored emotions around your unique parenthood journey, you can reconnect with your innate parental wisdom and find joy in the present moments with your baby.
“After my first delivery, I was left with these heavy feelings that were associated with what should have been one of the best days in my life, I felt I couldn’t move forward, I couldn’t let go. So when I fell pregnant again, I seeked help in letting go of these emotions in hopes that this birth would be different. Working with Tania to process this was the best step I ever took in my recovery and a successfull birthing experience.’’

Then I will guide you through a intense relaxation session followed by a guided self hypnoses taylor made to ease the intense feelings that you have been experiencing.
This normally works for 96% of my clients, but if more sessions are required then we can arrange aditional sessions, to go through this particular exercise.

3rd session
At our last meeting we will do a check in to see how you are feeling and to see if you are still experiencing any of the unpleasent feelings associated to the memories that we worked through our previous session.
We will end this session with another guided relaxation exercise which will be recorded so you can keep on practicing at your own pace.
Why opt for this approach
-
Proven method
Its a gentle and effective process originated from neuro linguistic programming (NLP), with a proven track record experienced by many
-
No waiting time, No referral
You requested a referral from your therapist, joined a lengthy wait list, and you start your appointments but just don't click with the therapist that you end up with, having to start the process all again.
We can arrange a 15min initial consultation and you can assess if we are a good fit, then we can start the process and you do not have to worry in being rushed, I always allow ample time for our sessions.

Experience
I’ve been working as a Doula who specializes in trauma informed care and anxiety for a couple of years, so when you meet with me, you don't have to feel unsure if I know what you're talking about which is what happens when you see a generalist.
I’ve also experienced birth trauma and walked the path of recovery before, making me even more empathetic to your situation
