PREGNANCY, BIRTH & POSTNATAL DEBRIEFING

At any stage in life, when people are faced with a big experience or transition, it is normal to be offered the chance to talk this through, and to feel the need to talk about it, to move through the emotions that come with it. Pregnancy, birth and postnatal are no exception. 

A debrief is an opportunity for you to tell your story to Sophie, a Registered Midwife who has completed a Debriefing Mentorship through Motheration, either in person or via Microsoft Teams online. 

There is no definition for a 'traumatic experience'. Whatever experience you felt in your pregnancy (no matter the gestation), birth or postpartum was big, hard or traumatic for you- mentally, physically or emotionally, is valid and you deserve to be heard and supported with compassionate ears and an open heart. 

No matter which stage of conception, pregnancy, birth or postnatal -  feelings of frustration, disappointment, anger, shock, numbness, rage, grief, confusion and/or sadness are common and all feelings are welcome at our debrief.

We know that trauma can have long-term impacts on people if not supported and this can be a difficult experience to move through alone while now navigating this new life moving forward. Through debriefing, Sophie can support you to voice your story, understand and process it and integrate your experience, which, over time and with strategies and supports offered, can help support healing. For some, one session is enough, for others, more than one may be helpful.

Your debrief session will give you the opportunity to:

• Have your story heard, feelings validated and supported
• Ask Sophie any questions you may have about your experience
• Learn how to move through your trauma
• Give you clarity and options for any future pregnancy and births

Debriefs are offered as 90min online sessions via Microsoft Teams for $175, or face to face for $200.

If you would like to have your story heard, please get in contact when it feels right for you.
