somatic birth integration sessions.
When birth is traumatic, grief, anxiety and disconnection can block us from receiving the gifts this sacred rite of passage has to offer. I support you in one-on-one somatic healing sessions to resolve trauma as you renegotiate and integrate your experience of giving birth. This embodied integration opens up greater capacity for joy, peace, power, and connection with your baby/child, as well as yourself.
Every body is wise and everybody has the ability to become their own healer. Using Somatic Experiencing, we allow your nervous system to move through and release stored fight, flight and freeze responses from a traumatic birth. We revisit the trauma not to relive it, but to renegotiate the experience in a way that creates a felt sense of safety, autonomy, and resolution.
As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with seven years of experience supporting women to heal from womb-related trauma, and having studied in person with somatic therapy pioneer Dr. Peter Levine, I am thoroughly equipped to support you to create the unique healing and resolution experience that you need. As an autonomous birth worker having studied and practiced outside of the system, I know the power of uninterrupted physiologic birth, and have also witnessed firsthand the trauma and disconnection when birth is sabotaged by the medical system. Whether you gave birth days ago or years ago, your body carries the story and it’s never too late to find deep resolution.
Birth integration sessions are 60-75 minutes long and can take place in person in Los Angeles or anywhere virtually.
