Birth Debrief
You lived through one of the most profound experiences of your life. But sometimes the weight of it all stays with you — unspoken and unresolved. There can be questions about what happened, confusion, or trauma and fear. A birth debrief is your space to be heard, validated, and set free from what still feels heavy.
Your pregnancy may have been challenging. Maybe something unexpected happened, or the birth didn’t go the way you hoped. On top of that, you suddenly have a tiny newborn to care for or a loss of a child, a body to physically heal, exhaustion to manage, and all the everyday demands of life pressing in. It’s easy to push aside your unanswered questions or unsettling emotions and simply “get on with it.”
For generations, women have given birth in a system that overlooked the emotional and mental impact of the experience. Even today, most mothers receive little to no mental health support after birth — as long as you have a car seat, you’re sent on your way. But when questions go unanswered, feelings can remain unresolved. And those lingering emotions can have lasting effects — not just for you, but for your whole family.
You deserve a safe space to unpack your story, make sense of your experience, and find peace. A birth debrief gives you that space — a compassionate place to be heard, understood, and validated. Your story matters. Your healing matters. And it’s never too late to begin.
No two births are the same — and neither are the emotions they bring. Birth changes you. In ways you expect and in ways you don’t.
What is a birth debrief?
A birth debrief is a safe, guided conversation where you share your birth story, understand what happened, and process the emotions that came with it. You will create resilience practices and be given worksheets, workbooks and resources to help you heal and thrive in motherhood. Whether your birth was difficult, different than expected, or left you with questions, a debrief helps you find clarity, healing, and peace.
Your story matters — and it’s never too late to process it.
Book your birth debrief today and take the first step toward healing, peace, and empowerment.
What happens during a birth debrief?
I designed this birth debrief as a shorter, three-day session to provide focused support. These days do not need to be back to back appointments, but should be completed in one month for best results.
Day 1 (about 2 hours): We’ll discuss your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences in depth. There will be time to review clinical events and explore any moments you’ve found traumatic. If helpful, you can request your labor and birth notes from the hospital in advance so we can review them together.
Between sessions: You’ll have a small amount of optional homework to help process and reflect on your experience.
Day 2 (30–60 minutes): We’ll do a resiliency exercise to support ongoing healing, growth, and momentum forward. You’ll also receive materials and workbooks designed to guide you in your postpartum journey.
Follow-up: After 1–2 weeks of practicing the wellness activities we’ve curated together, we’ll schedule a 30-minute check-in. From there, additional follow-up sessions are available if needed — though many clients find they’re ready to move forward on their own.
