Hey Mum, it’s no April Fool’s joke to be living with the effects of a bad experience, no matter how long ago it was. Maybe you've never spoken about what happened, or maybe you’ve told your story a hundred times and no one really knows how to listen or to help. We’re really sorry you are in this position!

Whether your baby is in your arms or fully grown, if your birth experience left you with emotional /physical scars, you deserve care and healing. That’s the whole reason why I started offering My Birth Support 13 years ago!

Our “My Birth Recovery” 6 week series (22nd April- 27th May 2026) starts in 3 weeks and runs for 6 supportive weekly sessions. You can join us in person in Canterbury or join us live on zoom: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1985187931543

Through My Birth Recovery, you will:
♥ have the opportunity to connect with other mums who can relate to what you're going through.
♥ learn a whole toolkit of practical strategies to feel safer in your body,
♥ begin to rebuild a sense of peace, strength and hope for the future.

We would love to support you on this journey. Healing isn’t about forgetting, it’s about feeling whole in yourself again.

Comment "April" and we will send you the event links.
It’s Easter month, well almost! I love the signs of new life all around and my family will be quite busy with Easter celebrations and services again this year. Also with a longer school holiday there will some days when it’s easier to get out between showers.

 
So with all this going on, it’s vital that we care for our own mental health and emotional wellbeing. Not just for the sake of your family, but because you matter in your own right!
