Our earliest experiences don’t begin at birth. They begin in the womb.
The unborn child is a feeling, responsive, and aware being shaped by everything that happens during gestation.
Rebirthing Breathwork believes that gestation trauma can occur when the womb environment becomes stressful, conflicted, or overwhelmed.
Ambivalence about pregnancy, from anyone within the family, ongoing stress, or exposure to toxins can create an emotional landscape the developing fetus must adapt to long before entering the world.
The fetus encodes experience as body memory, forming impressions of safety, belonging, and survival long before language.
Whatever impacts the mother, emotionally, physically, and environmentally also impacts the developing child. When the mother is stressed, the fetus adjusts its hormone levels to cope. When the mother encounters overwhelm or toxicity, the fetus must learn to survive within it.
This understanding isn’t about blame. It’s about compassion. It helps us recognise the deep roots of our emotional patterns and offers a path toward healing inherited stress, unconscious imprints, and the earliest memories stored in the body.
When we understand where our story began, we can rewrite it with awareness, tenderness, and empowerment.
Rebirthing Breathwork offers a way to return to these earliest waters, with compassion and curiosity, to reclaim parts of ourselves with love.
