Give your body more understanding and compassion — not pushing.
When your nervous system is overwhelmed, effort can feel like pressure.

And pressure often keeps the system on high alert.

Healing begins when the body feels met, not managed.

Three ways to practise compassion instead of pushing:
1️⃣ Pause before you problem-solve
Ask, “What might my body be protecting me from right now?”

2️⃣ Lower expectations in small moments
Doing less — more slowly — gives the nervous system room to settle.

3️⃣ Offer reassurance through presence
A hand on the chest, a gentle tone, or sitting quietly can be enough.

You don’t need to try harder to heal.
You need to relate to your body differently.

The power of 7:11 breathing...

I teach a technique known as 7:11 breathing, because it’s a powerful technique initiating the parasympathetic nervous system so it really does work physiologically.

If you find it easier, breathe in to a count of 3 and out to 5, or whatever suits you best - as long as the out-breath is longer than the in-breath.

Here is how you do it, and it is as easy as it sounds:
Breathe in for a count of 7.
Then breathe out for a count of 11.
If you can, breathe in and out through your nose, not your mouth.
Make sure that your diaphragm (tummy) swells out when you breathe in and collapses again when you breathe out.

If your chest and shoulders are going up and down, that is shallow breathing, which you want to avoid when panicky.

Continue in this way for 5-10 minutes - or longer if you have time - and enjoy the calming effect it will have on your mind and body.

An added bonus of 7:11 breathing is that the very act of counting is a distraction, helping take your mind off worrying concerns.

This 7:11 breathing technique has been used for thousands of years throughout the world.

💥 Experiencing trauma during your pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

PTSD symptoms can vary, but if you’ve experienced perinatal trauma, you may notice the following:

⚠️ Intrusive Thoughts and Flashbacks: Distressing memories of the traumatic event may intrude on your thoughts, causing emotional and physical distress.
⚠️Avoidance Behaviors: You might actively avoid anything reminding you of the traumatic experience, such as conversations, locations, or activities related to pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period.
⚠️ Hyperarousal: Heightened anxiety, irritability, difficulty concentrating, trouble sleeping, and increase in your
startle response are common symptoms.
⚠️ Negative Mood and Emotional Changes: You may experience persistent negative emotions like guilt, shame, sadness, or difficulty forming emotional connections with your baby.
⚠️ Physical Symptoms: Physical ailments such as headaches, stomachaches, fatigue, and muscle tension can be stress-related.

Sessions with can help and I want you to know you are not alone and you can heal from what you have been through.
Like one recent client found ……

“ I was suffering from anxiety and I found a lot of situations were very triggering, even if they seemed to have no connection to the event. I was experiencing PTSD symptoms and found the thought of being pregnant again too overwhelming and terrifying.
 
I never imagined the sessions could change my feelings towards the traumatic event so much to the point where I feel like a totally different person. They have changed my life and I am forever grateful”

YES, your TRAUMA is valid, even if...

💣 someone you told about it didn’t think it was a big deal

💣 other people have experienced ‘worse’ things

💣 you didn’t develop trauma symptoms until much later

💣 it’s been a long time since it happened or you feel like you should be over it already

💣 you can’t remember it properly; fragmented memories are a normal reaction to a traumatic event

💣 someone else wasn’t
traumatised by a similar event

💣 you haven’t told anyone about it

🔺You may have found new parenthood has brought some silent struggles ….

🔺The perinatal period—pregnancy through the first year postpartum—is often seen as a joyful time, but it can also be one of the most challenging and vulnerable.
🔺You might find yourself battling anxiety, depression, or isolation, and sometimes these feelings can lead to thoughts of self-harm or su***de.
⚠️ So let’s break the silence around perinatal mental health.
🔺Remember, you are not alone—your struggles are valid, and help is here.

🔺Suicide is complex and painful, and the stigma often keeps many from reaching out. But asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a brave step towards healing.

🔺Suicide doesn’t end the chance of life getting worse; it eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better.
🔺There will come a time when you will find happiness, and you’ll look back and be so glad you stayed.
🔺Stay for that moment.
🔺Stay to see the days you’ve been waiting for.
🔺Stay so you can say you made it.

💥If it felt traumatic for you then it was!

It doesn’t need to be minimised or talked through to convince you, you felt something else.

Your experience needs to be held, heard and validated.

Let’s talk about what birth trauma or perinatal trauma is…..

✍️ Firstly define what trauma is with roots in the Greek meaning ‘wound’
It happens when anything felt too much, too soon or too quickly for your nervous system and body.

It can also be what didn’t happen, what should’ve happened, and what could’ve happened IN the absence of resources and care, connection, and support that you NEEDED at the time of YOUR experience.

⚠️ Remember, trauma is a completely subjective experience and is what you say it is!
⚠️Trauma is not just a memory it’s a physiological injury that leaves a lasting imprint.

❤️‍🩹 I would love to help support you through this.
Does what I say resonate with you?

When the overwhelm starts to lift… 🤍
you don’t need to rush — just gently build from here

Try one of these:
• Open a window or step outside for fresh air

• Sip something warm and notice the sensation

• Do one small task (positive, achievable and needs orientated)

• Stretch your body slowly — especially your shoulders and neck

• Send a message to someone who feels easy to talk to

Tiny steps still count.
This is how we come back to ourselves, one moment at a time 🤍

12/04/2026

Can we talk about that moment
when everything feels like it’s building up? 🤍

Not all at once…
just little things… stacking… stacking… stacking…

Until suddenly, it feels like too much.
And maybe nothing big has even happened…
but your body feels on edge,
your thoughts feel busy,
and you just feel… done.

That’s not you failing.
That’s your nervous system saying,
“this is a lot for me right now.”

So instead of trying to push through…
what if you slowed it down?

You might not need a full reset.
You might just need a small release.
That could look like…
shaking out your hands for a few seconds…
taking a deeper breath than usual…
or even just sitting down and doing nothing for a minute.

Can you let your system catch up with you.
Because when we ignore those early signs,
that’s when overwhelm tends to take over.

But when we notice them… gently…
we can support ourselves sooner.
You’re allowed to pause
before you reach breaking point 🤍
