"I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO LISTEN!!!!" Can you relate? This was how I felt after birth (and most days of parenting if I’m honest!), when everything was too overwhelming and out of control! That's why I retrained to offer perinatal mental health support to parents.

Fast forward 13 years and here I am offering to support you in the next round of our *My Birth Recovery" 6 week series (22nd April- 27th May 2026) in Canterbury AND online which STARTS IN A FORTNIGHT: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1985187931543

So if you just want some support and someone to listen, then we’re here for you.
The support over 6 weekly sessions aims to provide:
• a safe place to be heard, to belong and to explore what happened to you.
• a variety of strategies to work through what happened (these will also be transferable to difficult situations you might experience in the future)
• ways to let go of unhelpful feelings/experiences/beliefs, helping to then build your confidence and resilience over the 12 hours together.

This support has some grant subsidised places and further concessions for low income families.

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.
