Healing the Hard Moments of Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum
Some moments stay with us long after they’ve passed — the fear during labour, the unexpected intervention, the NICU stay, the loneliness of postpartum, or the quiet guilt you can’t quite put words to. You’re not supposed to carry those feelings on your own.
This 2-hour guided support session offers a gentle, structured way to make sense of what you went through and find some emotional breathing room again. You don’t need to retell your whole story. You don’t need the “right” words. You just need a safe place to land while your nervous system settles.
Whether your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum season was overwhelming, frightening, or simply not what you expected, this space is here to help you move forward with more steadiness and less weight on your shoulders.
That’s where EMDR G-TEP comes in.
This gentle, structured, single-session model helps you process difficult birth memories in a safe, supported, trauma-informed space — without needing to retell every detail of your birth story.
