After the birth of my daughter I felt very vulnerable and couldn’t quite believe that they were letting me go home to look after and be responsible for our baby!
Although I attended classes designed to prepare new parents for the arrival of their little ones, I still felt a lingering sense of uncertainty and inadequacy about how to properly care for my baby. While I did possess some foundational knowledge from the classes, I found that I needed the confidence to effectively apply what I had learned in those sessions to real-life situations with my newborn.
We are fortunate to live in the vibrant city of Bristol, which offers a plethora of postnatal groups and various online activities specifically focused on addressing and supporting new mothers’ mental health and well-being. Engaging in these groups and listening to the heartfelt stories shared by other new moms helps you realise that you’re not alone in feeling this way; many others are navigating similar challenges and emotions.
In my journey, I wanted to explore various therapies that could assist new mothers who may have experienced a difficult birth, helping them recover physically and mentally from their challenges. Additionally, I provide therapies for moms looking to reconnect with their “own self,” allowing them to close the chapter of maternity and begin their new lives as mothers, partners, and individuals. I firmly believe that my range of therapies can provide valuable support and guidance during this transformative period in their lives.
