Birth Trauma Support Online

3-Step-Rewind Technique

Miscarriage. First trimester. Medical trauma. IVF and fertility trauma. Needle phobias. All welcome here.

For mums who are carrying an experience that still doesn’t sit right

You might look “fine” on the outside.

But inside…
you’re still replaying it.

The moments that didn’t feel okay.
The things you didn’t understand at the time.
The parts where you felt out of control, unheard, or like it was all happening around you.

And now you’re pregnant again… or thinking about it…
and there’s this quiet fear sitting underneath everything.

Not dramatic.
Not constant panic.

Just a feeling of
“I can’t go through that again.”

You’re not overreacting

Birth trauma doesn’t always look how people expect.

You might have a healthy baby.
You might have been told “everything went well.”

And still…

Something about it doesn’t sit right in your body.

You might notice:

your chest tightening when you think about birth

avoiding conversations about it

lying awake going over what happened

feeling anxious about appointments or decisions

a quiet dread about doing it again

You don’t need to justify it.

If it felt like too much… it was too much.

This isn't only about birth

Birth trauma is one of the biggest reasons people find their way to me.

But the same shutdown, the same replaying, the same "I look fine but I'm not" shows up after other things too.

  • baby loss

  • a first trimester that took more out of you than anyone prepared you for

  • medical trauma

  • IVF or fertility treatment

  • phobias (fear of birth, needles, you name it)

If any of that is you, you're in the right place too.

A gentle way to process what happened

3-Step-Rewind is a calm, structured way to process trauma, whatever shape it took.

Without having to relive everything.
Without being pushed to “talk it all out” before you’re ready.

It works by helping your brain safely reprocess the memory
so it no longer feels like it’s happening now.

So instead of:

  • replaying it

  • bracing yourself

  • feeling that same tight, anxious response

You can think about your birth…
and feel neutral.
steady.
safe again.

Imagine this instead

Thinking about birth without that drop in your stomach.

Going into another pregnancy without feeling like you’re waiting for it to go wrong.

Being able to talk about your previous birth without your chest tightening or your mind racing.

Walking into a scan, a blood test, or an appointment without your whole body bracing.

Feeling steady. Clear. Back in your body again.

  • Step 1: Preparation (90 minutes)
    In a supportive and relaxed space, we’ll gently explore how your experience is affecting you and what life could feel like without these difficult emotions. If you feel comfortable, you can share your story, but this is entirely optional. I'll guide you through a deep relaxation exercise, which you’ll take home as a recording to listen to between sessions.

  • Step 2: Rewind (90 minutes)
    In this session, we’ll use guided visualisation in a deeply relaxed state to help your mind reprocess your memories. This allows you to revisit the experience without the emotional overwhelm, gradually easing the distress associated with those memories. We’ll also focus on visualising a more confident, positive future.

  • Step 3: Review (60 minutes)
    10-14 days later, we’ll reflect on the changes you've noticed and any personal insights you've gained. This final step helps to consolidate your transformation and ensure you feel ready to move forward with hope and confidence.

This isn’t about “fixing” you

There’s nothing wrong with you.

Your brain is doing exactly what it’s designed to do
when something feels overwhelming or out of your control.

This work simply helps your nervous system realise:

that’s over now.
I’m safe.

You don’t have to carry this into your next birth

You don’t need to “just be strong”
or hope it feels different this time.

You can process what happened
and move forward feeling safe again.

Support on your terms

I offer all sessions online via Zoom. It’s important to be in a quiet, child-free space where you can feel completely relaxed and undisturbed during each session. I find this works perfectly in the comfort of your own home.

The cost of the 3 sessions is £325.

You can book the first session here and you’ll receive an email with how to book your second and third.
