Do you still cry when you think about your C-section, even years later?

You’re not broken, weak or “stuck in the past.”

I’ve worked with women who are 5, 10, 20, and even 30 years post C-section who still become emotional when talking about their birth experience.

In this video, we explore why difficult, challenging, and traumatic birth experiences can continue to affect you long after the birth itself and why time alone doesn’t always heal emotional wounds.

We discuss:
✨ Why you still cry when thinking about your C-section
✨ Birth trauma and the nervous system
✨ Why emotions can remain stored in the body
✨ The connection between your scar, tummy, womb and birth experience
✨ Somatic healing after C-section
✨ Reconnecting with your body after birth
✨ Writing your birth story as part of healing
✨ Simple ways to begin processing your experience

Many women are told to move on, be grateful or stop thinking about the birth. But healing doesn’t happen through avoidance. Healing happens when we create safe spaces to process what we’ve been through.

Whether your C-section was months ago or decades ago, it is never too late to begin healing.

This is The C-Section Healing Space, where we talk about the emotional, physical, energetic and spiritual side of C-section.

Are you scared to have another baby after a traumatic C-section?

You’re not alone.

After my first traumatic C-section, I was convinced I never wanted another child. The fear, shock, anxiety, difficult recovery and everything I experienced during birth made the thought of doing it again feel impossible.

In this video, I share my personal story of having 3 C-sections in 5 years, what happened during my second pregnancy, why unprocessed birth trauma showed up again during my planned C-section, and what I wish I had done differently before becoming pregnant again.

We talk about:
✨ Fear of having another baby after birth trauma
✨ Pregnancy after a traumatic C-section
✨ Why unprocessed emotions can show up during pregnancy, birth and postpartum
✨ VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean) options
✨ Birth preparation and hypnobirthing
✨ How to feel more confident about future pregnancies
✨ Emotional healing after C-section
✨ C-section recovery and nervous system healing

If you’re wondering whether you’ll ever feel ready for another baby, I want you to know that healing is possible. You do not have to carry fear from one birth into the next.

This is The C-Section Healing Space, where we talk about the emotional, physical, energetic and spiritual side of C-section recovery.

Did you freeze during your labour or C-section and later wonder:
“Why didn’t I say no?”
“Why didn’t I advocate for myself?”
“Why did I just go along with it?”

In this episode of The C-Section Healing Space, I talk about freeze and fawn trauma responses during birth and how your nervous system may have been trying to protect you.

After having 3 C-sections in 5 years, including a traumatic epidural experience where I truly thought I was dying, I now understand that what happened in the birth room was not a personality flaw, it was a learned survival response.

In this video we talk about:
• Freeze and fawn trauma responses in birth
• Why many women struggle to advocate during labour
• Nervous system survival patterns
• Birth trauma and people pleasing
• Why your body “shuts down” when feeling unsafe
• Traumatic epidural experiences
• Intuition during labour and birth
• Gentle nervous system healing after traumatic birth

I also share practical ways to begin helping your body feel safe again through grounding, tapping and reconnection practices.

This is a calm, soul deep healing space for women recovering emotionally, physically and energetically after C-section.

“Was my C-section traumatic?”

This is one of the most common questions women ask after birth, especially when they feel like they “should be fine” because somebody else had it worse.

In this episode of The C-Section Healing Space, I talk about:
• How trauma is defined by the individual
• Why two people can experience the same birth differently
• The nervous system and traumatic birth
• Why you don’t need to justify your pain
• The “trauma olympics” many women silently live with
• Suppressed emotions after C-section
• Why your feelings are valid
• Emotional healing after traumatic birth

I also share powerful real life examples from supporting women through birth trauma recovery and why so many mothers feel unable to speak honestly about their experience.

After having 3 C-sections in 5 years myself, I know firsthand how difficult it can feel when society tells women to “just be grateful” instead of allowing space for healing.

Feeling guilty after a C-section is incredibly common but that doesn’t mean the guilt belongs to you.

In this episode of The C-Section Healing Space, I talk honestly about the shame, blame and guilt so many women carry after having a C-section, especially when society glorifies vaginal birth and dismisses the emotional reality of birth trauma.

After having 3 C-sections in 5 years, including unplanned, planned and a unsuccessful VBAC attempted birth, I know firsthand how deeply these feelings can stay in the body.

In this video we talk about:
• Why women feel guilty after C-section
• Society’s pressure around “natural birth”
• Birth trauma and emotional healing
• Emergency and unplanned C-sections
• How guilt becomes stored in the body
• Why your child does not love you any less
• The emotional and energetic side of C-section recovery
• Gentle ways to begin releasing guilt and reconnecting with yourself

I also share simple nervous system and reconnection practices that supported my own healing after traumatic birth experiences.

This is a calm, soul-deep healing space for women recovering emotionally, physically and energetically after C-section.
