Healing from a Difficult Birth
Next class: To be announced
Is your experience of giving birth negatively impacting your life, relationships, or parenting? If so, you're invited to honor the transformative journey of the childbearing year at this intimate {online} class for people who gave birth. If your birth (or early postpartum period) was difficult, disappointing, surprising, or otherwise negative, and you want to begin or continue the healing and integration process, then this real-time gathering is for you. More about Virginia's approach to Birth Story Healing >
You will leave our circle feeling less alone, and with a new-found lightness in body, heart, and mind. Whether six weeks or six years postpartum, the time is right for you to tend to this part of your life story. This is also an appropriate class for second- (or third-) time expectant parents, as making peace with previous births is an essential part of preparation for the next birth.
Birth Worker Retreats
Next event: To be announced
Feeling stuck, frustrated, burned-out, or overwhelmed in your work (or life)? Searching for inspiration, time to reflect, and connection with other birth workers beyond your community? Then my mini-retreats are for you! Two-hour interactive real-time group experience, for connection, inspiration, insight, and renewal.
My {online} retreats are designed especially for YOU-- those who work with families in the antenatal/postnatal time. This events aim to "refill your cup" with transformative tools and processes for more effectively and mindfully caring for yourself and your clients. Whether you are new to birth-work or a seasoned professional, you'll benefit from this solution-focused, practical, and inspirational retreat. Taking time for reflection is important in helping overcome burn-out, frustration, vicarious (secondary) trauma, and caregiver fatigue. When we commit to taking time for personal development, we rediscover and reconnect to deeper meaning in our work and life. This allows us to be our best selves and provide optimal care and support to families with more ease, purpose, effectiveness, and joy.
