Every birth experience is different, and sometimes it takes time to process what happened.

What we can explore:
Your recollection of the birth experience.
Events and decisions surrounding your care.
Questions you may still have about what happened.
Feelings and emotions associated with your experience.
Information and explanations to help you make sense of your experience.

Investment:
$350 per consultation.
Scope of the Service:
The Birth Reflection & Debrief is an individualised midwifery consultation intended to provide an opportunity to discuss and better understand your birth experience.
It is not a psychological therapy service, counselling treatment or formal investigation of maternity care. While we can explore events, decisions and interventions from a midwifery perspective, the session does not provide a formal clinical review or determination of whether care was appropriate.
If you require further investigation or clarification of your maternity care, I can help identify appropriate pathways for seeking this information.
If your experience has raised ongoing emotional or psychological concerns, I can also discuss appropriate referral options, including your GP or a suitably qualified perinatal mental health professional.
Your wellbeing matters, and seeking additional support when needed is an important part of caring for yourself.
