Birth Story Listening

“We have the births we need to have, to teach us what we need to know about ourselves, to take us to the next place on our life journey, our journey to wholeness.” – Jane Hardwicke Collings

Every birth leaves an imprint.

Not only on your body, but in your womb,  nervous system, your soul and your red thread.

For many women, birth wasn’t the powerful rite of passage they were promised.

It may have been rushed, medicalised, silenced, frightening, or overwhelming.

It may have involved loss of voice, separation, emergency, or deep grief.

Even when a healthy baby arrived, something inside may still feel unresolved, tender, or unheard.

Birth Story Listening is a space devoted to listening.

A ceremonial holding where your birth story, or stories, are spoken aloud, witnessed, and honoured without fixing, analysing, or reframing.

This isn’t about retelling the story to make it positive. It is about allowing your truth to be spoken and received, exactly as it is.

In this work, your body leads. Your womb remembers. Your voice becomes medicine.

I sit with you as a listener and witness, grounded in the lineage of shamanic womancraft, birth keeping, and deep feminine listening.

This session is focused specifically on birth as a rite of passage that may have been fractured, interrupted, or left incomplete.

There is no expectation to heal, forgive, or transform in a single sitting.

There is only presence.

Many women carry their birth stories quietly for years, sometimes decades. They minimise them, dismiss them, or hold them in isolation. When a birth story is not witnessed, it can remain alive in the body as tension, grief, anger, numbness, or self doubt. When it is listened to with reverence, something begins to soften. The nervous system feels met. The inner mother is heard. The woman is remembered.

Birth Story Listening is for you if:

• You feel unresolved about your birth experience, even if you cannot name why
• You experienced birth trauma, shock, fear, or loss of control
• You were not listened to, believed, or supported during birth
• You carry grief, anger, or sadness connected to how your baby was born
• You sense that your birth story is asking to be spoken and witnessed

This offering is an excerpt of the deeper shamanic womancraft sessions I offer, yet it stands as a potent threshold in its own right.

Birth is one of the great initiations of a woman’s life. When it’s honoured, even years later, it can restore a sense of wholeness, reclamation, and inner trust, and reveal the hidden gold and wisdom held within your story.

You are not broken.
Your birth was not a failure.
Your story matters.

In being heard, you remember yourself.
