Birth Trauma Support
You don't have to just get over it.
Birth can be beautiful. It can also be difficult, frightening, overwhelming or traumatic.
If you're struggling with your pregnancy, birth or postnatal experience, I'm here to listen, without judgement, and help you understand what you need next.
Or find out how 3 Step Rewind can help you.
“I was feeling quite traumatised after the birth of my 3rd child during the Covid pandemic. Kerry melted away all of those feelings of anger, hurt and frustration that i still held onto about my treatment during birth and left me with all the warm and loving memories of meeting my daughter for the first time. I am so glad that I found Kerry and the re-wind process, it’s helped me so much to be able to move on. I highly recommend for anyone else struggling”.

How it Works
The Three Step Rewind takes place over 3 sessions that take place one week apart.
In the first session, we focus on talking through your experience in a safe non judgemental space. If you prefer not to talk through your experience, we can focus on the feelings that you have when you think back to your memory or experience. We will gently explore how you would like to feel.
The session will finish with a guided relaxation which you can also listen to at home in between sessions. This session usually lasts up to 2 hours.
In the second session is the “rewind” element which focuses on helping you to dissociate the negative feelings that you have linked to your memory and helping you to file that memory away as we normally do with most of our day to day experiences. This session usually lasts an hour.
The third session we focus on how you are now feeling, the positive changes that you have noticed and support and focus on moving forward. This session usually lasts for an hour.
Occasionally it may be necessary to repeat session 2.
