It’s the kind of sickness that leaves you questioning everything...
Why is this happening to me?
How will I get through this?
Will I ever feel like myself again?
These questions can spiral into guilt, shame, and self-blame.
So many of the mums I support wonder if they could’ve done something differently, if they’re failing their baby or their family, or if their body is betraying them. HG has a way of breaking down not just your body but also your spirit.
HG isn't not caused by something you did or didn’t do. It’s not a reflection of your strength, your worth, or your love for your baby. And yet, the mental and emotional toll can feel just as heavy as the physical symptoms.
When HG is dismissed or downplayed, when you’re told “it’s just part of pregnancy” or to “stay positive”, it only deepens the isolation. But your experience is real, your pain is valid, and the support you deserve starts with acknowledgment.
HG doesn’t just end when the nausea stops. For many, the trauma stays long after the pregnancy. Flashbacks, avoidance of triggers, fear of future pregnancies, and feelings of helplessness can stay with you. But it doesn’t have to define your story.
We understand the toll HG takes, and we’re here to help you process the heavy thoughts that often come with it. You deserve a space to untangle the guilt, find your sense of self, and heal. We can work through the emotional impact, so you don’t have to carry this weight alone.
If this resonates with you or someone you know, please share this post to raise awareness. HG is more than physical, it’s a full-body, full-heart experience, and no one should navigate it without support.
Fewer people talk about what it does to the relationship.
The disconnection, the distance, the feeling of living alongside someone you love but can’t quite connect with… that’s not a sign the relationship is broken. It’s a sign that something happened that neither of you has had the support to process yet.
Trauma doesn’t just live in one person. It lives in the space between people too.
If this resonates, the link in my bio has more on how our perinatal-focused couples counselling works. We would love to support you.
After a traumatic birth, it can make complete sense that you would want to keep your baby close.
Not because you do not trust your partner. Or because you think you are the only parent who matters. Or because you are trying to shut anyone out.
But because your body remembers what it felt like when things became frightening, unpredictable, rushed, painful, or out of your control.
And when your body remembers that, letting go can feel enormous.
So when your partner picks the baby up and does things differently, something in you might tense before you have even had time to think. You might hover. You might correct. You might feel irritated, panicked, watchful, or unable to relax. You might be exhausted and desperate for help, but the moment help arrives, your whole system reacts as if you need to take over again.
That's a very lonely place to be, because on the outside it can look like you are being controlling. On the inside, it may feel like you are trying to stop the worst thing from happening again.
Birth trauma doesn't always stay neatly within the memory of the birth.
It can follow into feeding, sleeping, settling, appointments, separation, and parenting.
It can make ordinary moments feel loaded.
It can make your partner’s care feel like something you need to supervise, even when another part of you knows they love your baby too.
This is not a parenting flex. It's also not proof that you are difficult, dramatic, or “too much”. It may be a trauma response looking for the control it lost when you were at your most vulnerable.
Healing doesn't mean forcing yourself to hand the baby over and just “get over it”. It begins with noticing what is happening with compassion. With understanding that your protectiveness may have a story. And with the right support, that grip can start to soften, not because you love your baby any less, but because your body no longer has to stay on high alert to keep them safe.
DM me the word BIRTH and I’ll send you my guide, 7 Signs Birth Trauma Is Impacting Your Parenting so you can learn more.
It can leave a couple caught in trauma patterns they do not understand, cannot interrupt, and cannot repair alone.
Individual counselling supports each person’s healing.
Couples counselling helps address what the trauma has started doing between them.
If that is where you and your partner feel stuck, send me a DM and we can chat about how couples counselling can help.

Halfway through, I got the flu. Not the sniffles, the kind of flu that absolutely f**** with you.
The kind where your body feels heavy, everything takes more effort, and you suddenly realise how much harder it is to cope with things you’d normally take in your stride.
How much harder do things feel when your nervous system and body are under strain??
Things I would normally have more patience for suddenly felt like too much. Noise felt so much louder. Demands felt sharper. I felt touched out faster. I had less room. Less buffer. Less access to the version of myself I wanted to be.
I think about this all the time in motherhood. And as a birth trauma counsellor, I see it all the time in others.
Because for many women, this is not just about being tired or needing a break. When you have experienced birth trauma, your nervous system carries so much long after the birth is over. So when parenting feels relentless, when your baby will not settle, your toddler is melting down, everyone needs something at once, and your body feels like it is going from zero to one hundred, that is not always about anger, impatience, or you somehow failing. Sometimes it’s trauma physiology.
Sometimes it is a nervous system that learnt in birth that things were not safe, and is still responding from that place. That can look like yelling, snapping, feeling rage come up quickly, shutting down, going numb, or feeling completely unlike yourself as a mother. And this is the part so many women feel deeply ashamed of.
Because you love your children deeply.
Because this is not how you want to respond.
Because you thought you would be calmer, steadier, more in control than this.
This is why healing birth trauma often needs more than parenting strategies. In my work, that can include trauma therapy, EMDR therapy, and helping women make sense of what their body is doing and why.
If this feels close to home, know that your reactions do not tell the whole story. 💛
I often see mums needing to talk about the birth because their body is still trying to make sense of what happened. They want their partner to sit with them in it, to acknowledge how hard it was, and to help hold some of what came after. So when he goes quiet, looks away, changes the subject, or says he does not know what to say, it can feel incredibly lonely.
I see again and again that his shutdown is not always about not caring. Sometimes it is freeze. He feels the helplessness, guilt or fear underneath it all, and his system just stops. He goes blank, quiet, distant.
Sometimes it is flight. He gets busy, changes the subject, focuses on what needs doing, or pushes to move on because slowing down feels too exposing.
Sometimes he could not protect you in the moment, and talking about the traumatic birth brings that sense of failure straight back.
Sometimes his confidence took a real hit after the birth, and now he is frightened of saying the wrong thing and making it worse. I often find that for some partners, silence feels safer than getting it wrong.
That does not make it any less painful for you. But it can sometimes help to understand that one of you may be reaching for the conversation, while the other is backing away from it for reasons that live in the nervous system, not just in the relationship.
This is often the work in couples counselling after birth trauma. Not just helping you communicate better, but helping both of you make sense of the fear, shame, freeze, flight and disconnection underneath the silence, so the conversation starts to feel safer for you both.
Head to the link in my bio to find out more about couples counselling, or send me a DM and we can talk about whether it's the right fit for you both.
This is the #1 question I get asked MOST from mums struggling with the fallout of birth trauma, even if they themselves don’t recognise their birth as traumatic.
For many of them, it’s the realisation that their vision of what they’d hoped parenting to be isn’t playing out. In fact, they’ve realised they’re parenting in a way that’s far from what they imagined or wanted.
Is this you too?
Maybe you’re unable to regulate their emotions, and have outbursts of absolute rage, then are immediately overwhelmed with guilt and shame.
Or you’re spending hours scrolling your phone instead of interacting or playing with your child. Then ruminate at night about all the ways you’ve failed that day.
Maybe you physically recoil when your child tries to hug you, unable to tolerate physical touch., but struggle to trust others enough to leave your child with them. Your partner included.
If this IS you, I have something for you, based on my 14 years working with thousands of birthing people as a Birth Trauma Therapist.

#afterbirth #birthinperth #birthmatters #mumsmatter
We've dedicated our careers to supporting women who are navigating these complex emotions and experiences.
We work with clients who are living daily with the fallout of a traumatic birth experience, and are terrified to potentially do it all again one day.
We support women who are dealing with what feels like depression or anxiety, and are struggling to connect with their baby as a result.
And we help clients who are grieving the loss of a pregnancy or infant, and feel that the pain is unbearable.
We support those battling with the attachment wounds of their own childhood that are showing up in their parenting.
We work with couples navigating seemingly insurmountable relationship ruptures.
And we help clients who are struggling to do it all alone.
Our unique RISE framework, combined with evidence-based therapies like EMDR, allows us to guide our clients through their healing journey. RISE is a cohesive framework, developed around what I found to be missing from my own healing journey, and now guides the work I do to successfully support my clients Australia-wide through trauma resolution. Each and every client is supported to move through this framework in a way that is as unique and individual as themselves and their experiences.
We know that asking for support can feel incredibly vulnerable, especially when you're already feeling overwhelmed. But we're here to hold space for you, without judgment. Our goal is to help you process your experiences, heal from trauma, and ultimately, to experience the motherhood you had envisioned.
Our deepest desire is for you to feel fully emotionally present and available for your child (and partner), without the invisible wounds of birth trauma holding you back. We want you to feel empowered, connected, and joyful in your role as a mother. If any of this resonates with you, please know that you're not alone.
Send us a DM or contact us via our website (link in bio) and let's discuss your needs and next steps. We're here to support you, every step of the way.
Did you know the reason I became a therapist is because I struggled too? And it took me 7 years to seek help.
Let me share my journey with you…
Throughout my pregnancy and birth journeys, I experienced many challenges that were at vast odds with the expectations I held for motherhood.
Antenatal and postnatal depression, trauma, multiple pregnancy losses, secondary infertility, breastfeeding trauma, multiple failed IVF attempts…
Between 2007-2014, our family navigated so many challenges, and I kept much of this to myself. We were healthy, so I should be grateful, right?
Yet, internally, this mumma was struggling deeply.
In 2015 the cracks that were being carefully held together finally started to widen. I didn’t feel like myself and I felt so deeply alone. I felt like I was the only one struggling.
I couldn’t articulate any of this to anyone…even to myself. So, I put on a mask and carried on…
Then one evening my husband sent me a text message from the next room telling me he loved me with all his heart, urging me to seek help. It took me 3 weeks from that night to acknowledge his words. But he was right… I needed help.
While it took me a long time to find someone to support me who actually understood, the decision to seek support was the catalyst for change and transformation in my life.
As I moved toward healing, I realised I wasn’t alone. So many mothers face similar challenges, feeling disconnected from themselves and those around them.
I knew that if I could heal, I could help others to do the same. That’s why I became a therapist - to create a space where others could find connection, understanding and trauma-informed support.
I created my RISE framework to guide women through birth and perinatal trauma recovery to find healing. And within this framework my practice has now supported hundreds of women to do just that.
If my story resonates with you, I'd love for you to let me know below.
I want you to know healing is waiting for you too.
Thank you for being here. I'm so grateful to share this space with you 💛
