Course Features

The Birthing Our Stories Workshop is a 6 week live course. We'll meet weekly on Zoom, each session is about 2 hours.

Each group has only 4 women. This way we keep the group intimate, safe, and confidential.

Each member will have her own dedicated session where you can allow your story to flow from wherever you feel it begins until it ends.

Experience the Cycle of Healing - Validate, Clarify, Process, Debrief, Heal.

Connect with an inner circle of mothers who are healing from traumatic birth

Course Structure

Session 1: Introduction to the Cycle of Healing, group culture and "rules", guidance on gathering your thoughts and finding the story you need to tell.

Sessions 2-5: In each session 1 woman is the storyteller. She shares her story, uninterrupted, starting wherever her story begins and ending where she feels her story ends. We then go through the cycle of healing together.

Session 6: Closing ceremony.

I felt so isolated! My daughter was a year old and it seemed that other moms were fine. I was not fine and I had no one to talk to about it. Birthing Our Stories showed me I’m not alone.

I had been having nightmares all the time since the birth of my twins. Two weeks after finishing the Birthing Our Stories workshop, I realized I hadn’t had any nightmares about my birth. For the first time, I felt at peace.
– Miriam

I know I can’t change what happened, but I can look back on it without fear and shame. I can look back on my birth experience with a positive feeling.

My deepest hope for you is that Birthing Our Stories can help you take the next step in your healing.

Hi, I’m Ayelet

I know what it’s like to have your feelings put down, to be told, “you should just be grateful that everyone is healthy.” Or to share my birth story only to be interrupted or told, “you think that’s bad, at least you didn’t have…”

I know what it’s like to carry around guilt, shame, grief, fear – and not have anyone to talk to about it because I should have “just gotten over it by now.”

My third son was born in an ambulance after my midwife abandoned me for her own reasons.

As a doula, I thought I was no longer worthy to do this work. How could I have messed up?!

My journey of healing made me realize what others like me need.
Four years and a healing birth experience later, I created Birthing Our stories workshops to support birth-givers who had a difficult or traumatic birth to find peace and healing, and to be able to move forward.

I want you to know that you are not alone! You deserve to be heard, your feelings are real!
And you can find peace.
I want that for you.
