Holistic birth debriefing

"I saw Sophie after being diagnosed with postnatal depression and anxiety. I was hesitant to reach out and unsure what to talk about, but as soon as I sat down with Sophie it felt easy and natural, it was a safe space that I didn’t know how badly I needed. I was never met with judgement and I always appreciated how relatable she was. My time with Sophie became an important part of my recovery, it was more helpful than I could ever have imagined. I am so grateful for the compassion and grace that she gave me, when I couldn’t give it to myself. "

The perinatal season can be both beautiful and incredibly challenging. You might be carrying anxiety, grief, or trauma while longing for calm, clarity, and connection. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by advice or unseen in your struggles. I created Gentle Journeys for women and families like you—those seeking support that goes deeper than information. You deserve care that’s nurturing, respectful, and attuned to every layer of your experience.
Through trauma-informed counselling, birth preparation, and debriefing, I support you to feel more grounded, in control, and connected to your inner strength. This isn’t about fixing you—it’s about walking alongside you with compassion as you heal, grow, and rebuild. Gentle Journeys is your soft landing place when life feels heavy, and your starting point when you’re ready to rise with renewed trust and wholeness.
