BIRTH STORIES COME IN MANY FORMS
For some, they unfold with joy. For others, they bring confusion, pain, or memories that linger in the body and mind long after the moment has passed—after the birth, the examination, the silence, or the loss.
You may be living with:
- A birth that keeps returning in flashes or fragments.
- A sense of sadness or shame that your experience didn’t match what you had hoped for.
- Tightness in your chest or breath that shortens when you speak about it.
- Tears that come easily, or not at all.
- Fear around becoming pregnant again, or giving birth again.
- A quiet but persistent feeling of failure.
If these words resonate with you, know that you are not alone. You are not “too sensitive.” You are not overreacting.
These are real responses to real experiences.
And you don’t have to sit with them alone.
GIVE YOUR STORY THE SPACE IT NEEDS!
About Birth Processing
In our time together, we listen to the story your body and mind is telling. We follow sensations. We welcome emotion. There is no need to explain or justify what you feel. Every layer, every pause, every silence is part of the process.
Together, we will:
- Make space for what wants to emerge.
- Follow the body’s lead, gently and respectfully.
- Notice what feels alive, what feels stuck, what wants to be voiced.
- Use reflection, movement, and breath to explore from within.
- Trust the process—your process.
Processing doesn’t mean forgetting or rewriting your story. It means being in relationship with it—allowing it to settle differently in the body. Because while we cannot change the past, we can create space to integrate it.

(RE)BIRTH yourself and your family
Birth is a powerful and transformative experience, one that forever changes a woman’s (and couple’s) life. However, the path to parenthood isn’t always smooth. Many women face unexpected emotional challenges before, during, and after childbirth. These challenges can leave them feeling confused, overwhelmed, and even traumatized, often with physical manifestations.
While they often feel alone, their experiences are quite common:
- One-third of mothers describe their birth as traumatic.
- One in three women experience sexual assault during their lifetime, while one in seven women experience rape. This can significantly impact their birth experience.
- In Israel, more than 26,000 women undergo fertility treatments annually.
- 1,200 stillbirths and 16,000 terminations every year, can leave women feeling isolated and unsupported.
As a birth educator with a background in gender studies and trauma awareness, I often heard stories. Stories told quietly, sometimes with shame, sometimes with disbelief, sometimes not at all. I felt their weight, and I knew I wasn’t equipped to meet them with the care they deserved.
I wanted to be able to stay present, without fear of retraumatizing. To walk with someone in their pain, without rushing them through it.
That’s why I became a certified facilitator in B.O.T. – Birth Oriented Thinking.
B.O.T. is not a therapy, and it is not a method. It is a way of being. It is about recognizing birth as a whole-body, whole-person experience. It is about creating spaces where stories can be told and felt.
I offer both birth processing sessions and emotional support before birth. Learn more about each option below:
B.O.T.: Supporting Emotional Wellbeing Throughout Your Birth Journey
A Place for Emotional Challenges
B.O.T. (Birth Oriented Thinking) is a specialized field that emerged from the growing recognition of the emotional impact surrounding childbirth. Recognizing the emotional needs in the field of birth, B.O.T. was developed for and by professionals working in the field of birth, including doulas, midwives, OB-GYNs, birth educators, psychologists, social workers, and breastfeeding consultants.
Preparing and Processing
B.O.T. sessions create a safe and supportive space for individuals and couples to address and process emotional challenges related to all aspects of their childbirth journey, from fertility and pregnancy through birth and postpartum. This can include:
- Processing past experiences: Birth trauma, loss of breastfeeding, miscarriages, invasive medical procedures, or fertility treatments.
- Emotional preparation for upcoming birth: Addressing anxieties before becoming pregnant, navigating challenges faced by survivors of sexual abuse while pregnant, making difficult birth decisions, or processing fears related to upcoming medical exams or procedures.
Rite of Passage
B.O.T. acknowledges childbirth as a profound journey, impacting you and your partner emotionally and psychologically, as well as physically. B.O.T. sessions help explore and process these aspects of your birth experience.
I also offer B.O.T. meetings before birth; you can learn more about them here:
