1 - 1 Birth Trauma Support

1 in 3 birthing women describe their birth as traumatic.

Birth Trauma can effect bonding with your baby, breastfeeding, Postnatal Depression, PTSD, birth injuries and more.

There is not alot of support available and mother's are expected to navigate their way through parenthood whilst carrying this trauma.

My biggest belief is money should never be a barrier for mental health support. Sadly for many of us, this is our reality.

Hi, my name is Melissa Smith.

I am a mother of 2, a birth trauma survivor, and a Qualified Healing Birth Practitioner.

I offer support to women who have experienced trauma during pregnancy, birth and Postpartum.

All sessions are available in person (Taranaki based) or via zoom.

Unfortunately there is no funding for this work, so I am asking for your generosity, no matter how large or small, so more mother's can get the support that is so needed.
