Birth Exploration
The miracle of birth and the journey to parenthood is a momentous experience. It is wonderful to openheartedly recognize and prepare for the arrival of precious new life.
I offer therapy sessions in Findhorn or via skype/zoom, please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or would like to chat about how I might assist you on your journey. Birth exploration sessions are similar to Active Listening sessions, though particularly focused around your birth experience or your anticipation of giving birth.
Prebirth - Pregnancy and the time prior to birth can be an awesome experience and an incredibly powerful and spiritual time in a woman's life. She and her body are going through enormous changes as she prepares to bring new life into the world. It can be a time when she is exceptionally sensitive and aware. Some times women have fears, anxieties or blockages that are best worked through prior to birth.
Now and then for various reasons, women feel pressure from the medical system to follow procedures and take advice from "experts" who apparently "know best". It is your body that they are talking about and only you can truly know it best. You have the right to make the choices that are best for you and your baby. I encourage women to explore, become informed and make the choices that are right for them. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for your to examine your options and choices.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or would like to chat about how I might assist you with your explorations.

"Fiona helped me process my birth story and anger about lack of breastfeeding support by listening, when everyone else was interested in the new baby. "
"I wanted to thank you for all your support and wisdom over the past year. You have set me on a path of deeper knowing and connection to myself. I feel so much more strongly aware of my feminine intuition and worth and for that I am eternally grateful to you" (Amy)
