Birth Trauma Support and 3-Step Rewind

Hello, I'm Gillian, based in Ireland and serving clients nationwide online.

My journey beyond birth support began with my own experience. Following an unplanned C-section, I felt two things that the world around me didn't seem to know how to handle — gratitude for my healthy baby, and deep grief for the natural birth I was hoping for.

I remember trying to tell the nurses how I really felt outside of my joy. Every time, the subject changed. As if joy and grief in the same breath were somehow impossible for a new mother to carry. That silence taught me more about the gap in maternal care than anything else ever could. I was told, in so many ways, to get on with it. But I knew that real healing could only begin when both the joy and the pain were allowed to co-exist.

That conviction led me to pursue everything I could to understand the mind, the body, and how we heal. With a BA in Psychology from Dublin City University, a 200hr Yoga & Breathwork certification, and training in Psychological First Aid, I went on to specialise in NLP and postnatal mental health — driven entirely by a deep personal commitment to maternal and parental wellbeing.

I understand from the inside how it feels to need support that truly sees you. That's why I offer a space where your full birth story — the beautiful and the painful — is heard, honoured, and gently healed.

I support mothers and birth partners across Ireland and beyond, entirely online, to process their birth experiences to reclaim their sense of self.

I bring lived experience of birth trauma alongside my professional training — because I believe the most meaningful support comes from both.
