About me

Following an unplanned C-section, I had difficulty processing my emotions. I was so happy and grateful to have a healthy baby but I felt very traumatised at the same time. Society often tells us "just get on with it" and focus solely on the joy of the new arrival. But I felt a deep need for my joy and grief to be allowed to co-exist.

In my experience, healing begins only when we stop sidelining the difficult feelings to make room for the good ones. By acknowledging the full spectrum of the birth experience—the beauty and the hardship—we allow our stories to become whole.
