Reclaim Your Power: Heal, Release, and Thrive on Your VBAC Journey
Your VBAC journey isn’t just about birth—it’s about healing the past, releasing fear, and rediscovering trust in yourself and your body.
Whether you’re carrying the weight of a traumatic first birth, overwhelmed by fear of the unknown, or navigating the emotional complexity of preparing for a VBAC, I’m here to help.
Let’s work together to turn fear into confidence, and past wounds into a powerful story of strength and resilience.
I’m Philippa, a trauma therapist, birth worker, and VBAC mumma of four. I’ve walked this path myself, and now, I help women like you rewrite their birth stories and approach VBAC with confidence, clarity, and strength.
You’re Not Alone, and You’re Not Broken
If you’ve been through a ceasarean birth, you might feel:
Angry, disappointed, or robbed of the experience you hoped for.
Unsure if your body is capable of giving birth vaginally.
Overwhelmed by fear of the unknown or the possibility of “failure.”
Haunted by moments of your first birth or postpartum that didn’t feel safe or supported.
It’s okay to feel this way. And it’s also okay to want more for yourself and your next birth.
Your VBAC isn’t just about proving that you can do it—it’s about reclaiming your power, healing old wounds, and stepping into your next birth and parenthood with renewed confidence and connection.
What If This Time Felt Different?
Imagine walking into your birth feeling:
Calm—knowing you’ve worked through the fears and doubts holding you back.
Strong—because you’ve healed from the past and reconnected with your body.
Supported—with tools and strategies to face challenges and stay grounded.
Excited—ready to meet your baby with clarity, confidence, and joy.
This is possible, and I’d love to help you get there.
How I Can Help You
I’ve created three transformative sessions to support VBAC mums at every stage of the journey:
1. Birth Trauma Healing
If your first birth—or moments in pregnancy or postpartum—left you with emotional wounds, this session is for you.
In a safe, compassionate space, we’ll:
Unpack and process your story, whether it’s fear, grief, anger, or guilt.
Help you find clarity and peace in the moments that still feel raw.
Rebuild trust in yourself and your choices, so you can move forward with strength.
2. Birth Fear Release
If the thought of giving birth again makes your heart race or stomach churn, you’re not alone.
This session will help you:
Name and release the fears that are weighing you down.
Build a practical toolkit to manage fear and anxiety.
Step into your VBAC with calm and confidence, knowing you’re prepared for whatever comes.
3. Emotional Empowerment with TRTP
Sometimes, it’s not just fear or trauma that needs healing—it’s the everyday stressors and emotional baggage we carry into pregnancy, birth, and parenting.
As a certified TRTP (The Richards Trauma Process) practitioner, I help mums heal from both “Big T” and “Little T” traumas that impact their journey.
This session will help you:
Reduce anxiety and feel more present and connected.
Build resilience to face the inevitable challenges of parenthood.
Feel emotionally equipped for pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
Why I Do This Work
When I had my first baby, I was unprepared for how much her birth would change me—and not in the way I expected. After an unnecessary ceasarean, I was left with emotional scars that took years to heal.
But when it came time for my VBACs, I knew I wanted more than just a vaginal birth. I wanted to feel empowered, respected, and whole.
Now, I use my experiences and training to help other VBAC mums step into their power, heal from the past, and rewrite their stories.
Your Journey Starts Here
You don’t have to carry the weight of the past or face the unknown alone. Together, we can help you heal, release fear, and approach your VBAC with the confidence and strength you deserve.
