The journey you have helped me ride, has been one of self healing, understanding of my body and its state and how to be kind to it, but this honestly started and I can confidently say I was able to rewrite this chapter of my life from the help of yourself and Meegs at your beautifully curated birth trauma retreat. I arrived at this retreat carrying more than I realised, as well as stuff from childhood that really played a part in my birth trauma journey. I didn’t know how much of it I had been holding alone until I stepped into a space where every part of my story was welcomed without judgment.
Throughout the retreat, I felt seen in a way I hadn’t since giving birth. The sessions and exercises throughout helped me understand my trauma, the bodywork helped me release what I’d been storing for so long, and the group sharing reminded me that I am not broken and I am not alone. Bit by bit, I felt my strength returning.
What surprised me most was how safe I felt to be vulnerable especially in front of strangers who all felt like lifetime friends by the end of it. Leah and Meegs created such a compassionate environment letting me feel lighter, more grounded, and finally in control of me, my mind and my body.
If you are considering this retreat, know that you deserve this space. It won’t erase the past, but it will help you reclaim your story, your voice, and your sense of self. It has truly been a turning point in my healing which I actually didn’t think was possible.
