Everything you have lived has a story, is a story. Every story is a story within a story, within a story, and stories are ever-evolving even when the story you are struggling with seems stuck. When trying to make sense of what happened, you may feel like you are caught in a revolving door of internal conflict: feeling one thing but telling yourself you should feel another, or nagging thoughts such as, "What if, or if only," or "I should have, or they should have …"

If you have felt misunderstood or not heard when you've told your story, make an appointment with a birth story listener who is trained, professional, and empathic.

Plan to be surprised at how much can change in an hour,
even when you can't imagine change can happen at all.

Telling your story over and over may not be enough to shift how you feel about your birth experience. With the guidance of a skilled birth story mentor, you will not be telling your story in the same way, which means you will leave with a different perspective-one that might surprise you. In your Birth Story Medicine session, you will not only be deeply heard, but you will have the opportunity to look at what happened in a new and more compassionate way.

"It's unbelievable all that happened in an hour-long session. It's amazing. I imagined I would just come and tell you what happened, so I couldn't quite understand how it could help. But, the process totally shifted the way I look at what happened. I feel a burden was lifted from my heart. It's such a relief." -Michal, Jerusalem, Israel

And, you may be surprised to experience telling your story to a trained pro. Empathic story-listener who listens attentively, without judgment….

Read the Agreement between Storyteller and Story Mentor

Please read before making your appointment.

I understand that:

My birth story mentor may be a birth-related professional, however s/he is not a therapist. The Birth Story Medicine process is not therapy, and is exclusively limited to talking through a personal experience related to pregnancy, birth, or postpartum. A birth story process may include talking about a spouse or family member who participated in the birth, or about issues related to meeting or caring for my newborn, however, my mentor does not offer marital therapy for broader issues or parenting issues in general. My birth story mentor is not trained to diagnose or treat depression, perinatal mood disorders, childhood sexual or religious abuse, sexuality, career conflicts, or post-traumatic stress due to traumatic life events, and the like.

If I have any questions about these boundaries it is my responsibility to make inquiries before or during the session and to seek appropriate care from a trained therapist if such issues come up during a birth story process.

If concerns about the medical management of my pregnancy, labor, or postpartum exceed a simple explanation, my birth story mentor will encourage me to meet with my caregiver to review the events and my chart.

This Agreement is binding for me, my heirs, and legal representatives. I agree to hold harmless my birth
story mentor or agents associated with Birth Story Medicine, and to withhold any claims of liability for
unresolved emotional or psychological distress due to my childbirth experience during or following my birth story session.

When a flower is separated from its roots and garden, it cannot thrive or live long—so it is with the soul of a birth story when it is separated from the storyteller’s whole life.
