Energy Rebirth

When I was pregnant with my first child it didn't occur to me that birth might be difficult. I knew there might be pain involved but was sure that afterward things would be fine and I'd continue on with my life and just add a baby to it. However.... My first baby was premature and spent time in the neonatal intensive care unit.  It was there that I learned the value of breast milk and nursing my preemie. It was a hard struggle to get her to nurse effectively and I had a lot of help. It was at that time that I decided to become a postpartum doula and help other mothers overcome the same struggles I had with my newborn. During the five years that passed between her birth and my decision to change careers I had two more babies, one another NICU baby and one a well birth. I saw the struggles that moms went through once they got home from the hospital and the lack of support they experienced. I was there to help them nurse but I started to notice a trend that many midwives had seen before. There were moms with baby blues, postpartum depression, and what appeared to be PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) from their birth experiences. Because I'm a nurse and I don't diagnose, I consulted the midwives and doulas I worked with to verify what I was seeing. Most of the midwives agreed that mothers who had been through a birth that was not according to their birth plan or upsetting had the baby blues and PPD. Many of the moms who had been through traumatic births, though, had what appeared to us to be a version of PTSD. These moms were unable to care for themselves and sometimes unable to care for their babies. We gave them the support they needed and made sure they had a support system in place around them, but there wasn't much more we could do besides refer them to a mental health professional. When I started doing Healing Touch and Reiki I created a modality that would help moms who have been through any type of birth that wasn't what was expected. It's called Energy Rebirth, and what I do is guide mom back through her birth experience using meditation, visualization, and energy techniques that help her re-set the energy of the birth experience. Our souls are here on a journey to learn life lessons. We can't go back and change what happened in the past, but we can rewrite the energetic story of a mother's birth, which is very healing for her and helps her reconnect with her baby. The first mom that went through Energy Rebirth with me had been through a traumatic birth ten years earlier. When I called her to follow up on her treatment, she said it was the first time since he was born that she was able to look back on the experience and smile. As a mom who has been through two tough births and used this method for healing, I offer it as a powerful tool to move past a birth that was not expected.  Book an Energy Rebirth session by calling me at 407-490-1376, or send an email to IntuitiveReconnections@gmail.com. Pre- and post-Rebirth healing sessions are available. As part of my Energy Rebirth initiative I'm supporting the International Caesarean Awareness Network fundraiser, Mom Prom. ICAN is a support group for mothers who have been through traumatic C-section experiences and is a safe place to discuss struggles, pain, and stress. Mom Prom is a night for moms to let loose and have a great time with like-minded friends.
