Transforming birth stories 〰️
.
Through my own parenting journey, as a nurse for thousands of families, and an educator for hundreds of perinatal teams, I have learned that within the struggles of being a parent and a practitioner, connecting to what first set us off on the journey is the medicine we need to care for ourselves and others. Our desire to serve, our care and concern for our baby or our patient, and our true loving nature helps us to be the person, the practitioner, the parent we seek to be.
I am here to be your guide, your mentor, your teacher. Whether you are a new mom or a veteran midwife, you deserve to tell your story, to be seen and heard, to learn and grow.
With an inspiring and engaging approach and some practical tools, I will help you transform your perspective and find a new way to be the parent or perinatal professional you long to be.
“Farrah worked with me in preparation of my fourth birth. I had traumas from my first three births and I was looking for healing, and to feel more empowered. Farrah helped me process the traumas, and find a new way to tell my birth stories. A retelling that came with the inner peace and forgiveness I was seeking. I can't even fully describe HOW this happened, but it was an amazing journey. I felt listened to, cherished, my experiences validated. And then Farrah helped me on the path to seeing strength in my experiences and I was able to release negativity and see more beauty in my births. It was a tremendous experience.”
“I felt listened to, cherished, my experiences validated”
