Working with the transformative power of birth birth trauma specialist and somatic practitioner
Being pregnant and giving birth is a deeply personal experience and a significant rite of passage. People should emerge from the childbirth continuum feeling joyful, strong and confident, and babies should be welcomed in the most gentle and loving way possible. For many reasons in our modern culture this does not always occur. My work is to support parents through this transition. I offer somatic experiencing in pregnancy and postnatally, birth healing and debriefing, birth trauma resolution, somatic experiencing, shamanic midwifery support, and pregnancy support and coaching on skype or zoom.
Please explore my offerings (top of this page) and contact me for more information about how we might work together and if I can support you.
A New Chapter: Rebirthing the Guide Dear Community, Mothers, and Families,
For years, I have had the profound privilege of standing on the sacred threshold of life as an Independent Midwife. Holding space for women as they birth themselves and their babies with sovereignty and authenticity has been one of the greatest honours of my life.
Every birth is an initiation—not just for the mother, but for the guide. Being a guide at this sacred portal has shaped me from the inside out, After a profound four-year journey of personal transformation, navigating the deepest thresholds of life, death and loss, I find that I am in my own liminal birthing space of re-birthing myself and my life work.
I am actively stepping away from the physical practice of clinical midwifery, laying down my NMC registration with immense pride, deep gratitude, and a full heart. However, I am not stepping away from the threshold; I am moving deeper into it.
When the time is right, the doors to this new platform will open.
Thank you for trusting me with your births. I look forward to holding space for your transformations in the chapters to come.
With love and sovereignty,
Suyai Steinhauer
