Transforming Birth Trauma
Restoring Trust in the Body & the Intelligence of Birth
with Kristina Turner - Birth Trauma Integration Facilitator
Together, we repair the past and prepare the future.
I am trained in The Portal: Perinatal Training through Compassionate Inquiry, a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté.
My practice integrates trauma-aware care with a deep understanding of the hormonal design of birth, and the systemic conditions that so often disrupt it.
I support women in integrating the emotional, physiological, and spiritual impact of birth through compassionate dialogue and gentle somatic work.
This is a space to reclaim trust in your body, reconnect with your innate wisdom, and restore reverence for the sacred intelligence of birth.
Healing birth trauma isn’t about forgetting what happened - it’s about understanding, and transforming, how it lives within you.
The Approach:
This work is rooted in Compassionate Inquiry and informed by a deep understanding of the intelligence of birth. It reaches far beyond conventional therapy or coaching.
Transforming Birth Trauma is a process that honours body, psyche, and spirit as one continuum. It supports you to meet your experience not with judgment or blame, but with compassion and curiosity - creating the conditions for integration and post-traumatic growth.
Each session combines trauma-informed dialogue, somatic awareness, and spiritual insight. Together we explore how early life patterns and cultural conditioning may have shaped your response to birth, and how your body’s innate intelligence can guide the repair.
Ceremonial elements, aromatic and herbal allies, and gentle ritual practices may be woven into the process – which is always tailor-made for your individual needs. This allows healing to occur through embodied sensing as well as understanding.
This work helps you reclaim the full truth of your experience, restore trust in your body’s wisdom, and recognise the sacred dimension of birth as an initiatory event in a woman’s life.
A Space for Healing and Integration
Birth leaves an imprint in the body, the nervous system, and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.
When that experience is rushed, overly medicalised, or disempowering, we can be left feeling alone or disconnected, with a lingering sense of shame.
My work helps you to distinguish what your body did right from what was disrupted by external interference — revealing the wisdom and strength that were always yours.
Through this understanding, new layers of compassion, confidence, and peace begin to unfold.
