Trauma doesn’t need to meet a certain definition to deserve care. If something happened—and it changed how you feel, think, or relate to yourself or others—that’s enough. Trauma is what you say it is, and your experience is valid. We support those navigating trauma related to birth, body, identity, relationships, or care itself, offering a safe and compassionate space to heal.
“It happened years ago, but I still think about it constantly.”
“I don’t even know if what happened ‘counts’ as trauma—but I feel shattered.”
“I’ve never told anyone. I don’t even
have the words.”
“I want to feel
safe again.
I just don’t know how.”
Let’s talk about the impact of trauma on reproductive mental health.
Trauma doesn’t only live in memory — it can live in the body, the nervous system, and even in how we show up in relationships and care settings. Trauma can affect everything from how we cope with pregnancy to how we experience healthcare exams, intimacy, medical decisions, and postpartum life.
Approximately 1 in 3 women
experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime.
Many individuals report trauma connected to birth, pregnancy loss, abortion, infertility, or medical mistreatment.
Trauma increases risk for perinatal anxiety, depression, PTSD, and avoidance of medical care.
Trauma is common in LGBTQIA+ communities, survivors of systemic racism, and individuals navigating reproductive coercion.
Care After the Hurt
You might be wondering what it would look like to receive care — medical, emotional, or relational — without retraumatization. We believe that care should be collaborative, not coerced. You deserve to feel safe, informed, and in control of your healing process.
You Don’t Have to Relive It to Heal
Trauma therapy doesn’t mean retelling every detail — it’s about feeling safe, managing triggers, and reclaiming yourself. We’ll support your healing on your terms, without pressure to share more than you’re ready for.
When your
Body Remembers Before You Do
Trauma shows up as fatigue, panic, shutdown, or avoidance—long before you have the words to explain why.
Your body may carry the imprint of something that your mind has tried to silence. That doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re protecting yourself.
Redefining Safety
Safety means more than physical surroundings — it includes emotional space, relational trust, and cultural respect. We honor your definition of safety and use it as the foundation for care.
Reclaiming
What Was Yours
Trauma can take things from us—trust, voice, joy, intimacy, even the feeling of being at home in our own bodies. Healing is not about erasing what happened. It's about reclaiming what you still have—and what you still deserve.
