As an Active Birth & Yoga teacher with nearly 30 years of experience, I have long provided support for women during the pre and postpartum periods. I offer birth debriefs to help process experiences where the birth may not have unfolded as hoped, a need that has only grown in our post-COVID landscape.
To further extend my support, I completed training in Birth Trauma Release using the 3 Step Rewind approach. This method is designed to help those who have experienced trauma during the perinatal period or have unresolved emotions linked to their fertility journey. I bring my extensive experience in supporting women through pregnancy and new motherhood to these sessions, often incorporating body and breath awareness work to facilitate healing.
If you have been feeling highly emotional in the days and weeks following birth, or if these emotions persist as flashbacks, anxiety, or hyper vigilance, this may be a sign that you are dealing with unresolved trauma. Until these events are fully acknowledged, they can continue to resurface and cause distress, affecting your daily life.
Please feel free to reach out if you would like to connect and explore how I could support you on your healing journey.

This is step 1 of the full 3 step rewind process, here you are invited to share your birth or other perinatal experience. We follow this by looking at how this effects your life now and where you want to be in the future. The session ends with a wonderful relaxation to reground you and will be recorded for you to return to in the following week.
On it’s own this step can be incredibly healing and provide clarity on your experience and a place where you can move forward positively.

What is the 3 Step Rewind Recovery?
Devised by Alexandra Heath Traumatic Birth Recovery 3 Step Rewind is a gentle, safe, and effective treatment. It incorporates Rewind, a simple NLP technique. Working together over 3 sessions, this process activates your own natural ability to heal by using deep relaxation, guided use of your memory and the imagination.
By becoming free of the PTSD symptoms, it is possible to feel more positive about your situation and to begin enjoying parenthood. This technique releases the feelings associated with the birth or other events in the perinatal period, so that it is possible to look back and remember the event with neutral feelings, the traumatic event can still be remembered but it no longer provokes anxiety.
This can be a truly transformational process as Rewind will lift the feelings about your birth, or any other events that effected you negatively within your perinatal period. This gives you an opportunity to think differently about your future and how to move forwards positively. You will realise you can choose different ways to respond to situations and you will release any limiting beliefs. You can create a picture of how you would like to feel, what you will be doing, how you will be responding, what will have changed, and how your relationships would be different if you no longer had the feelings associated with any trauma you may have experienced in your baby’s birth, or during any other perinatal experience.
“Lynn was absolutely amazing. She made me feel listened to, validated and gave me hope that my feelings around birth could improve. After the very first session I already felt so much better. Unresolved feelings did come up, but Lynn had pre-warned me that might be the case and mostly I felt energised. I hadn’t linked it to the session until the second one came about but I was motivated to make decisions that made me feel more positive about motherhood and strengthened my bond with my little one. By the last session I felt like I had already started to resolve my feelings but I was amazed by how simply I detached from those previously persistent negative feelings.”
