Your birth story deserves to be heard.
A gentle, guided space to walk through the story of your birth, whether it was a few months ago or many years ago, and begin to see it in a new light.
What is birth story listening?
Birth story listening is a guided process for walking through your birth story, one step at a time, so you can begin to see it in a new light.
You don't need to know where to start or what to say. I lead the way with a clear structure and gentle, intentional questions. Most people need just one session.
It's for anyone who wants to reflect on a birth or see it from a new perspective, whether it went mostly to plan, was deeply difficult, or was somewhere in between:
- People who have given birth
- Partners and birth workers who were present at a birth
- Births from 3 months ago to many years ago
How a session works
Choose a time
Pick a time that suits you through my online scheduler. You'll get a Zoom link to join from home.
Walk through your story
I'll guide you through your story step by step over 60–75 minutes. Please find a private, quiet space where you can be child-free for the whole session.
New roots
As we close, you'll begin to feel the first gentle shift—new roots forming around the story you shared, offering a fresh way to hold it.
I offer a sliding scale so this work can be accessible to more families. Choose the amount that reflects your resources at this moment—paying on the higher end helps support those who need to pay less. You'll pick $44, $66, or $88 when you book.
“I deeply appreciated Kristina's gentle presence and listening ear. Without questions that were too leading but with ones that were soft and inviting, Kristina offered a process that brought me new perspective of my birth story and allowed me to make more sense of what happened and connect with my strength. I am deeply grateful for Kristina's guiding wisdom that allowed deeper healing for me, even years after the birth.”
Hi, I'm Kristina.
I'm a birth story listener, running coach, and mother of two. I came to this work through my own experience: after a difficult second birth, birth story listening helped me make sense of what happened and gave me a new way to hold my story. It also sparked a deep desire to support others the way I had been supported.
I've spent years alongside women and mothers, coaching runners through comebacks and seasons of rebuilding, and volunteering with RESOLVE and PEPS to support families through fertility challenges and early parenthood.
My hope is simple: to walk with you through the moments that change you, so you can move forward feeling more whole, more understood, and more connected to yourself.
When you're ready, I'm here to listen.
