Have you have a traumatic birth? 
Are you unsure if your birthing experience was traumatic? 
How do you know? 
AND
What do you do if it was? 
How do we talk about our birthing without trauma dumping and what do we do when we are listening to someone trauma dumping?
 
Integrative perinatal counsellor & psychotherapist, Elenja O'Neill, has all the answers and a truck tonne of help for all mothers recovering from their birthing trauma.
 
Elenja is an integrative perinatal counsellor & psychotherapist with a passion for creating a safe, judgment-free space for mums to feel heard, supported, and championed. A mum to a little boy herself, Elenja understands the often tumultuous nature of transitioning to motherhood, with personal experience of navigating perinatal mental health challenges and the emotional roller coaster that is becoming a mum. After sustaining a birth injury with her son’s birth, Elenja turned her postgraduate research focus to helping mums navigate the psychological challenges associated with maternal birth injury. She aims to continue her research next year and embarks on postgraduate Psychology, with the completion of another Masters degree. As such, she is uniquely placed to help mums who are dealing with the grief, frustration, embarrassment, and isolation often associated with pelvic organ prolapse, levator ani injuries, obstetric fistula, severe perineal tearing, and c-section injuries.

Elenja lives on the NSW Central Coast (Darkinjung Land) with her husband and son, and is currently pregnant with another little boy to add to the gang! She loves all things maternal mental health and contributes to this space in a meaningful way.
