It’s Birth Trauma Awareness Week. This year, we focus on marginalised groups facing extra barriers in maternity care, from racial disparities to challenges faced by disabled and neurodivergent mothers. Let’s listen. Let’s learn. Let’s do better. #GoodMaternityCareforAll #BTAW25

What is existential coaching?
It’s a philosophical approach to implement change in a person’s life, which is deeply personal.
Teaching clients to claim their complexity and empower them to take ownership of their lives.
