healing birth trauma
Have you experienced a difficult or traumatic pregnancy or birthing journey? Birth trauma can be healed and processed through having a safe space to share what happened, and learn about why you may have felt disempowered, unsafe, unheard, or unsupported in your pregnancy or birth experience. Birth Trauma Therapy sessions are available for: women and parents who have given birth, partners or support people who attended a birth which was difficult or traumatic to witness, and for parents/caregivers who are concerned about their child’s birth trauma. Birth Trauma Therapy is also offered for individuals who are wanting to understand and process their own past birth experience and emergence into the world.

Aldebaran Healing
the meaning of the name
Aldebaran and Matariki by Giuseppe Donatiello, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons
Aldebaran refers to the fixed star Aldebaran - the brightest star in the constellation of Taurus. Aldebaran comes from the Arabic name, Al Dabarān, and translates as ‘the follower’ of Pleiades, or Matariki as it is known in Aotearoa-NZ. One of the Māori names for Aldebaran is Whetū-kura. This image of the night sky shows the blue Matariki - Pleiades in the top left corner, and the bright golden Whetū-kura - Aldebaran. Many cultures around the world were traditionally deeply in touch with the cosmos, and the stars were connected to life on earth in many ways, e.g. navigation, hunting and gathering, agriculture, art, storytelling, divination, healing, prayer, fate and destiny …
The name Aldebaran Healing was chosen in remembrance to the heavens from which humanity seeks guidance, inspiration and healing.
