I highly recommend this course. It helped me understand why my birth was still upsetting me. I'm no longer blaming myself and now have tools to deal with my anger and jealousy. I'm so grateful.

Much like a gardener, Allison's course offers the fertilizer that helps you grow from what you already have within. She offers tangible actions to begin healing, validation, real life experience and genuine community within this course. If you are in pain- you're not alone. If you are ready/hoping to grow- you will within this course. It is a worthwhile investment and I highly recommend it. You will be grateful you took it. I know I am.

In Allison's words - Healing is possible and probable...If you want to give yourself a chance to feel this opening new chapter towards healing, try her course. It will save you a lot of time and energy on researching what is next and where to begin.

This was so informative to me as I genuinely didn’t understand everything after being diagnosed with severe postpartum. I have a better understanding now of my own birth trauma and how I can use EMDR to help heal some of what I’m feeling and the trauma associated with it.

It's been 15 months since my unplanned C-section and I wish I would have taken this course earlier. Some of the information I already had from PSI and therapy, but the way Allison organized and delivered the information really made it make sense.

I really enjoyed learning and experiencing new things through this course. Healing looks different for everyone, but relating to other women was a huge part of my healing journey. I don't feel as isolated or alone after moving through this course.

I highly recommend this course to every C-section mum. It's such a superbly designed program and that's no doubt because Alison has walked the walk with her own lived experience of unexpected c-section. What helped me wasn't the carefully curated high quality information (which was great, don't get me wrong), it was the validation and compassion Alison shared particularly during her videos - I felt incredibly seen and connecting with other women who "get it" seems to be the most healing thing for me. Thank you so much Alison for putting this together, I can only imagine how many thousands of hours it took and I truly hope this spreads across the world to help the thousands of women who will find it kickstarts their healing journeys.

I thought that even 2.75 years postpartum that the course was valuable and provided insights into my own personal healing. I do feel like there is something for every Cesarean mother here, whether it's nervous system healing or re-processing of our birth stories.
