Because every birth story deserves a safe place to land.

Sometimes, a birth doesn’t go the way we planned. Even when the outcome is a healthy baby, the experience of the birth can leave us feeling confused, disappointed, or emotionally ‘stuck.’ You aren’t alone—and you don’t have to carry it indefinitely.

What is Birth Story Therapy?

Unlike traditional talk therapy, Birth Story Therapy (Birth Story Medicine®) is a focused, heart-centered session designed to help you find a new perspective on your birth. It’s not about fixing what happened; it’s about shifting how you carry it.

1. Identify the “Stuck” Points

Gently uncover the moments that still feel heavy or unresolved.

2. Shift the Narrative

Look at your story through self-compassion rather than judgment.

3. Find Integration

Move from “What happened to me?” to “This is a part of my strength.”

What is Birth Story Therapy?

Who is this for? Any parent with an unresolved birth experience — whether six weeks or sixty years ago. Especially helpful for those preparing for a subsequent birth who want clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom.

We cannot control the birthing process of these little ones, but we CAN develop and take care of the adaptability of our bodies and prepare ourselves for the transformational experience of birth.

  • - R. H. Brooklyn, NY

    I'm a 73-year-old Bubby, ka"h with grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and I've been carrying my birth story for over half a century without even realizing how heavy it was. My daughter kept nudging me — "Mommy, just try it" — and finally I listened. What Shprintza created for me in that session... I don't have the words. Things I never spoke about out loud, things I tucked away because that's what you did back then, they finally had somewhere to go. I walked out feeling lighter than I have in years. It's never too late. I'm living proof.

  • - Liora M, Toronto

    My son is two years old and I love him — but for a long time, I didn't feel it. I went through the motions, I kept him safe, I did everything right. But there was this glass wall between us and I couldn't figure out why. A friend mentioned birth story work and honestly I was skeptical. One session with Shprintza and I understood exactly where that wall came from. Something shifted. The next morning I picked him up and just... cried. Good tears. He has no idea, but everything is different now.

  • - Nicole C., LA

    I'd been snapping at my husband over nothing, crying in the car for no reason, just off — for months. I didn't connect any of it to my birth experience. Shprintza did, gently, within minutes. By the end of the session I felt like I could breathe again — fully, for the first time in I don't know how long. My husband noticed that same evening. I'm not exaggerating when I say I feel like myself again.

The 3-Step Process


Step 1: 📅 Book a Session

Choose a time that feels right for you — whether you're weeks postpartum or decades removed from your birth. There’s no preparation required, no “right” way to begin. You simply arrive as you are.

The Guided Listening Process

Step 2 : 🎧 The Guided Listening Process

In a private, one-on-one session, you are given the space to tell your story fully — without interruption, without judgment. Your doula listens deeply, reflects what’s been held beneath the surface, and gently stays with you through the moments that need to be seen.

Integration, Freedom & Peace

Step 3 : 🌿 Integration, Freedom & Peace

As the story is spoken and received, something begins to shift. What once felt heavy starts to release. You leave not with a different story — but with a different relationship to it: lighter, clearer, and more fully your own.

Your Questions, Answered

  • No. Birth story medicine is not therapy and is not a substitute for mental health treatment. It is a supported, structured session in which you tell your birth story in full, with a trained doula present to witness, hold space, and help you begin to integrate the experience. If deeper clinical support is needed, referrals can be provided.

  • There is no expiration on this work. Mothers come six weeks postpartum and six years postpartum. I've even worked with a 73 year-old great-grandmother from Brooklyn. If the experience is still present — still replaying, still unresolved, still sitting somewhere in the body — the session is relevant.

  • No. You tell what you remember, in whatever order it comes. Gaps, confusion, and fragmented memories are all part of the story. You will not be asked to fill in what isn't there.

  • You set the pace. There is no pressure to push through anything faster than feels right. Emotion is not an obstacle to this work — it is often the doorway.

  • No. Birth story medicine is for any mother who feels there is something unfinished in her experience — whether the birth was medically complicated, emotionally confusing, or simply different from what she expected. You do not need to have suffered greatly to deserve to be heard.

  • The structure and intention are identical. Virtual sessions are conducted via video call and are equally effective. Many clients find that being in their own space actually supports a deeper sense of safety and openness.

  • If you're reading this page and something in it is landing — you're ready. You don't need the words yet. You don't need to have processed anything in advance. Readiness, in this work, just means showing up.
