Birth Trauma Resources
Note that these are not the ONLY resources in the community.
If you are from the Edmonton Area, these are the only practitioners or care providers I have personally worked with, or someone I trust has worked with.
If they are international, then it is at your own discretion.
If you would like to join my resource page, please reach out to connect.
