Trimester-mapped session structure
Sessions are intentionally sequenced to meet you where you are — each trimester carries distinct emotional terrain, and your coaching mirrors that arc rather than treating every week the same.
Trigger milestone protocols
The due date of your loss. The gestational week you lost them. The first ultrasound. These dates don't disappear in a rainbow pregnancy — you'll have a personalized protocol for navigating each one with intention.
Partner integration sessions
Loss reshapes both of you differently. Dedicated partner sessions create shared language around grief-mixed joy — so you're not navigating this alone, and neither is the person beside you.
Birth plan emotional preparation
Your birth plan isn't just logistical. It carries emotional weight your previous loss has shaped. Together we'll prepare for birth in a way that honours your history and protects your peace.
Postpartum grief continuation
Your baby's arrival doesn't close the grief chapter. The fourth trimester can surface unexpected waves. Support continues through this tender threshold so nothing goes unwitnessed.
Bonding permission framework
Many women hold back from attaching — afraid to love what they might lose again. This framework gently guides you into permission: to bond, to hope, to let this baby matter, even now.
