Birth Memory Survey

 

Hey, mama

 

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.


Why am I asking these questions? Well, birth doesn't just happen - it stays. In our bones. In our breath. In our trust. It can be one of the most powerful, disorienting thresholds we ever cross. And how we remember it shapes so much of how we heal!


This survey is part of my ongoing mother-baby work, exploring how women recall birth; not just through mind-memory but body-memory too. Your answers will be completely anonymous and there are right or wrong answers - just your truth.


Some questions touch in raw emotions, daily challenges and how you feel in your body. These are sensitive topics but the archive work is going toward much bigger, great work, sharing a collective voice of what some many of us mothers carry.

32+

Relate to your birth as a felt, bodily experience and not a mind/emotional memory as best you can.
