Online Birth Story Circle
True stories. Deep listening. Quiet transformation.
Gather in an intimate online circle to witness and reflect on the power of birth stories—whether it’s one woman sharing her story from beginning to end, or a guided birth debrief in real time. This is a sacred space to slow down, listen deeply, and explore how the imprint of birth shapes us all.
Together we reflect on the threads of intuition, surrender, choice, body-wisdom, the unexpected, and the tender places we may still hold questions, grief, or awe. Birth story wisdom reaches far beyond the moment of birth—it touches how we live, heal, and grow.
Whether you gave birth recently or years ago, whether your experience was blissful, bewildering, traumatic or transformative, you are welcome here.
What to Expect
A 1.5–2 hour live Zoom circle
One birth story shared or a live birth debrief session
Guided reflections and time for Q&A
A small, supportive group space (limited to keep it intimate)
This is not a space for fixing or comparing. It’s a space for truth-telling, listening, and allowing the medicine of story to do its quiet, powerful work.

“We can miss the mark.
We can forgive ourselves and others.
We can own our mistakes.
We can learn and mature.”
As June will be my first online Birth Story Circle, I have shared testimonials of my in-person Birth Story Circle here:
“Wow, thank you Rosie! My experience of the birth circle was profound and insightful, (similar to the 1:1 birth story sharing). I felt open and safe to connect and allow insights to emerge. You have a gift in creating and holding space for magic and discovery to happen! With gratitude and inspiration, I look forward to your next circle.”
“I attended this amazing, transformative, healing, safe, eye-opening (insert many more things) community facilitated by Rosie this past Sunday. This was a birth circle for births that turned medical. And if you know anything about my experience, it did not go as planned…. Not even close. So I have entered the space to begin the healing for me and baby, and this is how I’ll get there.”
“Thank you for holding such beautiful space, sharing your story, and ushering in a new network of connection and healing for postpartum women in Squamish. Mothers can feel broken on so many levels after a birth that didn’t go as they desired. Circles like Rosie’s help to put the pieces back together. These circles carry the potential to shift a community’s culture around birth and postpartum. When women get together and talk from the heart it’s profoundly powerful.”
About your host
Hi, I’m Rosie,
a mother of 2 boys (2017 and 2020), postpartum care provider, and guide in the deep waters of birth, healing, and transformation. With my family, I live in beautiful Squamish BC, Canada, and I was born and raised in The Netherlands.
I’m a certified INNATE Postpartum Care Practitioner©, certified Birth Story Expert©, and the creator of Medicine of Birth—a program that supports women in making sense of and integrating their birth experiences. I’ve held both in-person and online circles since the summer of 2024, with amazing feedback from attendees.
My work is rooted in reverence for the wisdom of the body, the sacred rites of passage we walk through as women, and the belief that sharing our stories can be deeply healing—not only for the one who speaks, but for all who listen.
I hold space for women to honour their birth experiences—not by editing or fixing the story, but by gently exploring what it still holds: power, grief, clarity, anger, awe, insight, or something still unnamed.
Whether your birth was recent or long ago, this space welcomes you exactly as you are.
