Personal Lullaby for You and Your Child
None of our services are clinical in nature. Instead, they are creative experiences centered around storytelling and songwriting. Our musicians are trained in trauma-informed care and prepared to support Pittsburgh parents who have experienced birth trauma, have lost a child, or are giving birth under challenging circumstances. Children and partners are welcome to attend the sessions as well.
How It Works
1.
Choose the Right Session For You
Birth Trauma
This session is for any birthing person who has experienced trauma (mental and/or physical) during childbirth. Did you feel unsupported during childbirth? Did you feel unheard or felt a loss of control? Have you been grieving your birth experience? You deserve support. Birth trauma is based on your perception of the experience, and no formal diagnosis is needed to join this group. Some common symptoms, but not all, that can occur after birth trauma are upsetting memories, avoiding talking about the event, and having negative thoughts/feelings about the event.
You can be at any point post-delivery, from 1-week to many years. This group is specifically focused on birth trauma and connecting with others, so you can know that you are not alone, and you are not to blame.
Bereavement
Our Lullabies for Loss program is open to any parents or caregiver in Pittsburgh who is experiencing pregnancy or newborn loss. Our hearts are with you in this unexpected and challenging time of loss. There is no right way to process what you're going through.
We are here to hold space for you and help you create a song that tells your story and illustrates your love for your child.
General Session
If the two above sessions don't sound like the right fit for you but you are still looking to bond with your baby through a creative experience, the general session is for you.
We encourage anyone who is interested in processing their birth story or postpartum mental health with a licensed healthcare professional. Our offerings are not designed to be a replacement for professional mental health services.
