“Speaking with Frankie to share the birth story of my daughter was a such a pivotal moment in my healing journey. I went into our session emotionally charged and traumatized after carrying the impacts of my daughters birth for a year and a half. She created a safe, welcoming and comfortable space for me to dive into the details of my loss, confusion, and self-doubt. When our session ended, the word I kept hearing in my mind was ‘capable’. I went from feeling like I had somehow failed to feeling beyond capable, as a woman, and as a mother. I feel so much better prepared to go through birth again in the future. Where I had uncertainty in how our birth played out, Frankie was able to give me clarity and deeper understanding. Words cannot express how grateful I am for the time I had to share and be witnessed in my initiation to motherhood. I highly recommend working with Frankie to resolve previous birth trauma and/or to set a foundation of innate confidence for your birth”

“I had a Birth Story Medicine Session with Frankie.  As someone that has a good understanding of the harms of the industrial medical model, as well as physiological birth; I still gained so much insight into my two birth experiences.  She helped me see them, and myself in a new light and gave me so much freedom from the mental chatter I had around my stories.  I am forever grateful for this new freedom I have.  It has positively impacted my relationships more than I could have ever imagined.  I highly recommend Franceska as someone who can hold space for you in a non-judgemental, loving way.”

“Franceska is the wise woman you want with you through your pregnancy and birth.  She made me feel confident every step of the way.  When I had questions, she provided lots of resources.  Her ability to anticipate my needs and pick up on when I was not feeling totally myself throughout my pregnancy assured me that when it came time, she would hold the most powerful space for me to bring my baby into the world at home with the support of my husband.  My only regret is not finding her for my first birth!!  Thank you, Frankie.”

“Throughout my 19-hour labour, Frankie was our rock. She helped us move into labouring positions and advocate for our wishes in the hospital. She fed me water, put my clothes on, cleaned up my vomit, helped me breathe, and coached me through panic attacks – and she did so while completely respecting the woman that I am. Even though giving birth was the hardest day of my life thus far, it was also the day that I felt THE MOST loved and supported.”

“Frankie was very informative and reassured me a lot about giving birth during our prenatal visits, because I had many fears about it, but she reminded me of how natural it is and of how we (women) have been giving birth forever and our bodies are designed to do it. She gave me confidence in my own ability to do it.”
