Breaking Through: Navigating Birth Trauma and Special Needs with Resilience
In this first episode of the Jess Ngaheu podcast, host Jess shares her personal journey and the experiences that led her to start her business, Maternal Grounding. She discusses her own rough pregnancy and emergency caesarean with her first child which inspired her to help other women through the process of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. Jess also opens up about the extreme birth trauma she and her family went through with her second child, Hawaiki, who spent most of his first year in the hospital.
She explains how these experiences led her to develop a course called “The Survival of Birth Trauma” and to study functional neurology to help neurodivergent children. Throughout the episode, Jess emphasises the importance of holistic support and holding space for individuals during challenging times.
