In Māori culture Aldebaran is named Whetū-kura and also Taumata-kuku.

healing birth trauma
Have you experienced a difficult or traumatic pregnancy or birthing journey? Are you struggling with thoughts about whether things could have been different? Are you experiencing difficult feelings or trauma symptoms in your body? Birth trauma can be healed and processed through having a safe space to share what happened, and learn about why you may have felt disempowered, unsafe, unheard, or unsupported in your pregnancy or birth experience. Birth Trauma Therapy sessions are available online and in-person in Tauranga for: women and parents who have given birth, partners or support people who attended a birth which was difficult or traumatic to witness, and for parents/caregivers who are concerned about their child’s birth trauma.
Birth Trauma Therapy at our practice is also available for individuals who are wanting to understand and process their own past birth experience and emergence into the world.
