After the Storm

Hello, I'm Sarah and I'm childless due to infertility. After my own struggles, I retrained as a trauma-informed counsellor because I was unable to find a counsellor that understood my grief. Since qualifying in 2020, I've worked exclusively with the childless community helping them process the grief and trauma to reshape themselves and their lives. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to help you decide if I'm the right fit for you, which can be booked from my website or by email. 

Apricot Lane Coaching

My personal journey through childlessness has been the toughest challenge I’ve faced. Coming to terms with it has been life changing. Now, as a qualified coach, I support others who are childless not by choice to find new ways through the loneliness and isolation of childlessness. I can be the person who validates your feelings giving you time and space to recognise and process your emotions. I will support you to grieve for your unborn children, find ways to move on and create a happy life without children.

Bindi Shah

Bindi Shah guides meditation classes specifically for childless not by choice. Meditation is an amazing tool to calm the mind and ease anxiety, something very much needed for our community. However in wider classes there can often be pro-natal language; with these specific childless not by choice classes Bindi provides a safe, nurturing place of understanding. The classes are over zoom with a different meditation theme each week. With her background in life coaching, she also provides mentorship for childless women, and runs the popular Write to Heal workshops.

Sheri is a Reiki Master and Life Coach.

Dr Tracey Steady Hardcastle

One of the things that surprised me about facing childlessness was how it stirred up all of my deepest wounds, challenges, and insecurities. The shape that the grief takes, and how pervasive it is, is like nothing else I’ve experienced personally or professionally. During my 2 decades working with people as a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, a mindfulness instructor, and a grief coach, I have been honored to hold space for hundreds of people while they face and transform their suffering into something more manageable. You’re not alone.
