What if trauma isn’t about what happened — but what your nervous system couldn’t complete?

In this powerful short, Christie Davis, Midwife and somatic practitioner, shares insight with Augustine, midwife and founder of Midwifery Wisdom, about how trauma can live in the body long after the event is over.

Together, they unpack:
✨ Why two people can live through the same crisis, but only one walks away with trauma
✨ How your body protects you — and why “slowing down” can feel so threatening
✨ What somatic support can do for birth trauma, burnout, and nervous system healing

Whether you’re a new parent still carrying stress from birth or a birthworker supporting others through intense experiences, this conversation invites a gentler, deeper way to process and move forward.
