Testimonials
Kind words from those I have worked with
Birth Story Medicine
“It was really powerful. I don’t have enough words to thank you for your time and the exchange we did.”
“The session was so much deeper and more relevant than I was expecting. Also I went in thinking I would talk about some frustrations I had about my original midwife but that barely came up. It was so easy talking to you... I feel lucky to have the opportunity to speak with you. Thank you!”
“I loved the session with you. I think it helped me see my labor more clearly and to have peace with what happened. Thank you again!”
“Our session was pretty transformational…. It was very fitting in that particular day as I had planned to cook a big stew to freeze for my post-partum meal planning, so it was lovely to be able to process all these emotions and “pour” them into the meal ;) I particularly appreciated focusing on one particular moment or picture, as it helped me chop up the experience and process it in a whole new way!”
“How she holds space is so unique and safe. The yoga nidra practice is a perfect fit in balancing the journaling session and I found it especially grounding and centering. Journaling with Gursharn is very special and she has helped me shift my relationship towards blockages I had around creating a space for writing and creating, and tapping into the flow.”

“Gursharn helped me to process some traumatic and very sad experiences which I had associated with post partrum as a first-time mother.
The experience was so hard for me that I felt that I needed a lot of time to recover before even being able to think of trying for baby number 2.
She created a very safe, calm, and inviting space for me and other mothers to feel comfortable in, which naturally allowed us to open ourselves up to the journey she set out for us. Ddeep connections with ourselves and other mothers present.
As first-time mothers, We seriously don’t prepare ourselves enough for what awaits us on the other side of pregnancy. I would definitely sign myself up for more sessions with Gursharn and definitely recommend it to others.”
“I was not prepared for was how deeply moving these workshop sessions would be for everyone of us. It was incredible!
Gursharn’s carefully chosen journaling prompts immediately tapped into deep emotions. The feelings, the memories came flooding in and the words seemed to flow all by themselves.. it was amazing to discover the natural creativity that was already within us. Listening to the lines other women had written was so moving and created such a sense of trust and connection between us.
As a mother of three grown up children I was not anticipating that I would be tapping into these emotions , I imagined it would be more for new mothers, but each session was an emotional releasing and creatively opening experience for me. I treasure the writing I did during the workshop as it is so honest and reveals feelings that are in my heart from decades ago.
Thank you Gursharn, I honestly think that every mother, whatever stage or age , would benefit from your workshops so our hearts can be heard. A mothers heart is so full and it is a gift taking time to discover what we hold inside ourselves.”
“Gursharn’s writing were powerful in unearthing feelings and memories and helping me feel more whole as a mother. Her guiding prompts were broad enough to apply to everyone in the group, but specific enough for each participant’s writing to be truly personal and rich in emotion. I’d recommend these sessions to any mother looking to explore different facets of her experience of motherhood in a deep and meaningful way, and alongside other mothers.”
“In the intimate space created by Gursharn I could reconnect to that innermost voice that I too often mute while life makes all that noise. Call it intuition, higher self or the unconscious, journaling and writing has such a particular way of exploring how I truly feel. It helped me understand the essence of my experience and how I feel about becoming a mother ; it helped me open up to other women about my deepest thoughts about myself and my journey ; it healed fears and thoughts I didn’t know how to name.
A pen in hand, connected to paper through the ink. What happens is *flow* : in its’ purest, easiest form.”
