About The Birth Healing Collective
Hi! I’m Dr Rosie Pajak, a perinatal Clinical Psychologist and mum of two. After many years of working with parents impacted by birth trauma, I founded The Birth Healing Collective to bring support and healing to more families across Australia.
I’m particularly passionate about helping women overcome anxiety in subsequent pregnancies and regain confidence when heading into their next birth.
I developed my unique Better Birth Program so you can enjoy more of your pregnancy, knowing you are doing all you can to emotionally prepare yourself for a much more positive birth experience.
Check out the various free resources on our site, then come and join us inside Better Birth for genuine support throughout your pregnancy.

Helping Children Navigate Grief
Children experience grief differently than adults. They may not have the words to express their feelings, so they show them in other ways—through tears, anger, or even unexpected silliness. Some days, they may seem perfectly fine, and the next, a wave of sadness can hit them out of nowhere. It’s all part of how they process the big feelings they don’t fully understand yet.
