Real stories of lives changed by Head Trash Clearance …
Alexia is the most genuine, interested and helpful therapist and coach because she cuts right to the heart of the issue to get the best results.
My husband says it’s the best money we have ever spent. He has noticed a visible difference in me, I’m so much calmer and sleeping better as a result of the work
I used to waken in the middle of the night with panic attacks due to how overwhelmed I felt thinking about having children.
I have not felt like this since starting the program which is a huge relief to me.
I can’t put a price on the peace of mind I have gained and the sense of mastery over something I initially thought was incurable.
“I had ZERO FEAR during birth. I was not scared at all. I completely trusted in the process.”
Unfortunately, C experienced complications during the birth which made her birth more painful than usual, then her placenta ruptured which means it had to be removed manually ( ouch!!).
However, none of that took anything away from her incredible birth experience…
“I did the entire labor (with back labor) AND they removed my placenta WITHOUT ANY DRUGS.
I know that all of the preparation I did helped me get through it… and to have literally no fear the entire time was wild.”
This would be incredible anyway, but for a woman who was tokophobic THIS IS INSANE!!!!
And here’s the bit that made me cry…
“Thank you so much for being such an important part of this journey… I wouldn’t have been able to get pregnant and give birth without you.
And now I have a sweet baby girl here in my arms… I love her more than I thought possible, I’m so grateful for her.
Thank you for helping me to become a mother!“
“I’ve struggled with my anxiety and OCD for as long as I can remember. I have general anxiety and OCD and when the thought of getting pregnant was a reality I developed tokophobia.
Alexia is friendly, understanding and really cares about your success. She makes herself readily available and is always there for you when you reach out.
I enjoyed Alexia’s way of working and providing the tools you need to clear your head trash. I enjoyed the variety of options there was to this technique by doing working 1:1 with her, to listing to audios.
It was an investment monetary and time wise, but I knew my mental health was worth it. If I added up all those therapists office visit charges and time traveling to the office, I realized that it was no more of an investment than that.
I worked with the Alexia’s methods for 7 months and in the 7th month I feel ready to TTC. I’m easing into it by tracking my fertile period and actively TTC within 1 or 2 days within that window to see how I felt.
To my surprise instead of feeling more fear than excitement, I felt more excitement than fear!”
From visceral, deep-rooted fear to elation!
I dived into very challenging yet satisfying work, desperate for at least some respite from being tokophobic. I began to unravel the tight knot of traumas, fears and beliefs that I had about birth and was able to create my own meditations to tackle the above one by one.
Incredibly, I would get a little buzz out of those sessions that would then lighten me up, energise me and give me a completely new perspective on some very touchy subjects.
I now feel that I am the mother my baby needs me to be – strong, resilient, positive and, above all, caring and loving. Who would have thought that I could feel genuinely excited about the Big Day and look forward to bringing my sweet little baby into the world?!
“Hi, I’m Olivia and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m just about halfway through with my first pregnancy!
I’ve dealt with tokophobia since my preteens. I struggled with an undiagnosed heart condition for years in middle and high school which brought about symptoms that mimicked morning sickness.
It ultimately engrained a deep distrust in my own body. Compounding with some body dysmorphia, religious trauma, and family dysfunction, I’d been dealing with extreme anxiety surrounding pregnancy for years.
I cannot emphasize this enough: I panicked at any thoughts, sights, and conversations remotely related to pregnancy. I carried the fear and shame with me constantly, and it only grew more crippling as I got married and entered into the typical “child-bearing years.”
My husband and I wanted to be parents, but I felt trapped by my phobia. I didn’t want my life to be defined by my fear, but I felt helpless to conquer it. Out of shear desperation, I started therapy a few years before finding Alexia. Although that was beneficial to some extent, none of the therapists I worked with were able to fully rid me of the biggest issue I came for: my tokophobia.
By some surge of courage, I had pushed through fear enough to conceive, but seeing the test turn positive filled me with panic and internal dread. I remember thinking, “oh sh*t, what have I done?!”
At 3 weeks pregnant, I reached out to Alexia desperate for help. Her unique Head Trash Clearance method and Wound Healings seemed a little foreign at the start and in all honesty, I doubted whether they would have an impact. But knowing she herself dealt with and overcame her own tokophobia had me intrigued.
In our one-on-one meetings, I grew to deeply trust her listening ear to the personal issues that fed my phobia. The personal list of “head trash” she created for me to clear touched on every aspect of my phobia. She was so genuine and encouraging and celebrated any breakthroughs I had, no matter how small.
Slowly, I started to feel better.
I began to see so clearly how much my life had always been tainted by the heaviness I’d been carrying around all these years. I’d been ignoring and avoiding things, surviving the best I could in between inevitable triggers and fear that was always there, whispering in the back of my mind. That’s NOT living!
The relief I’ve felt since working with Alexia – it’s priceless. I feel so much pride in myself for taking this leap.
I never thought I’d be excited about being pregnant. I never imagined being able to have open conversations about my pregnancy. I definitely never imagined shopping for maternity clothes could be a positive experience. The list is endless!
Get in touch with Alexia, I promise it’s life-changing!!!”
And I received this a few months later…
“I just wanted to say THANK YOU for working with me earlier this year. You rid me of my tokophobia and I cannot believe I got here!
I am so proud of myself and so in love with my little girl 
“
Olivia named her little girl Summit as a testament to what conquering her tokophobia meant for her.
Life-transforming! ☆☆☆☆☆
Hand on my heart, this podcast changed the course of my life! I’m eternally grateful to Alexia for the incredible work that she does, helping women bust their birth fears and normalising the experience of pregnancy.
Through this podcast I discovered Alexia’s Tokophobia Support Program which allowed me overcome my extreme fear of birth in 3 weeks!
As a result, I’m a happier, stronger, calmer and more resilient woman:)
Whether you’re planning to get pregnant or are an expecting/new mum, you have to drink from this source of inspiration, enlightenment and wisdom!
From visceral, deep-rooted fear to elation!
It seems impossible to even imagine that I used to be completely engulfed by tokophobia – an extreme fear of birthing – that would cause me to get nauseous, tighten up and cry when watching even a short clip of another woman having a baby, let alone the very idea of going into labour myself. Neither rationalising my phobia nor educating myself about the birthing process would lessen tokophobia’s grip. I felt doomed, helpless and ashamed of being this way until taking part in Alexia Leachman’s Tokophobia Webinar gave me hope.
Fast forward less than a week, and I was enrolled in her Tokophobia Support Program which gave me access to excellent online resources, as well as, most importantly, weekly group calls and continuous guidance and encouragement from Alexia.
I dived into very challenging yet satisfying work, desperate for at least some respite from being tokophobic. The pre-recorded clearance tracks shook me to the depth of my being, left me soaked in tears and absolutely exhausted as the toxic emotions were leaving my body, yet brought immediate relief and clarity.
I began to unravel the tight knot of traumas, fears and beliefs that I had about birth and was able to create my own meditations to tackle the above one by one. Incredibly,
I started to get a little buzz out of those sessions that would then lighten me up, energise me and give me a completely new perspective on some very touchy subjects.
Three weeks in and I was clear of tokophobia!
Even during the first week of coaching, I was able to walk through a maternity clothing shop without holding my breath, come to a prenatal yoga class and begin to embrace the changes happening to my over-12-weeks pregnant body. My whole experience shifted dramatically toward genuine curiosity, gratitude and elation!
I now feel that I am the mother my baby needs me to be – strong, resilient, positive and, above all, caring and loving. Who would have thought that I could feel genuinely excited about the Big Day and look forward to bringing my sweet little baby into the world?!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Alexia!
I have known for a long time that I had tokophobia. I knew I wanted a family but couldn’t think about being pregnant without having strong anxiety and panic attacks. I was petrified of being pregnant. I can only describe it as a crazy hurricane in my head whenever I thought about pregnancy.
I did a lot of research and there is not a lot of information about treatment options on the NHS websites. I found Alexia’s website and did a lot of reading here, joined the Facebook group and booked a call with Alexia. It was lovely to chat with her, she really understood what I was saying and I thought this really is worth a go!
I found it really easy and lovely to work with Alexia and we uncovered things I was anxious about that I could have never thought I would be anxious about. I found the methods really easy to use, and Alexia was really helpful in guiding me with this.
I noticed I was starting to feel calmer and more relaxed when thinking about pregnancy.
The craziness has gone and I feel calm. I feel excited now to think about my future with a family and even excited to be trying for a pregnancy. I found the resources on the website really helpful and the head trash clearance technique easy to follow.
I am really glad I started to work with Alexia, I feel in such a better place now.
I had tokophobia all my life and didn’t realize how bad it was until I got pregnant. I couldn’t sleep and I couldn’t eat and life felt overwhelming and miserable. By the time I was in my second trimester my fears took control and ran the show. I had gigantic fears surrounding labor and knew I had to do something about it before I went into labor.
I don’t know what I would have done without Alexia’s program!
Before doing it, I dreaded my pregnancy and the day of labor every day. It felt like such an overwhelming burden and there were so many things I had no clue about because it was my first pregnancy.
After Alexia’s program my whole world went from total dread to empowerment and JOY!
I honestly can’t believe it! I am actually enjoying being pregnant and thanks to Alexia’s research and tools I have a thorough birth plan and all the information I could need at my fingertips!
By the time I was done with the program I was in control of my fears instead of my fears taking control over me. I feel so empowered by Alexia’s work, she gave me the tools I needed to face my fears head on and the support I also needed to really get there, I couldn’t have faced that intensity alone.
Alexia had every tool I needed to help me clear my fears and now I can actually enjoy my pregnancy instead of dreading it every day like I was! This program truly delivers and my biggest regret is not doing this work sooner.
I wish I had cleared my fears with Alexia before I got pregnant!
I am astounded by how deeply her work has touched my life and cleared my fears. I don͛’t know what I would have done without this.
I am amazed at the resources Alexia provides; it’s like she did all the research I don’t have time to do cuz I’m pregnant and has it all there ready for me. If you have fears around pregnancy don’t run away!
I was crippled over tokophobia. It had hijacked my goals in life, which had been to try to become a parent someday. I had had it for years since preadolescence, ever since I had learned about where babies come from. I wanted to be ready for when the time came to start a family someday.
I would absolutely recommend Alexia’s program to other women with tokophobia; if it can help alleviate my deeply-rooted fears with pregnancy, it could certainly help someone else! I feel less freaked out by pregnancy and definitely acknowledge this is a natural process that our bodies are well conditioned and equipped to do which I hadn’t felt before.
I think that anyone with specific fears that hinder them from living their lives to their fullest potential can benefit from this program. They need to know that it is possible to face your fears head-on, neutralize them and obliterate them. I honestly couldn’t believe it!
I figured I would need months or years to undo these deep-seated fears of mine, but in applying Alexia’s techniques that was not my case at all. I love the videos, materials, and podcasts!
They are a brilliant and helpful resource which you can access anytime and anywhere. The group calls were flexible and easy and the website is a treasure trove of information and extremely helpful in working to overcome my fears. I still use the podcasts and browse the website for videos though whenever I need touch-ups.
