About us

We are a group of womb twin survivors, all working together to help each other.
We have woken up at last to the idea that we are not crazy: that the way we feel is because of what happened to us and that is normal. This is such a relief and a gift to us that we want to share this news with other womb twin survivors throughout the world!

We are all kinds of people:

  • Twinless twins whose co-twin died during pregnancy or around birth
  • People who were told that they once had a twin
  • Survivors of a suspected miscarriage
  • Survivors of an abortion attempt
  • People with dermoid cysts, teratomas, even a fetus in fetu
  • People who have always wondered if they once had a twin
  • People who have been told by a therapist that they may be a womb twin survivor
  • People with a fear of abandonment
  • People haunted by a strange sense of vulnerability
  • People who have always been searching for something all their lives
There is hope and healing, with the help of the womb twin survivors project, and this organisation, which you can join today. 

From a wombtwin survivor in the USA:

After 19 years of working at healing, many which were valuable in their own ways at their own time, I have never experienced such rapid, deep transformational healing from any other modality than your womb twin survivor work. This is particularly amazing given the limited amount of direct contact we had (5 sessions total). Your healing path is the magic key that opens the door to the other side of life, one of true living, which many womb twin survivors can't imagine and don't know they can arrive at because they don't even realize where they currently are: stuck.

Our aims

We aim to provide information, help and support for wombtwin survivors in as many ways as we can:
 

  • To undertake a programme of information gathering about the many different events in a twin or multiple pregnancy that lead to the intrauterine death of one or more embryos or foetuses.
  • To identify the personality characteristics of wombtwin survivors and publicise them, so that wombtwin survivors can identify themselves and be recognised as such.
  • To make contact with as many wombtwin survivors as possible throughout the world by means of a comprehensive web site.
  • To interview as many wombtwin survivors as possible about their subjective experience of being the sole survivor, both face to face and by e-mail.
  • To disseminate information about the subjective experience of being a wombtwin survivor by means of a web site, printed publications, media interviews, training sessions, pod-casts etc.
  • To develop a range of useful therapeutic interventions for distressed wombtwin survivors of all ages.
  • To provide training for various professional groups in how to identify and bring out the best potential in wombtwin survivors and make full use of their special gifts.
  • To find ways of bringing wombtwin survivors together into communities to normalise their feelings and maximise their potential.
  • To offer personal support to wombtwin survivors where they are isolated and misunderstood, by means of e-mail contact, healing groups, and specially trained therapists who are prepared to be “wombtwin companions” on the healing path.
