Motherhood will change you. And we need to let it. This is a rite of passage called Matrescence.
Support for women moving through pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood who feel disconnected from themselves and the village they expected.
You are not doing it wrong. The intensity, the overwhelm, the disconnection—they all have a reason. There’s a rite of passage we all pass through as we become a Mother (whether that’s through birthing a baby, or a project, or coming to the life cycle of Mother.
Motherhood can be beautiful… and also dark, hard, complex… even a nightmare.
How you feel is relevant and part of a bigger transition.
You’re not alone in your feelings.
This is part of the rite of passage, the journey of becoming a mother. It even has it’s own word Matrescence
We aren’t talking about this enough.
There is a reason you feel what you feel.
Motherhood reshapes your body, identity, brain, nervous system and so much more.
Personal and collective trauma can feel louder in these years.
The world wasn’t built to support mothers fully.
Feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unseen is a natural signal- a signal that you’re not being supported, witnessed or heard enough in this massive life transition.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
Postpartum support that holds both practical and emotional needs
Perinatal & women’s yoga that reconnects you to your body
Women’s circles where you are truly seen and heard- and connect to women of all ages
Online & in Person Spaces where you can begin to rebuild the village you’ve been missing
The only way to meet yourself on the other side of this… is to go through it. With support, witnessing, connection, community & celebration.
If this feels like something you’ve been trying to put into words… you’re in the right place.
Begin reconnecting to yourself, being witnessed, and finding the support you’ve been missing—one step at a time.
Motherhood is intense, complex, and transformative. What you’re feeling is real, relevant, and shared by countless other women. You are not doing it wrong. You are becoming. And there is space for you here.
I’m here to hold space for the parts no one talks about.
