WELCOME TO MOTHERHOOD
Full Spectrum Doula & Motherhood Coach
Holding and supporting mums to regain trust and power within themselves, as they embark on what is an incredibly sacred journey through motherhood.
Mama, I see you.
We all know that pregnancy and motherhood is one of the most profound seasons in life, but it doesn't always come easily or naturally.
Pregnancy and Motherhood can be triggering, exhausting and very challenging.
Society has taught us that birth is a medical event, so how can we achieve a physiological birth when against all the odds? As you enter your pregnancy journey you enter into matrescence; the developmental process of becoming a mother, and just like a teenager going through adolescence, things can get pretty wild.
But this is a safe place for you to be held, supported and to take back the power. I'm here to hold the space for you and care for you, while you tap into your deep intuition, connect in with this new version of yourself and flourish in this new season of mothering.
Awareness
Becoming aware of the journey of labour and birth and how it throws you into Matrescence, and how it enables you to hold yourself with grace and compassion.
Healing
During pregnancy and our Matrescence we are cracked wide open. So many triggers arise and inner child wounds come to the surface which we need to heal from.
Continuity of Care
Meeting you right where you are, whether that be pre-conception, early or late pregnancy or postpartum, to hold you and support you exactly as you need.
It takes a village, are you waiting for yours to show up?
You've heard that it takes a village to raise a child, but did you know it also takes a village to raise a mother. I know firsthand what it feels like to be unsure about all the medical jargon, what your medical team is asking of you and to not feel seen or heard in any of it.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
Pregnancy and motherhood can be really enjoyable, which might seem far fetched for you right now if you're in the thick of a sick, nauseous, negative, sleep deprived, anxious state. But I promise you, there's light at the end of the tunnel.
When we heal ourselves, we heal the next generation.
What you can expect from working with me:
Setting Boundaries
Setting boundaries for yourself and your family is one of the highest priorities. I can support you in how to do this while still maintaining strong relationships with those around you.
Routines
One of the best ways to overcome the overwhelm of motherhood is to establish solid (yet flexible) routines and schedules which will help your family thrive. Learning how to surrender to situations and to the fact that nothing ever goes to plan is an important part of motherhood.
Continuity Of Care
It is said that having a constant support alongside you during pregnancy, labour, birth and postpartum reduces birth trauma significantly. I am here to be that for you.
Relationships
Navigating relationships with friends, family and your partner during pregnancy and early postpartum, can be really tricky and often lead to tension, resentment and can lead to the breakdown of a relationship. We will cover this important topic thoroughly during our time together.
Purpose & Identity
Motherhood changes the way you look at the world and the way the world looks at you. Many women feel like they've lost their identity when they become a mum, here we look at how to rediscover yourself.
Values
Like a rudder to a boat, your values will guide you through life. We spend time understanding your values and what they mean for you so that you can align with them and understand what your intuition feels like. Values will be your guiding light throughout pregnancy, labour and postpartum.
Wellbeing
Taking care of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing during matrescence is extremely important and something we will spend a lot of time working through for optimal healing and growth.
Mindset
Regaining trust within yourself, feeling empowered and knowing what you truly are capable of is going to allow you to achieve the birth that you are deserving of and take you into the depths of postpartum in a way that will leave you feeling like the queen that you are.
