1:1 Somatic Support
For pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum + early motherhood
A place to slow down, listen inward, and tend to what this season of life is bringing forward in you.
50-minute sessions · Online via Zoom
A place for the mother, too.
So much attention during pregnancy and early motherhood is understandably placed on the baby. But there is also a woman moving through an enormous transition alongside them.
You may be trying to conceive and living with uncertainty. You may be pregnant and noticing old fears or patterns coming closer to the surface. You may be processing a birth that didn't unfold as you hoped. Or you may be deep in early motherhood, loving your baby while also feeling overwhelmed, anxious, touched-out, lonely, or unsure of who you are now.
You don't need to be in crisis to come.
You may simply want somewhere to bring the parts of motherhood that are harder to name. Somewhere to slow down, listen to yourself, and be supported as you find your own way through.
What we might explore together…
Our sessions can make room for whatever is most present for you. This might include:
The uncertainty and emotional weight of trying to conceive
Pregnancy, birth, and the transition into motherhood
A difficult or unexpected birth experience
Postpartum overwhelm, anxiety, anger, grief, or loneliness
Feeling unlike yourself or unsure of who you are now
Changes in your relationship or sense of intimacy
The pressure to get motherhood "right"
Your relationship with your own mother or childhood
Old patterns that feel louder since becoming a parent
Boundaries, needs, resentment, and asking for help
Learning to recognize and trust your own inner knowing
Finding rhythms and ways of living that feel supportive to you and your family
There doesn't need to be a perfectly defined problem to work on. Often we begin with what is happening right now and see where it leads us.
What does a session look like?
We begin wherever you are.
Sometimes we talk. Sometimes I may invite you to slow down and notice what is happening in your body as you speak. We might become curious about a sensation, emotion, belief, memory, or part of you that shows up.
There is no particular state you need to reach and nothing you need to perform or get right.
My role isn't to tell you how to mother or give you another set of rules to follow. I am there to listen closely, ask questions, notice what may be happening beneath the surface, and help create enough space for you to hear yourself more clearly.
Your baby is welcome to be part of our sessions. Feeding, holding, rocking, getting up, changing a diaper, or pausing when your baby needs you are all welcome here. This is support that is meant to fit inside real motherhood.
finding your own way
There is an extraordinary amount of information available to mothers now.
How to sleep. How to feed. How to attach. How to regulate. How to play. How to discipline. How to introduce food. How much stimulation is too much stimulation. What your baby should be doing and when.
Some of that information is genuinely helpful.
And some of it can make it very difficult to hear yourself.
Part of our work may simply be creating enough quiet to notice what you think, what your body is telling you, what you notice about your child, and what feels right for your particular family.
I don't want to teach you the right way to mother.
I want to help you become more able to hear your own inner knowing.
