New Mamas
on the Other
Side of Birth.
Very rarely does motherhood go according to plan. We all know the myths, the stories, the ‘shoulds’ — but how to embody all those lofty expectations when everything is uncertain, and your body feels foreign, on fire, or entirely detached from you.
It is a spiral path that requires untold amounts of acceptance, surrender, and trust. You have a whole new nervous system no one has taught you how to be with yet. Let’s meet it together.
Birth is a ThresholdMotherhood, On Purpose.
Grow the skills and capacity to become the mother you most desire to be. In our weekly sessions, we’ll build confidence amidst the chaos, so you feel grounded, attuned, and at ease during a tender time of life.
Available in 3 and 6 month containers, beginning during the third trimester or any time after birth.
Learn How To...-
Identify your deepest longing, separate from the conditioning you’ve received. What is it you truly desire? And what is the cost of not doing it?
-
Honor your bodily sensations with somatic tools and grounding techniques that allow you to land in your body with dignity and support.
-
Understand your personal patterns and the stories behind them, revisiting your own childhood memories as they arise to transmute reactions into intentional responses.
-
The beginning of motherhood is also the end of maidenhood. Grieve the woman you were before birth, while creating space to meet a newly emerging version of self.
-
As mother, you have an innate authority. Trust it. Together, we’ll practice standing in your center, making requests, and navigating conflict from a seat of empowerment.
Heidi’s Story
My transition to motherhood was sticky and complex and not what I expected. I was tending to so many other people, but I wasn’t tending to myself. And worse, the world rewarded my depletion. The more I gave of myself, the more positive feedback I received. On the outside, I looked like I was nailing it. Inside, I was floundering.
Yes, there were sweet moments, but mostly, everything felt pale. I wondered, ‘Is this it?’ I was longing for more connection — not to my kids or who I was before, but to the woman I was becoming. Somatic work welcomed me home. Now, I want to give that gift to other mothers as they meet themselves in a tender time.
