Honoring the transformation of motherhood

Pregnancy,
postpartum & beyond.

Support for All Parents, Moms, and Caregivers

Motherhood and pregnancy are hard. Yet our society is not set up to support the transition from pregnancy to the postpartum period and beyond. Becoming a mother has a tremendous impact on our identity and the very concept of selfhood. It has great potential to reshape our understanding of ourselves and help us heal.

Motherhood is a transformational experience, and we need connection and support more than at any other time in our lives. We often need help navigating this new terrain to feel validated and to learn new tools for dealing with the parts of the journey that test us most.

Support for Mothers

As a mother you deserve to be thriving. The capitalistic patriarchal supremacy systems created do not support and honor motherhood. They have desecrated the sacred act of motherhood. The transformational path of motherhood opens the door to heal, break cycle, and reclaim your voice and power.

Sacred Motherhood Circle

Motherhood is sacred. The Sacred Motherhood Circle is a space to connect to the rituals and ceremonies of mothering honoring the massive transition from Maiden to Mother.

Sacred Motherhood Circle

Motherhood is a deeply transformative experience. It is a time when we are pulled open and invited to connect to our deepest soul-longing. Motherhood is a spiritual journey during which we are asked to become radically honest with ourselves about who we want to be. We must face the loss of one identity and traverse sacred terrain to claim a new one that reconnects us to our soul, our voice, and our power.
