Why I Work With Mothers.

When people ask me why I choose to work with mothers, the answer runs deeper than a job title or a professional interest.

It’s something woven into who I am, shaped by my own experience of becoming a mother, and by the immense transformation, beauty, and difficulty that comes with it.

Motherhood cracked me open in ways I never expected.

In the early months after my first child was born, I found myself navigating an overwhelming mix of love, fear, isolation, and loss.

The world told me I should be soaking in the magic. Instead, I felt like I was quietly falling apart.

I didn’t have the words for it at the time, but I now know I was moving through matrescence, the profound and often disorienting transition that women experience when they become mothers.

It was only later, through my own healing journey with perinatal depression and anxiety, that I came to truly understand the magnitude of the changes that motherhood demands - physically, mentally, and emotionally.

And it was through that lived experience that my path became clear.

I work with mothers because I know, from the inside out, how invisible these transitions can be, and how isolating it can feel when your inner experience doesn't match the glossy images the world expects of you.

I know what it’s like to wonder if you’re enough. To question whether you're being a "good enough" mother. To look around and feel like everyone else has it figured out, while you’re quietly carrying the weight of doubt and wondering if you're the only one finding it hard.

Society doesn’t always make space for these realities.

Mothering is often undervalued, dismissed as something “natural” that should come easily, but the truth is that it’s hard, beautiful, messy, and brave work.

The emotional labour, the identity shifts, the silent griefs, the loss of autonomy, and the quiet triumphs, they deserve to be seen, honoured, and supported.

In my work, I aim to create the space I wish I'd had:

A place where mothers can be real, messy, and human.

A place where their mental, emotional, and physical health are nurtured with care.

A place where their experience, in all its complexity, is witnessed without judgement.

My background in nutrition, psychology, and perinatal mental health allows me to bring a holistic lens to my work. But at its heart, my work is about offering something simpler, and perhaps more powerful:

Compassion. Connection. Care.

Motherhood is not something to be perfected.

It’s a journey to be supported.

Whether you're in the fog of postpartum, navigating the tender spaces of matrescence, or simply carrying too much on your own, I am here to walk alongside you.

You are not broken. You are becoming.

And you don’t have to do it alone.
