where women are rebirthed into mothers

The space, people, and perspective to grow through your matrescence. Support sessions and mother’s circles in-person in Marin County and online for women in the early years of motherhood.

resurrected feminine wisdom to ease your matrescence journey

Pregnancy, birth, and motherhood are portals for transformation, deeper self-connection, and the awakening of our feminine. Offering community, guided reflection sessions, and birth processing, this space is where women find the space-holding, guidance, and sisterhood that have supported the transition from woman to mother for millennia.

The Matrescence Circle

Find sisterhood in motherhood to support your rebirth. The Matrescence Circle is a weekly adults-only mother’s circle (offered in-person and online) for women seeking depth, spiritual exploration, and feminine wisdom.

For centuries women had village elders to support them through the portal to motherhood. In fact, the word godmother was adopted from goddess mother — a name for the women in the community who offered this support. My work aims to bring that guidance, community, and compassion back for modern mothers who are carrying so much.
