1:1 matrescence Support
Connection, space holding, and guidance through the transition to mother and beyond.
Space holding & connection for mothers
When a woman transitions to a mother – and from mother of one or two to mother of more – she experiences a rite of passage and a personal transformation that builds and evolves over years (potentially forever) as her children grow and develop.
Without compassionate support and community, these periods of self transformation can feel lonely, scary, and confusing.
1:1 matrescence connection offers connection, space holding and guidance to any mother enduring a transition or period of motherhood where being held and witnessed would support her ability to mother.
like a postpartum doula for motherhood
Matrescence support is in full service of you as a mother and your experience of mothering. Like a doula, I’m here for you and complement your other care providers and social circle. Many women find it helpful to have someone to lean on who is outside of their inner circle and committed to confidentiality.

Adjusting to life with a new baby
Managing a transition back to work
Grieving a loss
Enduring a fertility journey
General overwhelm from being under-supported
Processing a traumatic birth
Considering whether you want to grow your family
And so much more.
ABOUT Kate
mother of two, matrescence guide & certified birth story listener
My guidance and space holding centers on you and your truth, no matter what motherhood looks like for you or how you come to it.
I bring learnings from a range of coursework, life experiences, self work, and support groups, including wisdom from my own matrescence, studies with Birth Story Medicine, personal experiences in traumatic birth and postpartum suffering, as well as the feminine experience I’ve witnessed in others through mother’s groups, women’s circles, and friendships.
What’s voice memo support?
Staying connected between meetings is an essential part of my support offering. But as busy moms, finding time to connect by phone is limiting and who has time or the free hands to type out their deepest feelings? The baby needs to be held, the laundry changed, and the big kids picked up from school. Voice memos allow you to speak freely and conveniently as you mother, drive, and work and offers podcast-like responses that fit into your busy life.
While we’re connecting, you are welcome to send voice memos anytime 24/7 and can expect responses from me within 24 hours (usually much sooner) Tuesday-Thursday.
