fourth Trimester matrescence support

For millennia, postpartum mothers were surrounded and supported by family and community. You deserve to be too.

Being left at home alone with your baby (or even you, your partner and your baby) is isolating. It breeds loneliness, anxiety, and low mood and leaves you vulnerable to the effects of the motherhood internet — comparison, belief that there is an answer for every baby care challenge that comes up, and more.

What if...

feeling studier and happier in postpartum won’t come from more information or a new regimen to follow?

What if...

what you really need is connection, listening, and matrescence perspective that grounds your experience and meets you exactly where you are?

Client Reviews

“Kate helped me explore and put words to everything I've been feeling and helped me feel really seen and understood throughout the whole process.

She had excellent questions that perfectly balanced curiosity and expanding my own thinking and perspective.

I walked away from our time together with a new way to think about this next chapter, as well as concrete next steps and resources. Every moment was so valuable and I can't recommend her 1:1 sessions enough, no matter what stage of motherhood you might be in.”

“The way Kate is able to put words to what I’m feeling and experiencing in motherhood is so powerful. She’s a gift to the community.”

— Mackenzie

“Kate’s ability to hold space, normalize and reflect back my experiences and feelings during my postpartum journey was transformative. Whenever I needed to get something out into the world or needed some thoughtful reflection, I would reach for my phone and voice memo to Kate and immediately felt heard and supported. It was like I had a friend with me at all times. Kate is truly magical.”
