Marin mother’s circles
Women gathering and supporting each other is a self-care practice as old as humanity.
And while it can feel intimidating to reclaim this basic wellness practice that women have relied on for millennia, doing so is as powerful in this modern age as it always has been. We grow and heal faster in community, where sharing our vulnerability and truth simultaneously unloads our burden while gifting the women we’re surrounded by with the permission to do the same with theirs. And together, we learn what it looks like and feels like to move through a period of growth, complete with discomfort, uncertainty, and questioning before the light and clarity begin to come through again. Not to mention that mothering in community is just more fun. It’s the way it’s always been.

I’m Kate
I’m a mother of two, a matrescence doula & a certified birth story listener
I created my motherhood support practice after experiencing the struggle that can come with matrescence. Stretching from a mother of one daughter to a mother of two while recovering from a traumatic birth experience left me aware of the depths and struggle that matrescence can carry you to. I now offer support, perspective, deep listening, and space-holding for women in matrescence.
MY PHILOSOPHY & BACKGROUND
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 meet you where you are, supporting you through what feels best to you in mothering, honoring that each of our motherhood journeys and experiences is entirely our own. My aim is to lend you my stability, care, and deep empathy, and respect for the matrescence process so that you can find your center, your truth, your highest self, and your way forward.
I bring learnings from a range of coursework, life experiences, self work, and support groups, including wisdom from my own matrescence, studies with Seasons of Matrescence, 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.
