show me the support
let's be real.
People think moms should be grateful...
... selfless, and always okay. But here’s the truth: You can love your children with your whole chest and still feel like motherhood is breaking you. That doesn’t make you weak. That doesn’t make you ungrateful. That makes you human.
And you deserve support that sees all of you—not just the parts that keep going, because motherhood is not meant to cost you yourself.
This isn’t about going back.
It’s about expanding into the version of you that motherhood is calling forward.
At Matrescence in Color, I blend therapy, coaching, and culturally-rooted, nervous system-based care to support moms through the sacred (and sometimes soul-rattling) transition of early motherhood.
This is whole-person, whole-mama healing—mind, body, and joy.
Not surface-level self-care. Not “do more with less.” Not grind culture dressed up as empowerment.
Because you were never the problem. The system was.
And around here? We don’t normalize burnout. We dismantle it.
Every Space I Create Offers This
You’ll grow into a fuller, freer version of you.
Whether it’s through mindset work, body-based healing, or reclaiming your joy—this work helps you reconnect with the woman underneath the noise. Not to become someone new, but to grow into who motherhood has been calling forward all along.
We start with the body, not the to-do lists.
You don’t need another checklist. You need nervous system care, real body nourishment, and rituals that make healing feel human. When your body feels safe, the rest of you can finally exhale—and that’s when the healing sticks.
You’ll mother on your terms, not theirs.
No more playing by rules you didn’t agree to. In every space I create, you’re invited to define motherhood in a way that aligns with your truth, not societal scripts. That means leading with joy, power, rest, and desire—not guilt, shame, or survival mode.

Years of becoming and being a mother myself; learning and unlearning

I’m a licensed therapist, Matrescence coach, and the founder of Matrescence in Color. For nearly 15 years, I’ve helped women process pain, rewrite patterns, and reclaim their power. But nothing cracked me open like motherhood.
Now, I help moms of color feel grounded, present, and actually joyful—by tending to the nervous system, unlearning the patriarchal BS, and building a life that feels like theirs.
