Unearthed: A Curated Experience
Unearthed: A Curated Experience
Survival mode chips away at your health, your relationships, your joy, and the woman you know yourself to be. Unearthed is a chance for moms of color to step out of the cycle and into support. In one curated experience, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck, calm your body’s overwhelm, and chart a path forward that restores your capacity for both motherhood and womanhood.
You don't have time to keep waiting

unearthed
For the mom who keeps saying, "I just need to get through this week"... but "this week" never ends, does it?
One powerful day to dig beneath the stress, tension, and survival mode—so you can settle your body, clear your mind, and walk away with real relief and a roadmap you can trust.
Unearthed is for you if:
- You’re holding it all together on the outside, but inside you’re stretched thin and worn down.
- Your body aches, your mind won’t quiet at night, and the snapping you regret keeps coming.
- You know there’s deeper healing to do, but you don’t want to wait months to feel even a little lighter.
- You want clarity, calm, and a plan for what comes next—not someday, but now.
If you’re tired of bracing your way through motherhood, Unearthed is an intensive that gives you the pause, the plan, and the reset your body has been asking for.
Is this for you?

You keep telling yourself, “It’s just a season.” But if nothing changes, the symptoms don’t magically lift, they add up.
That exhaustion that never eases? It creeps into your health. The snapping you regret? It strains your closest relationships. The foggy brain and late nights awake? They rob you of energy, presence, joy, and the sense of self you miss so much.
The truth is, survival mode feeds on depletion, disconnection, and dysregulation. Left unchecked, it doesn’t just wear you down, it steals years you can’t get back.
Unearthed is your chance to interrupt the cycle before it costs you even more.
Here's the thing
Survival mode doesn't go away with time
The cost of survival mode is bigger than you think.
Chronic survival mode doesn’t just show up in your mood.
It disrupts digestion, sleep cycles, hormones, memory, and even your cardiovascular health. Left unchecked, it chips away at your wellness, relationships, your joy, and your sense of self.
And yet—you’re told to cope better, hustle more, or just be grateful.
Rooted helps you address what’s really underneath: replenishing what’s been drained, regulating a fried nervous system, and reclaiming the woman you are beyond motherhood.
“Black women report the highest levels of chronic stress compared to other groups of women in the U.S.” —American Psychological Association
This isn’t drawn out weekly therapy. Or another mindset only coaching container. It’s a personalized, body-first experience that meets you in the thick of survival mode, helps you uncover what’s really keeping you stuck, and gives you a clear plan for what comes next.
Inside Unearthed, you’ll:
- Uncover what your body’s been carrying and release it so you’re not dragging the same weight tomorrow.
- Learn tools you can use right away so you feel steady even in the middle of chaos.
- Leave with a clear plan and workbook so you know exactly what to do after our session.
- Feel lighter and more grounded in real time so relief isn’t months away—it’s now.
It's the deep dive that gets you out of survival mode.

You’re done pretending you’re fine. On the outside, you’ve got it together. On the inside, you’re running on fumes—and you don’t want to live like that anymore.
You want big shifts without a long wait. Weekly therapy or coaching containers feel too slow right now. You need focused, immediate support that actually helps you feel relief this month.
Your body is begging for a reset. The jaw clenching, the sleepless nights, the constant bracing—you know survival mode has taken a toll, and you’re ready to feel steady again.
You’re ready to get to the root. No more surface-level “self-care” or quick fixes. You want to uncover what’s really keeping you stuck and actually move it out of your body.
You want clarity, not just coping. You don’t just want to “manage stress” anymore—you want a clear path forward that helps you show up differently in your life, your relationships, and your motherhood.
You want to feel like the decision-maker in your own life again. Survival mode has been running the show, and you’re ready to take your power back—to feel grounded, present, and in control of your choices.
This is for you if:
this is for me
I’m a licensed therapist and Matrescence coach who’s spent nearly 15 years helping women heal, reclaim their power, and rebuild their lives.
But motherhood showed me firsthand how depletion, dysregulation, and disembodiment take root in our bodies, and why the usual “self-care fixes” don’t work.
That’s why I created Rooted: to give moms of color body-led, trauma-informed + root-cause support that restores their health, relationships, joy, and sense of self. I blend clinical training, lived experience, and transformative tools so you can finally step out of survival mode and into a life that feels like yours again.

Is one 3-hour session enough?
Unearthed isn’t meant to “fix” everything in one day — but it is enough to create a major shift. You’ll walk away with immediate relief in your body, a clear roadmap forward, and tools you can use right away. Many of my clients feel lighter, clearer, and more steady after just this session. And if you want ongoing support, Unearthed can serve as a powerful starting point before moving into a longer program like Rooted.
some faqs before we get started
How quickly will I feel a change?
Most moms feel something during the intensive itself — less tension in their chest, calmer breathing, or a clearer head. The pre-session, intensive, and integration call are designed so you don’t leave wondering “what now?” You’ll notice short-term relief and know exactly what to do next to keep the shifts going.
I’ve tried therapy or coaching before. How is this different?
Weekly therapy and coaching can be powerful, but they often stretch things out. Unearthed gives you concentrated, tailored support in one immersive session. Instead of waiting months to feel momentum, you’ll leave with a curated plan, practical tools, and a reset for your body and mind. Many moms use this alongside therapy or as a jumpstart when weekly sessions feel too slow or unfocused.
What if I’m newly postpartum? Can I still do this?
Yes. In fact, Unearthed can be a powerful support in early motherhood. I believe survival mode in the postpartum period is sacred and a normal, appropriate response to the huge changes your body and brain are moving through. At the same time, most postpartum recovery programs miss the most foundational support—restoring your biology, supporting your nervous system, and honoring the Matrescence transition.
That’s where Unearthed comes in. Together, we’ll create a comprehensive, body-led postpartum recovery plan that goes beyond “bounce back” culture and truly supports your healing, regulation, and sense of self in this new season of motherhood.
What if I don’t have the time or energy right now?
That’s exactly why Unearthed exists. Instead of dragging yourself to weekly appointments, this experience concentrates months of support into one curated container. Yes, it’s a 3-hour commitment — but the pre- and post-sessions are spread out, and everything is designed to work with your real life, not add another burden to it.
“What if I wait until things calm down or I have more money?”
Here’s the thing: motherhood isn’t going to magically get less demanding. And the longer you run on depletion, dysregulation, and disembodiment the deeper those patterns get wired into your body — making it harder (and often more expensive) to unwind later. You can either invest now in rebuilding your capacity, energy, and joy… or keep paying the hidden costs in exhaustion, resentment, and health. The sooner you start, the sooner you feel the difference — and that ripples into every part of your life.
"I still have questions. Can I talk to you?"
Absolutely. You can send an email to me directly at vanessa@matrescenceincolor.com or DM me on Instagram @matrescenceincolor and I’ll help you figure out if this is the right fit for you. And that's what the free 60-min consultation is for too; so you can ask all the questions you have. You can click here to book a consultation. Zero pressure, just real support.
"I see you're a therapist. Can I use my health insurance to work with you?"
Unearthed is offered as a 1:1 support program. On the front end, everyone comes in through the same door: we work together to help you get out of survival mode and back into steady energy, improved health, joy, and selfhood.
If you live in Massachusetts or Texas (where I’m licensed as a therapist) and you’d like to use your insurance, we can structure your support as therapy and I’ll provide superbills you can submit for possible reimbursement if your plan offers out-of-network benefits. I am not an in-network provider.
For everyone else, Unearthed is offered as coaching with the same level of depth, tools, and support — and flexible payment plans are available.
Either way, you’re getting the full body-led, root-cause approach that makes this work different.
"Are the intensives online or in person?"
All intensives are held online via secure video, so you can receive deep, personalized support without having to leave your house. As a mom and therapist who works from home, I’ve found that virtual therapy intensives for moms in Texas are not only convenient, but just as impactful, especially for moms juggling work, kids, and everything in between. That said, you get to choose how you experience it. Some of my clients stay home and cozy up on the couch with tea. Others arrange childcare, take the day off, book a hotel, or even travel for the weekend to turn their intensive into a full retreat.
You’ve been saying you’ll slow down “next week” or “after things calm down.”
Unearthed is your chance to stop circling the same stuck points and actually feel a shift, fast. One powerful, curated experience to steady your body, clear your mind, and leave with a plan that feels doable in real life.
Sure, you could keep pushing through, book months of weekly sessions, or try piecing it together on your own. But you already know that only drags the cycle out.
This is different. This is relief now, without the wait.
Survival mode has already taken enough—your health, your patience, your joy.
Don’t wait for “someday.” Your reset starts now.
