For the Mothers & Families

Gentle support for healing after birth — in your time, within your capacity

You don’t need to have the right words to be here

Motherhood can change us in ways we never expected.

Sometimes the birth itself lingers in the body.
Sometimes the early weeks, months or years after birth feel heavier than we imagined.
Sometimes life simply feels different now. More tender, more fragile, more demanding.

You may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, flat, angry, tearful, or not like yourself.
You may also feel deep love and gratitude alongside grief, fear, anger or confusion.

All of this can coexist. All belong.

You don’t need to identify with the word trauma for this space to support you.
If something inside you knows that your nervous system has been carrying a lot, you are welcome.

A gentle approach to healing after birth

Healing after birth is not something to push or fix.

This work understands healing as something that unfolds — when there is safety, choice, and enough support.

Here, we move slowly. We listen to the body. We honour your pace.

There is no expectation to “get over it. No timeline you must follow. No right way to feel.

Healing is approached as body-led, relational, and deeply human.

Held Within Capacity

A living framework for healing

All of my work with mothers and families is grounded in Held Within Capacity — a trauma-informed, nervous-system-aware framework that centres:

  • safety before change

  • choice and consent

  • pacing and respect for capacity

  • gentleness over force

  • relationship over isolation

Capacity is not fixed.
Some days allow for movement and expansion.
Other days call for rest, protection, or simply being held.

Both are wise. Both belong.

How this work may support you

This space is for you if you are:

  • integrating a difficult, overwhelming, or confusing birth - it felt too much, too fast, lonely

  • navigating anxiety, hypervigilance, shutdown, or emotional numbness

  • feeling disconnected from your body or sense of self

  • carrying exhaustion that rest doesn’t seem to touch

  • adjusting to motherhood after survival, loss, or medical intervention

  • wanting a softer, more compassionate way to heal

Support may include:

  • trauma-sensitive yoga
    Slow, invitational movement that honours your body’s signals and limits

  • nervous system education
    Understanding what your body learned during birth and early parenting and paths to navigate big feelings

  • gentle reflection & journalling
    Making space for your story without pressure to relive or analyse

  • relational support
    Healing that recognises we are not meant to do this alone

Everything is offered with flexibility. You are always in charge of what you engage with — and what you don’t.

For mothers, parents, and families - in all their forms

This work is inclusive of:

  • mothers at any stage postpartum

  • parents and caregivers supporting their own healing

  • families navigating early parenthood after a challenging start

You are welcome whether your birth was recent or many years ago. The body remembers — and it also knows how to soften, when it feels safe to do so.

A note for Brazilian mothers

Talvez você não se identifique com a palavra trauma — e tudo bem.

Muitas mulheres chegam até aqui sentindo apenas que algo foi demais.
Rápido demais.
Sozinho demais.

Você não precisa de um diagnóstico para merecer cuidado.
Seu corpo já sabe a sua verdade.

Este trabalho honra a sua história, no seu tempo, com delicadeza e respeito.
