Motherhood inevitably changes you, but this doesn’t mean you have to lose who you are.
And anyway… you’re not lost, you’re just growing.

SUPPORTING YOUR MOTHERHOOD JOURNEY
MATERNAL & PERINATAL SUPPORT SUPPORTING YOUR MOTHERHOOD JOURNEY
The journey into modern motherhood, matrescence, is hard. It’s no wonder you feel lost and untethered.
You don’t need more advice. You don’t need to fix yourself or your child. You just need support that understands you in the way you long to understand this new self.
Cos’ here’s the thing….
Mothering doesn’t happen in isolation. It deeply impacts and changes every part of your life. So you deserve someone to guide you through not only the big emotions, and the physical changes, but everything in between.
You need someone to empathise with your struggles, journey with you through the changes, and understand just how deeply motherhood has altered you as a person. And that’s where Maternal Occupational Therapy comes in.
“Every stage of this divine experience of matrescence and motherhood has its own challenges and deep rewards.”

ABOUT ME
I’m Tess, and I love nurturing women as they negotiate motherhood.
I’ve seen firsthand how when mothers push back against the unattainable ideals of modern motherhood they find liberation and get out of their heads and back into their hearts.
It’s not just about thinking differently (though this will happen too), but it’s about finding a way to feel and do motherhood differently.
If you want to reconnect with your instincts, trust your own motherly wisdom and soften into a rhythm of motherhood that works for you. I’m here to be the lighthouse that guides you there.
