Matrescence guide
Maternal mental health coach
Full spectrum birth doula/educator
About me
My name is Nika and I’m a maternal mental health practitioner and full spectrum doula. I draw on the lineages of somatics, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy in my practice.
I work with matrescence in all its wild glory. Whether you are yearning to become a mother or well into the throws of the mush, this journey comes along with a profound identify shift. This shift can feel like a death. It can also feel like a magnificent rebirth. Often both! These changes in your body and brain almost inevitably bring a span of emotions ranging from grief to exhilaration. This is the space to practice feeling them all with the goal of helping you embody the fullness of who you are becoming.
Matrescence is the process of becoming a mother*, it’s a time of transformation, evolution, and metamorphosis.
*A note on the word mother*To me, mothering is more about a feeling than it is related to gender. I consider it a verb. Mother energy is BIG and WIDE and has room enough for us all.
