Hi Friends! My name is Nika and I’m a maternal mental health and embodiment practitioner.

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. I believe motherhood can provide an opportunity for us to step into a more powerful and supple version of ourselves. This space is an invitation to practice feeling, being, unlearning and reorienting with the goal of helping you embody the fullness of who you are becoming. I hope you’ll want to come back because you’re getting to know yourself better!

Together, we slow down enough to listen to what’s happening beneath the surface—the emotions, the body sensations, the protective parts, the grief, the joy, and all the contradictions that come with becoming someone new.

Through somatic practices, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and embodiment work, we practice coming home to ourselves.

Not becoming a better mother.

Becoming more fully ourselves while we mother.

Less fixing. Less optimizing. More curiosity. More practice.

My sessions are inspired by my diverse trainings and lived experience. I draw from somatic embodiment and regulation, IFS, full spectrum doula work, CBT, sports, acting, mindfulness, and perhaps most importantly my own ever-unfolding journey of mothering. Each of these modalities has offered a different container for accessing personal power, intuition, and joy. In our work together, I aim to offer tools from these varied resources that I hope spark something true in you—supporting you in moving toward the most authentic version of yourself.
