Welcome! I'm Maria, a postpartum and matrescence coach. My journey into mother-care began during my years as a full-time nanny caring for infants, where I witnessed firsthand the profound joys and challenges of the messy and miraculous transition women experience as they become mothers.

Driven by a deep interest in supporting women during this transformative period, I completed the Newborn Mothers Postpartum Professional training with Julia Jones in 2023. This course deepened my conviction that becoming a mother is a profound rite of passage, and sparked a passion for helping to fill our cultural gap in support for women in postpartum and early motherhood.

I also draw upon my certification (completed in 2024) in the Seasons of Matrescence framework developed by Nikki McCann, which emphasizes the cyclical nature of womanhood, acknowledging the internal winters, springs, summers, and autumns we all experience. By understanding these cycles, we can gain a sense of perspective and navigate change with greater ease.

My professional training, combined with my hands-on experience in family support and my academic background in English Literature, have provided me with a strong foundation in understanding this special phase of the human experience, exploring personal narratives as a means of transformation, and navigating nuanced emotional spaces with intention and empathy.

My approach is strengths-based and deeply personalized. Together, we'll explore your unique experiences, address any challenges you're facing, and cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and your evolving needs.
