Sessions
Support through the transition to motherhood (matrescence)
Online 1:1 sessions offering safe, compassionate emotional and practical support to understand, process and validate the profound psychological, physical and social transformation a woman goes through when she becomes a mother.
Who is it for?
- Women in the preconception stage or trying to get pregnant.
- Pregnant women who want to prepare psychologically for the change.
- Mothers in the early or late postpartum period (including the first years of parenting).
- Mothers who feel ambivalence, loss of identity, guilt or emotional overwhelm and need a judgment-free space.
Duration and frequency
Sessions last 55 minutes. They are usually weekly or every two weeks, adapting to the mother’s pace and needs, and the whole process can last a few months depending on each case.
What do we work on?
The content adapts to each woman’s experience, but it is generally built around the following pillars:
- Validating maternal ambivalence: A space to express contradictory feelings (such as deep love for the baby alongside nostalgia for the life before) without guilt.
- Rebuilding identity: Support in grieving the “woman before” and in the birth of the “identity as a mother”.
- Expectations vs. reality: Looking at social pressure and the myths of the “perfect mother”, and how to build a real motherhood of your own.
- Emotional regulation and self-care: Practical tools to manage stress, chronic tiredness and mental load.
- Support network and partner: Reviewing the new couple dynamic (if there is one) and strategies to communicate needs assertively to those around you.
