My journey into Motherhood is essentially every womans journey, only the circumstances vary. While our stories are different the common thread that binds us is the deep love we have for our children and the profound changes we encounter as we are reborn into Motherhood. Our love, our pain, our confusion, our challenges are universal, only our stories are different.
The path to accessing my Divine Feminine Power was set in motion by a documentary that changed my perspective: “The Business of Being Born.” It opened a door to a world where women felt empowered, capable, and respected as they gave birth and I very much wanted to feel this way as I welcomed my daughter into the world.
As my daughter grew inside me, I embarked on my own journey of transformation.
My prenatal care evolved from a holistic pregnancy with an OBGYN to a hospital midwife and finally in my last trimester to home birth. I never in a million years saw myself giving birth at home but that is what ended up happening. Each shift mirrored the divine changes occurring within me. Pregnancy meditation, prayer, and energy work became my companions, helping me tap into deeper intuitive wisdom. Giving birth became not just a physical event but a spiritual journey that I surrendered to. My daughter was born in March of 2022 and I was about to learn that my journey of surrender was just beginning.
The early days of motherhood felt like being cast into the deep end of a pool, struggling to stay afloat.
The waves of emotions and hormonal shifts were overwhelmingly intense, and I was caught off guard by the dramatic changes occurring in my body. Each day was a rollercoaster — one moment I was crying tears of bliss holding my daughter, and the next, I felt lost, unsure, and inadequate.
Navigating this new world was daunting. The wisdom I had embraced during pregnancy seemed to disappear amidst the chaos of newborn life and despite all of my preparation in pregnancy I found myself lacking the skills to soften and surrender to motherhood.
Around the 5- to 6-month mark, the pressure to “bounce back” intensified.
I tried to juggle my role as a new mother with returning to work — while battling:
Repressed childhood trauma & PTSD
Hormonal imbalance (PMDD)
Chronic sleep deprivation
Postpartum depression and anxiety
Difficulty setting boundaries
Adrenal fatigue and insomnia
Societal expectations clashed with my reality, and the solutions offered — therapy or psychiatry — didn’t give me the tools I needed to embrace and surrender to Motherhood.
I felt an acute awareness of the gap in postpartum care. My job lost its meaning, and the thought of being away from my daughter for more than a few hours triggered crippling anxiety. I questioned what was "wrong" with me and felt isolated, a shadow of my former self.
But deep down, I knew this pain was an initiation, a call to surrender to Motherhood so I could embrace the joys and the sorrows of this Divine rebirth.
Though it felt like climbing out of an abyss, I emerged stronger and more connected to my purpose.
Frustrated by the lack of progress I was making in therapy, an unexpected breakthrough came while receiving a Reiki session. For the first time, I connected with my inner child and showered her with love and affirmation. This profound experience accelerated my healing in ways I hadn't thought possible. Seeking Divine Wisdom and guidance through prayer and meditation, Reiki, and other healing modalities were the tools I found most beneficial for my holistic postpartum care.
Through the struggle, I discovered that the guidance I sought was within me all along. When I took the time to “be still” the wisdom of my heart poured through. In this quiet space I was able to access my own divine motherly instincts and nurture the bond with my daughter from a place of deep, intuitive understanding and confidence. When I tuned out all of the voices of the world and the thoughts of “how it should look” I found peace. When I stopped trying to “bounce back” and decided to try just “rolling forward” I softened and Motherhood became much more enjoyable.
As I continued to let go, I found peace, hope, and meaning amidst the chaos.
I began sharing my journey with other women. I realized that although our experiences in motherhood vary, the feeling of isolation and overwhelm is universal. I became passionate about illuminating the “shadow side” of motherhood, shedding light on the unspoken struggles that unite us all.
Motherhood challenged me to let go of control and embrace a softer, more intuitive way of being. I learned that the skills needed in motherhood are deeply feminine — embracing the flow rather than imposing my will. Only through surrendering to the process of birth and rebirth as a mother, the beauty and the pain, the light and the darkness, making room for all of it was I able to find peace and contentment.
Looking back, I wish I could have hugged my past self and assured her everything would be okay. I wish I could tell myself that being depressed and anxious in this season didn’t mean there was something “wrong” with me. My melancholy was simply a response to a world that lacks support for new mothers and a sign of a deeper need for connection, resources, and empathy.
So, I decided to fulfill that need for other women as a Motherhood Empowerment Coach. I created the support I so desperately needed throughout each season of motherhood — the support we so rightfully deserve — and everything began to change.
In July 2023, Divine Mother Awakening was born. I awoke with a clear vision of my purpose to support women with holistic postpartum care through this magical, challenging, transformative period of their lives.
My pain had a purpose and I knew walking with women through the Metamorphasis of Motherhood was my calling.
I continue my own healing journey and do my best to surrender to motherhood everyday. Some days are better than others. By no means have I “mastered motherhood” but I have found peace and contentment in matrescene. I have found happiness and hope by deepening my connection to the wisdom of my heart by seeking Divine guidance through prayer, meditation, and energy work.
I am a Reiki Master, EFT practitioner, and have over 11 years of experience as a spiritual life coach and meditation guide.
I am here to serve with my whole heart — to be the friend, guide, and support I wished I had during my darkest moments. I am a here to honor and empower you in your sacred transformation and rebirth as a mother. Through the darkness and the light we will walk shoulder to shoulder on this magnificent journey of Motherhood.
