This is a space where all parts of you are welcome.

If your world feels like it's been cracked open, it’s because it has.

Motherhood reshapes your identity, relationships, and sense of self and with each new phase comes it’s own challenges.

Whether you’ve just had a baby or are in the thick of parenting this is a space for you to explore these changes, heal what feels heavy, and reconnect with the you that I promise is still inside.

“Becoming a mother leaves no woman as it found her. It unravels and rebuilds her. It cracks her open, takes her to her edges. It's both beautiful and brutal, often at the same time”

- Nikki McCahon

You didn’t expect motherhood to shake you so deeply, or change, well, everything

Some days you feel like too much, and other days not enough.

This is the wild, tender becoming of a mother. It’s a shift in bones, identity, and soul.

Not only should your transformation be acknowledged, but it needs to be honoured in all its contradictions. It’s beauty and grief, joy, exhaustion, love, and loss of self.

You can lay it all down here. You’ll be met with empathy, understanding, and honest support when you need it most.

Hi, I’m Laura.

Ocean lover, mother, and psychotherapist

Motherhood shook me to my core, the way it’s meant to. And it was only through learning about matresence (the becoming of a mother) that I was able to deeply understand the space I inhabited between who I once was and who I was becoming.

I’ve seen how transformative it is when mothers feel safe, supported, and understood in the in-between space. And how, with the right care, it can become a place of growth for you as a mother, a human, and a soul.

Therapy is not just about finding more calm in your day-to-day life, but about developing a deeper connection with yourself, your children, and everyone around you. When held with reverence, love, and care, your journey through motherhood can lead to profound healing on many levels.

It brings me so much joy to witness mothers coming home to themselves, reclaiming the parts they thought were lost, and breaking free from the system and expectations they carry.
