Motherhood
The maternal transition is a process of integral change: emotional, physical, psychological, relational and identity-shaping. A path that deserves to be accompanied.
A space for you, in a time of great change
Motherhood transforms. It transforms the body, identity, relationships, the way you exist in the world. It is a process that requires a complete reorganisation, and it doesn't always happen smoothly or in a straight line.
I offer you a specialised psychological space during the search for pregnancy, gestation, birth and postpartum. My goal is to care for your mental and emotional health at a time when the focus is often placed elsewhere.
It's not about being a perfect mother. It's about being able to inhabit this process with presence, support and without judgement.
I can support you with
- Pregnancy search and conception
- Fears, anxiety and ambivalence during pregnancy
- Emotional preparation for birth
- Postpartum adjustment and the first months
- Changes in identity and sense of self
- Guilt, self-demand and social pressure
- Difficulties in bonding and the relationship with your baby
- Changes in your relationship and close connections
The emotions that inhabit motherhood
Every emotion has its place. There are no good or bad emotions — only experiences that need to be heard, named and held.
The Dyad
The dyad is the emotional, relational and regulatory unit formed by the baby and their primary caregiver. Mother and baby are an interdependent system: what happens to one resonates in the other.
Caring for the mother is caring for the baby. Caring for the bond is caring for development. Supporting the maternal transition protects this founding relationship.
