HELD:
Explore, Honour and Integrate
Your Motherhood Story
Do you long for a space to be held and supported to talk about, process, honour and heal your motherhood experiences?
Do you feel like there are parts of your fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum or motherhood experiences that you need support to process or work through?
Do you feel like there is some grief or unresolved feelings that your journey to becoming a mother, or your early motherhood experiences have left you with?
Maybe you feel like you need to integrate the experiences of becoming a mother. For most, there is no celebration or recognition of the rite of passage that pregnancy, birth and becoming a mother is, no way to honour the transformative experience that this is.
Motherhood is a profound transformation time. It is a rite of passage, one where we shift from who we were before to a different version of yourself, and on the way, we experience challenges, loss, joy, grief and more. So much shifts in this transition. It has a name, Matrescence - meaning the developmental process of becoming a mother. Becoming a mother involves much more then just giving birth or adoption, it often involves huge shifts in many areas of our lives - physical, emotional, social, in the way we see the world, our values, identity and so much more. At times this can feel really destabilizing.
When you are given the chance to feel heard and held in your experiences of fertility, pregnancy, birth and motherhood, some really profound shifts and healing can take place.
In this series of sessions, you will be guided through the exploration of your motherhood journey, your matrescence, looking at the impact that these experiences have had on you, the meaning you have made from them, allowing time to process and make sense of your experiences, honour the journey you have been on, and perhaps allow you to begin healing or see yourself and your experiences in a different way.
Through 6 sessions with me, you will be held through exploring, processing, honoring and integrating your motherhood story.
Over the six sessions we explore:
-
Your conception/fertility journey
-
Your pregnancy
-
Your birth story
-
Your postpartum
-
Your motherhood journey.
Some of these sessions may take a whole session or more, some may take less depending on what is present for you. This process is flexible to what you need at each stage.
I bring to this work a deep sense of holding (emotionally not physically), combined with therapeutic techniques such as narrative and self-compassion focused therapy, birth story medicine techniques, as well as guided meditations and somatic tools, to help you process and integrate each stage of your motherhood.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This is for any mother wanting to be guided and supported to explore, process and integrate their motherhood journey, whether you are a new mother or you had your children many years ago. We all deserve to be held through this process, no matter the stage.
WHAT SHIFTS MIGHT YOU NOTICE AFTER THE SIX SESSIONS?

Why work with Brielle?
Over the past 26 years of mothering my own children, who are now 6 to 26, and having worked with women as a Social Worker and counsellor for 20 years, I have felt and seen the impact of having the chance to have our stories heard, of having a chance to explore, process and integrate our fertility, pregnancy, birth and motherhood experiences. To be held in this by someone who has both life experience and is trauma informed, and can provide gentle guidance through this process is invaluable.
