121 Pre and Post-natal Support
Supporting You Through Every Stage of Motherhood
121 therapy to support you throughout conceiving, growing, birthing and raising a baby — and yourself as a mother.
My approach combines Integrative Somatic Psychotherapy, perinatal emotional health support, and pregnancy yoga therapy.
This allows me to meet you wherever you are in your journey, offering care that is holistic, embodied, and deeply supportive.
I support women through the entire journey of matrescence — from conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and into motherhood.
The Transformation of Matrescence
Becoming a mother is not a single moment, but a profound and ongoing process. Women change, evolve, lose and gain parts of themselves, and experience life in new ways at every stage.
I believe there isn’t enough support offered to women through this initiation — and my work is here to hold space for you through it all.
I will help you through:

Exploring emotions and challenges connected to fertility and loss

121 sessions to support your unique needs
I advise booking a 6 session pack to develop a therapeutic relationship, however booking one session is also an option.
Before working together we will have a consultation call - book a free consult call directly below.
You will then be able to book packs of 1, 3 or 6 sessions.
Sessions can be weekly or bi-weekly and 60 or 75 minutes.
-
A free consultaion call - to better understand your needs, how we can work together and if we are a good fit
60 or 75 minute 1:1 sessions (online or in-person, Lisbon/Aroeira only)
Suggested practices and self-enquiry between sessions
-
Sessions are held online or in-person (Lisbon/ Aroeira only)
During the intake session we may identify some key areas to work on - this is open to change over time
Sessions will be a combination of working on areas we have discussed in previous sessions, and working on whatever it is you feel necessary to bring to a session (this could be new material)
Every session begins with grounding and regulation, giving you a chance to attune to yourself and how you are feeling
Sessions could be a combination of: talking therapy, somatic therapy, yoga therapy, pregnancy yoga/ movement, vocal work/ chanting, ritual - or more of one than another, depending on what it is you want to focus on, or where the session leads us
Online sessions require a quiet, undisturbed environment and a good WiFi connection - 95% of my clients are online and it works incredibly well
