For Mothers
"Motherhood brings as much joy as ever, but it still brings boredom, exhaustion, and sorrow too. Nothing else will ever make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired." — Marguerite Kelly
You can be years into motherhood and still feel like something needs tending. You can be thriving in most areas and quietly falling apart in one. You can have a name for what you're carrying — or no name at all, just a weight.
All of it is welcome here.
This page exists because motherhood is one of the most significant transitions a person can move through — and one of the least supported. The postpartum period, pregnancy and infant loss, birth trauma, the slow erosion of self that can happen over years of caregiving — these are not small things. They deserve real, skilled, sustained attention. That is what this practice is built to offer.
You do not need to be in crisis. You do not need a diagnosis, a referral, or a clear sense of what you need. If you consider yourself a mother — regardless of how you came to that role, what your family looks like, or where you are in the journey — and something here speaks to you, that is enough
There's a name for what you're feeling
Matrescence is the developmental transformation of becoming a mother — as significant as adolescence, and almost never acknowledged. If you feel like you lost yourself, love your child fiercely and still grieve who you were, and don't yet know who you're becoming — that is matrescence. It is real and it is enormous and you are not alone in it.
PMADs— perinatal mood and anxiety disorders — affect up to 1 in 5 women and show up as more than just sadness. Depression that feels like numbness or irritability. Anxiety that won't turn off. Intrusive thoughts that horrify you. Rage that floods you and leaves you drowning in shame. Birth trauma. Grief. A persistent sense that something is wrong even when you can't name it.
And then there is everything in between — the exhaustion sleep doesn't fix, the loneliness company doesn't touch, the feeling of running on nothing while being expected to be everything. That doesn't have a diagnosis code. But it is real and it belongs here.
You don't need to know which one applies to you. That is what I'm here for.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy — Individual
"Be a full person. Motherhood is a glorious gift, but do not define yourself solely by motherhood. Be a full person. Your child will benefit from that." — Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
One-on-one KAP for mothers ready to approach healing through a different door. Individual KAP is a private, flexible process — the preparation, medicine sessions, and integration work are shaped entirely around you and what the work requires.
Olivia has a particular specialty in perinatal mental health and welcomes mothers at any stage who are seeking this kind of support.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one therapy for mothers navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, perinatal mental health, and the identity shifts that come with motherhood. Relational, body-informed, and built around what you actually need — not a protocol.
This is ongoing individual work, just you and Olivia, at whatever pace the work requires.
The Village Within — Three-Month Program
A three-month group ketamine-assisted psychotherapy program for mothers ready for depth. A small cohort of six to eight women move through three full cycles together — each month including a group preparation session, a medically supervised ketamine session, and a group integration session.
The group itself becomes part of the healing. Being genuinely known by other mothers, over months, without performance or pretending — that is what builds the village that was missing.
Held — Single-Day
The Most Radical Thing a Mother Can Do is Rest. All the Way Down
A ketamine-assisted psychotherapy retreat for mothers ready to put something down. One carefully held day — a small group of women, a group preparation session the week before, the medicine session, and a group integration session the week after.
You will not be alone in it. You will be witnessed. And the medicine — both the ketamine and the connection — will be part of how you heal.
Equine-Assisted Therapy
The grounding, regulating quality of equine work makes it particularly well-suited for mothers. There is something about standing next to an animal that doesn't need anything from you that can be genuinely restorative in a way that is hard to find elsewhere.
Equine-assisted therapy will also be available as a KAP integration option — anchoring what opens in the medicine session into the body and the present moment.
