Amy was born to Polish/Serbian parents, grew up in UK and now living in Portugal where her daughter speaks fluent Portuguese!

 

Amy studied Anthropology and did both of her final thesis on subjects within motherhood, one on the sexualization's of breastfeeding and the other arguing the case that home birth is safer than hospital birth. 

 

Now, Amy is a postpartum educator and coach for new time mothers navigating the transition into motherhood: Matrescence.

 

The postpartum time is an opportunity to set the stage for the next 40 years of a mother's life with the right kind of healing, support, bodywork and mindset, the transition which can often include growing pains can flow with a little more ease and with a lot more support.

 

Amy teaches Postpartum planning workshops where she goes into the 5 pillars as a foundation of knowledge that supports healing. She is also a Vaginal Steam facilitator and gives plans for labor prep and postpartum cleanses. She also holds yoni steam circles and Mother Fire circles. Amy is trained with Rachelle Garcia Seliga of Innate Traditions where she learned the approach of modern science meets ancient traditional knowledge. She also trained with Julia Jones from New Born Mothers where she learnt the foundations of being a postpartum doula.

 

Amy thinks that motherhood is a gateway into the most powerful meaningful part of a womans (who wants to have children) life. She is passionate about spreading the knowledge of postpartum healing  and support all that is becoming in a newborn mother weather that be her 1st or 5th baby!

 

When a baby is born so is a mother.

 

"The most difficult part of birth is the first year afterwards. It is the year of travail – when the soul of a woman must birth the mother inside her. The emotional labor pains of becoming a mother are far greater than the physical pangs of birth; these are the growing surges of your heart as it pushes out selfishness and fear and makes room for sacrifice and love. It is a private and silent birth of the soul, but it is no less holy than the event of childbirth, perhaps it is even more sacred." -Joy Kusek
