Welcome
Supporting you, the Mama, while you raise your children.
AS FEATURED IN
Chelsea Robinson: Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Psychotherapist. Matrescence Educator. Motherly Expert.
With over 10 years of experience, Chelsea brings a relatable approach to supporting mothers with burnout, overwhelm and the cost of the mental load. She teaches mothers how to TAKE. UP. SPACE.
At some point in motherhood,
a mother stops herself to ask:
“Who am I?”
“What do I WANT?”
“What are my needs?”
“Who am I outside of “mama”?”
She thinks to herself:
“I miss my “me-time”.”
“This is not what I expected motherhood was going to be like.”
“Why is this so much harder than I thought it would be?”
“I thought I could “have it all”...”
If this is you; you aren’t alone.
Let’s get clear and break it down.
“It takes more time, energy and resources to raise ONE child today than it did to raise four children in the 60’s.”
Andrea O’Reilly, Pioneer of Motherhood Studies

Mothering is WORK.
Motherhood is hard (and not all it was sold to us as).
Being a mother is beautiful.
These are all DIFFERENT aspects of your experience, Mama. That’s why it is OKAY and normal to love being a mother and also not love mothering all the time. (If this is you, welcome to maternal ambivalence and the “messy middle”.)
When you’re experiencing
More mom rage than you’d like…
Issues with asking for help, let alone receiving it…
Feeling so tapped out you don’t even want to be around yourself sometimes…
Struggling to manage the mental load alone…
Missing your freedom and pre-kid spontaneity…
Feeling like a failure in every aspect of your life…
You probably are feeling the effects of intensive mothering and what it means to mother in patriarchal motherhood.
Take it as a cue that it’s time for something to change. The good thing? There’s hope; yet change takes commitment.

Are you a professional that supports Mothers?
The way we are currently supporting mothers is simply outdated. There is no amount of self-care we can prescribe, let alone no amount of inner-work a mother can do to change the motherhood she is a mother within. Supporting mothers takes advocacy, education and is political (Andrea O’Reilly).
