Embodied spirituality for women & mothers

with Amy May

Holistic Therapist, Innate Traditions Postpartum Care Practitioner + Spiritual Midwife

Connect to your innate wisdom as your primary current of Truth.

There is a deep need for spaces in which women and mothers are held and witnessed without being pathologized, coddled and diagnosed with “disorders”. We are not broken, we are not “crazy”, our culture is.

  • “Mother Nurture has become a non-negotiable in my life. It’s the way I make it through the insane madness that is being the mother of two children. The energy I get from the two hour call lasts me two weeks”

  • “This space has been a lifeline for me postpartum”

  • “Not a day has gone by where Amy's teachings, guidance and generosity has not influenced how I mother, and how I am able to show compassion for myself in this demanding journey”

  • “What Amy does is give a voice and words to the intangible, and sometimes unspeakable feelings and situations I feel and have felt as a woman and mother. She helps me to uncover parts of me that are hidden from myself and allows you to just be there for yourself and everyone else in the community”

  • “I don’t know another place that comes close to the depth I’ve seen and felt here on a daily basis. I didn’t realise before today that the looseness and ‘unfacilitated but facilitated’ model is a huge part of the potency of the group. It allows the flow. No right and wrong. Everyone held. So grateful”

  • “I'm really grateful that I found you and the community that comes with you. I wouldn't be the mother or woman I am without it. I wouldn't have the strength to step into this version of myself”

Subscription-based virtual community devoted to preserving our creative life force and honouring the sacred path of mothering.

IN SERVICE TO THE INSTINCTS OF MOTHERHOOD

Join us

I am a mother, creator and spiritual midwife: A student of Truth and the Divine Mystery.

I midwife women and mothers through major life transitions and seasons of evolution, teaching on our innate capacity to build safety in our bodies and lives so we feel powerful and fulfilled as creators.

I’m a certified Innate Traditions Postpartum Care Practitioner and trauma informed Field Facilitator, but experience is my greatest authority, I hold what I have lived and what I practice being with - the ascent, the descent and the terrain in-between.

My medicine is an expression of the bridge between spirit and matter; holding space for complexity and nuance in the overwhelming age of information and polarisation.

The journey of healing my relationship with my body (Soma) and Spirit is at the centre of all my offerings.

My work is to witness in love and empower with intuitive guidance.

Although I am currently based in Kommetjie, Cape Town, South Africa, I spent much of my self-reclamation and transformational journey and rite of passage years (10+) in London. My network in the UK is strong and I still serve women there and all over, virtually.

Mother care is the balm for mother hunger. At the core of our incapacity and lack of courage to center our own needs is a wound of never feeling seen and heard as children. Never feeling important enough to be centered. In a sense we are being called

Having kids is supposed to “ruin your life” The life and self before giving birth to children doesn’t support the life and self, of raising children. That life and self, would and should be, IN RUINS That’s the whole point.
