Matrescence Bath Ritual Guide & Workbook

A guided ritual for rest, reflection, and nervous system support during the transition into motherhood.

Motherhood changes us emotionally, physically, relationally, and spiritually. Yet many women move through this profound developmental transition without space to pause, reflect, or tend to themselves with care.

This offering includes:

a beautifully designed ritual guide & workbook

prompts for emotional processing and identity reflection

nervous system–supportive self-care practices

a quiet space to pause during the transition to motherhood

Created by Kathy Morelli, LPC, SEP Integrative psychotherapist specializing in trauma, attachment, and perinatal mental health.
