Mother of All Seasons is a 12-week seasonal folk medicine and ceremonial container for mothers navigating the identity shift into motherhood, matrescence, that feels like it was disrupted by an unplanned or emergency cesarean.
If you want to feel grounded in your intuition and at home in your body again as you navigate the changing tides of motherhood, this is for you.
The Founding Cohort
This is the founding cohort of Mother of All Seasons, the first group of women to move through this container, beginning September 1st and carrying through fall's turning into early winter.
Fall is the season of the setting sun, the descent into the intuitive, emotional body. This cohort works with that calling: harvesting what this year has brought you, receiving the bounty, and composting what needs to be released, and then beginning the turn inward before the quiet teachings of winter.
As a founding member, you're the first group to move through this together, which means some real things are being built for the first time. And because it's small and first-run, you'll have more direct access to me while this is still being built.

Maybe You're...
Still replaying your birth, looking for the exact moment it went wrong. You're ready to close the chapter on your cesarean, wreaking havoc on your emotions and spirit, and be able to say "I gave birth" with confidence.
Outsourcing your intuition to AI instead of trusting your gut. You're ready to trust your own instincts again, without needing to ask one of the AI oracles to confirm your hunch.
Enacting spiritual practices that feel vague and borrowed. You're longing to feel connected to ancestral threads and practices that actually feel like yours.
Remembering how you used to be more intentional and make things with your own hands. You're ready for that to feel like an easy part of your life again, instead of one more thing on your never-ending to-do list.
Feeling isolated and misunderstood in how intense your birth experience still feels. You're ready to walk into a room of mothers who don't need you to explain what the cesarean took from you, because they already know.
Scrolling other mothers' content, watching them live the slow, intentional motherhood you dreamed of, and feeling a flash of envy instead of inspiration. You're ready for a framework that helps you mark the turning of a season the way your grandmothers did, living more in tune with life's natural rhythms, instead of rage-scrolling past it.
Tired of the traditional therapy, the self-care, the journaling, because something in you still feels out of reach and disconnected. You're ready for a framework you can return to again and again, so you stay connected to your own spirituality long after these 12 weeks end.
You Need
A body of wisdom that is slow, beautiful and intentional, following nature's rhythm to help you trust yourself again.
You don't need more mindset prompts, pins saved on your Pinterest board, another meditation app, or six more months of waiting for it to pass.
Teachings and a space for somatic processing that understands the shift into motherhood, and the ongoing process of rediscovering yourself in motherhood.
You need a container built to get you out of your head and back into your body, one that helps you to honour your crossing into motherhood that was disrupted by the cesarean.
I'm Jessica
A licensed therapist, somatic coach, and the woman behind Birth Trauma Witch.
I had my own unplanned cesarean, and it cracked something open that years of clinical training hadn't prepared me for: I stopped trusting my own body, right when I needed to trust it most in finding myself in motherhood.
I found my way back to myself through tending to my relationships, my relationships to the land, to my own body, to the land-based practices of my ancestors.
In my childhood I grew up with the land itself as my closest company; my best friends were more often horses, trees, and creeks than people. Beyond my master's degree and years of training in somatic modalities, I've been in mentorship with spiritual teachers, land-based educators, ecologists, and shamanic practitioners. I've spent 5 years working with mothers through the process of navigating birth trauma and matrescence.
I often work with mothers who had a vision for how motherhood was supposed to go, and had it taken right out from under them at the exact moment they needed to feel most in control of their own body. My work is to guide you back to the things you already know how to do, through the teachings that have been valuable to me, in my life.

FAQ
Do I need to already know what matrescence means?
No. I'm happy to walk you through it as we go. It's simply the psychological shift into motherhood.
Is this therapy?
No. This is a coaching container, not a replacement for therapy, crisis support, or insurance-covered care. Many women find the two complement each other, but this isn't clinical treatment.
What if my birth wasn't a cesarean?
This founding cohort is built specifically around the unplanned or emergency cesarean experience, so our conversations center there. Future seasons may open more broadly. Join the waitlist to hear when that happens.
What if I don't feel "spiritual" yet, or don't have an existing practice?
That's exactly who this is for. You don't need to arrive already believing in ceremony or knowing your ancestry, just curious. This container helps you find whatever's actually yours, not hand you mine.
What are the call times, and what if I can't make them live?
Calls alternate between 10am PST and 6pm PST, six of each across the 12 weeks. You're encouraged to attend at least two a month. Recordings are available if you miss one.
Why join a founding cohort instead of waiting for a more established one?
Because it's small and first-run, you get more direct access to me while this is still taking shape, and founding pricing won't come around again.
