Embodied Mothering
Hello, I'm Annamaria
A recovering "good girl", a Motherhood coach, a Generator mama to a Manifestor toddler and the host of The Raw Mumcast.
For the longest time I didn’t want to have children, and I believed that mothers had it easy - brunching, playing and going for walks all day.
Then I became a mother and life laughed in my face. I've learned the hard way that mothering is relentless, that matrescence is a full-body, soul-level transformation, and that motherhood is a system built on martyrdom and unrealistic expectations.
Now, I’m on a mission to help other mothers navigate all of this with more ease. Because it’s NOT easy - but it can feel better. You don’t have to do it alone. You deserve support, space, and to still be YOU in all of this. If you’re in the thick of it, I see you, mama. You’re doing incredible.
Five years ago I thought being a mother
was just about cute baby snuggles and mild exhaustion.
Then I became a mother, and reality hit me like a truck. A beautiful, chaotic, sleep-deprived truck with heightened anxiety, being in stuck in freeze mode for months and feeling lonely with my experience.
Mothering is WORK.
Matrescence shakes your entire identity (whether you have a defined or undefined G centre in your Human Design).
Motherhood is a system that asks for everything and gives very little back.
That’s why I do what I do now - because we are NOT meant to navigate this alone.
My intention in sharing this story is simple, mama: you are not alone. And I hope to spark some curiosity within you.
Curiosity about you - about what it could mean to mother through Human Design and navigate the messy middle your way.
What if you could create a way of mothering that feels aligned with your true self, rather than bending to the weight of societal and cultural expectations?
What if you could remember yourself, feel alive again, and build a life you truly love?
You are not lost.
You are becoming.
I'm a mom who's still figuring out who I am in the messy middle
and I'm inviting you to walk this journey with me.
I’m still moving through matrescence. And despite all the therapy, coaching, and healing modalities I’d explored, postpartum still broke me open.
Motherhood brought layers I hadn’t yet touched - nuances I couldn’t have seen until I was in it.
Slowly (and often impatiently), I’ve been piecing myself back together - not into who I was before, but into someone new.
At the same time, I’m building a business while learning how not to burn myself out. And as I navigate this, I want to share what’s actually working.
I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to hold space for you to find yourself again - to co-create a path that feels right for you.
I’m here to play, create, and embrace each moment for what it brings - the joy, the chaos, the beauty, and the breakdowns. To embody wholeness - the light, the dark, and everything in between.
I lead with integrity and compassion, not because I have it all figured out, but because I know what it feels like to lose yourself in motherhood - and what it takes to find your way back.
This is the energy I serve from. The energy I channel when I show up for you.
Mama, this is your invitation to dance with me:
right here, in the messy middle.
My core values are
01
Authenticity
02
Harmony
03
Integrity
04
Honesty
Mama, you are pure MAGIC, full stop.
But you’re also in a constant state of becoming.
I whole heartedly believe this about you:
You are the expert in your own life. No one else can tell you what’s best for you.
You hold infinite inner power - the power to decide who you truly are, what you desire, and the kind of iconic life you want to create.
And I know you can create it.
