Our Story
Alchemy of Motherhood was born from a simple truth: too many mothers are left unseen, unsupported, and unprepared for the realities of postpartum life. What began as one mother’s search for answers and community, has grown into a platform dedicated to shining light on the gaps in care, sharing real experiences, and creating a space where honesty replaces silence.
We started this work because every mother deserves to feel heard, validated, and equipped with the resources to navigate the challenges of birth, recovery, and beyond.

Every chapter of my story has been shaped by resilience, love, and the challenging reality of postpartum. From navigating birth trauma and postpartum preeclampsia, to facing the unseen struggles of postpartum mental health, my journey is one of vulnerability and strength. Through sharing my experiences, I hope to create a space where mothers feel seen, understood, and empowered.
The truth is, postpartum wasn’t what I expected. Beyond the glossy images and baby book checklists was a landscape of silence, of trauma dismissed, care overlooked, and mothers left to struggle alone. I wasn’t prepared for the indifference of the hospital room, the fear of a C-section dismissed in panic, postpartum depression and anxiety, or the darkness of intrusive thoughts that followed. What should have been a season of rest and bonding became a fight for survival, magnified by the lack of compassionate postpartum care.
My story is not just one of struggle, but of transformation. Postpartum unraveled me and remade me, demanding that I grieve the woman I once was while learning to embrace the one I was becoming. Healing hasn’t been linear, and survival hasn’t always been graceful, but both have been necessary. By sharing my truth, I hope to break the silence around birth trauma, postpartum mental health, and the gaps in maternal care, so no mother has to walk this journey alone.
