I've known the grief of loss, the hunger of disconnection, the grind of trying to fit into systems that were never built for me.

What the allopathic world called infertility, autoimmunity, postpartum mood disorders, what I actually experienced was disembodiment and depletion. Years of overtraining, under-eating, trying to outperform a body that kept asking me to slow down.

I remembered something, eventually:

I am not here to hustle my way to wholeness.

That remembering, of rhythm, intuition, physiologic truth, is the same thing I've spent fifteen-plus years walking women through, across every threshold a body crosses. It's what Materia is built on.

I'm a Nux Vomica myself, the pattern of pushing through, overriding the body's signals, mistaking exhaustion for discipline. I used to believe my worth was tied to what I could produce. It isn't. That's not a theory I teach. It's the thing I had to unlearn first.

I'm still unlearning it. That's why I made this.

Ten years tending female physiology as an autonomous birthworker, midwife, and physiologic postpartum practitioner. 300+ women through my work before SOMAtriarch had its name. Homeopathy, somatic work, menstrual cycle awareness, and over a decade of sitting with women at birth and at death. None of it is theory. I built this from how I actually live.
