The Initiatory Path of

Maiden to Mother

A 10 week journey to prepare yourself to find depth, meaning and empowerment throughout the extraordinary transformation that occurs when a woman becomes a mother.

Together we’ll reclaim the spiritual dimension of the reproductive health journey and remember the creators and sustainers of life that we are. 

This journey is designed for women who are planning for motherhood in the coming months or years. It is appropriate if you are in the preconception stage, actively conceiving or pregnant.

Next Cohort Begins Spring 2025

Becoming a Mother is an initiatory rite of passage. It is a journey into the unknown- one rich with the kind of challenges that show us who we are and what we’re really capable of. The total transformation of body, mind and heart that occurs when a woman becomes a mother should NOT be confined to the healthcare setting. Women deserve more.

Imagine if Becoming A Mother was the most spiritually profound and empowering experience of your life … 

 

Imagine if you had the knowledge to make truly informed decisions to prepare your body, mind, heart and spirit for vitality, resilience and ease for the rest of your life …

 

It IS possible to move through all 5 stages- Preconception, Conception, Pregnancy, Birth and The first year of life- of becoming a mother with the safety that modern medicine provides, the freedom to choose your own adventure AND the spiritual nourishment that helps us remember our role in the miracle of life.

 

  • This course will prepare you to experience the extraordinary potential of motherhood.  
  • This course will prepare you to experience how powerful you really are.   
  • This course will prepare you to break patterns of intergenerational wounding and HEAL generations to come. 
  • This course will prepare you to be unprepared for the great mystery that lies ahead.

You ONLY BECOME a mother once in your life.

So Are You Ready to Do the Most Important Work of Your life?

Does one or more of these

Resonate with you?

You want to be a mother but you haven’t found the right partner yet.

You want to become a mother but you still have a lot of healing to do before you’ll feel ready.

You feel pressure to pursue reproductive technologies but it doesn’t feel quite right.

You want to conceive consciously but don’t know how, or you are having difficulty conceiving.

You are READY to conceive but your partner isn’t quite there yet.

You don’t totally believe in the medicalization of childbirth but you don’t feel safe birthing at home.

You’re afraid of the pain of childbirth and don’t know how to prepare.

You want your pregnancy to be a deeply meaningful experience.

You feel overwhelmed by all the informed decisions you’ll need to make and want to empower yourself with the knowledge and tools you need to make the best decisions for you and your family every step of the way.

You want to protect yourself from the fear-based conditioning that accompanies the medicalization of conception, pregnancy and childbirth.

You prefer a balanced, holistic approach to your health and want to learn from someone who blends conventional & functional medicine with naturopathic & midwifery traditions and infuses it all with spirituality & mysticism.

You know there is more to becoming a mother than conception, lab tests, ultrasounds, baby showers & setting up a nursery. You can SMELL the miracle but you can’t quite taste it yet.

 

I am here to tell you that you are ALREADY ON THE PATH to motherhood. The transformation has already begun. And I want to hold your hand and walk beside you through ALL of THIS.

My personal journey

Stage 1: Preconception

I was single at 36 years old. I knew that I wanted to be a mother- but I couldn’t imagine meeting a partner that I would want to have a child with. I was a serial dater, stuck in a pattern of disappointed love. THIS is WHEN the initiatory path of motherhood began for me. The great challenge of finding The One took an incredible amount of self work, and through it I cultivated the unwavering self trust. And that trust is now my most valuable resource as a mother. 

At 37 years old I found the One, but he was not yet ready to become a father. And we had a lot of work to do together as a couple to BECOME the Two that would eventually become three.

Stage 2: Conception

4 years later, our love outgrew us and on July 10th, 2020 we consciously conceived our son seven days before my 42nd birthday.

Stage 3: Pregnancy

My pregnancy was easeful, my intuition was clear and I was able to experience myself as Unity consciousness.

Stage 4: Birth 

The birth did not go according to plan. With no preparation I was forced to confront my biggest fears, judgements and righteous opinions about how I WANTED TO GIVE BIRTH and SURRENDER to how my child wanted to enter the world. The initiatory path continued as I became aware that this was not MY birth ( I had my chance). This was my son’s birth and I had to learn to trust him.

Stage 5: The first year of life.

 This was by far the most challenging stage of the initiation for me- sleep deprivation, coregulation, grieving the death of an old version of myself- but not quite sure who I was becoming.

The emotional complexity of gaining a love so big that for the first time in my life, I had something significant to lose. The sacred anger within me that raged as I woke a mother in a world that does not support mothers.

Words from women in the last cohort of Becoming A Mother

Veronica

This program helped me to feel a lot less fear around the experience of becoming a mother. Erica is the first person I’ve ever met that approaches something from a holistic perspective and no judgment. It feels so good to have this knowledge and this course has helped me relax into myself and trust into divine timing in a different way. I no longer feel rushed and in the meantime I’m giving myself permission to enjoy the phase my partner and I are in now. This has taught me so much in ways that I didn’t even expect. I am now thinking about things that I never would’ve thought about. It helped me open myself up to thinking about it in a different way.

Madison

I came to this class as a birthworker that works with other women. Every woman should learn this. There are so many parallels between this rite of passage and other rites of passage that women go through. If every woman could hear this from the lens that Erica presented, we would all want to have children. This really empowers women. It cuts right through the noise.

Tanya L.

If you're wanting to dive deeper into the spiritual initiation of becoming a mother, and have conversations around the full experience (from a well-rounded perspective - not simply just a medical or society focused view), feel seen/held/supported in bringing up your challenges, fears, etc. around becoming a mother, this course is a space where you will feel very comfortable doing that.

Maria Ester Leon

This course was one of the best experiences I’ve had for my growth as a woman in general. Yes the Main topic was motherhood but Erica touched so many aspects related to being a woman in the 21st century. It’s possible to ride the waves and still keep your shit together and it’s ok if you don’t because you have you, your core beliefs, your creative power, your sovereignty. This course will change the way you see yourself, motherhood, your partner, and your future babies.

Freya

This course should be a requirement if considering motherhood and make sure you watch/attend every session, even the ones you don’t think are applicable to you.

About Your Guide …

Dr Erica Matluck  ND, NP is a devoted mama, a naturopathic doctor, a family nurse practitioner. a Reiki Master, a multidisciplinary yoga instructor, a midwifery school drop out, a teacher of many things and a forever student with over 20 years of experience in conventional and alternative medicine. She brings an original, holistic lens to well-being, weaving eastern and western philosophy to address all four quadrants of the self: Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual. 

Prior to opening her private practice in 2018, Erica spent a decade at One Medical Group building integrative medical services and training healthcare providers in complementary and holistic approaches to health. She has and continues to serve as a bridge between conventionally accepted standards of care and unexplainable, esoteric approaches to healing.

Erica’s professional journey began as a deeply personal one, when she lost her mother to lung cancer at 11 years old. Her mother’s passing opened the doors to unseen realms of the mysteries, inspiring her spiritual interests and orientation quite young. Watching her mother’s conventional cancer treatment ignited a lifelong curiosity about how people around the world heal. Her curiosity became a passion that has led her all over the world to study with healers and masters from the depths of the Amazon jungle, to the rainforests of Belize, to the foothills of the Himalaya mountains. 

In 2017 Dr. Erica synthesized all her knowledge and experience into the creation of Seven Senses, a holistic framework for healing and transformation.

Women’s health and the reproductive journey has always been a focus of Erica’s work, but it wasn’t until she became a mother herself, that this particular aspect of health really came alive. Becoming a mother was nothing short of a spiritual initiation for her, and she is currently focused on restoring holism on the path to motherhood.

She’s been featured in Harper's Bazaar, MindBodyGreen, Well and Good, Vogue, and Women’s Health.

More words from women who have worked with Erica …

Moolie

This course is a beautiful, deep, holistic approach to becoming a mother. Erica is knowledgeable, inspiring, realistic, and spiritual. If you are considering joining this course, do it, you'll be inspired in ways you can't even expect.

 

Maxine Dixon 

Through this course I found an inner wisdom, voice of reason, sensibility that was so lacking for me. It activated an inner remembrance/trust. It's what I didn't know I need on my journey towards conception and pregnancy. I've always known to quiet the noise but seeing Erica embody that and show up so diligently and devotionally was a game changer for me! Becoming a Mother is a life-changing experience and an opportunity to rediscover / access / awaken your own innate wisdom around motherhood & the sacredness of that journey. It completely shifts the paradigm around becoming a Mother in a way that is so nurturing and needed in our modern culture and in our personal lives.

Erica is the real deal. After decades on both the patient and professional sides of the medical system, I’ve never seen anyone with the skill set, ability and courage to take on what she ventures to do. For anyone who finds routine/specialized medical care inadequate; for example, due to multiple complex interacting medical conditions, I give her my highest recommendation. She is able to understand all the conditions and meds from the Western Med standpoint, and combine them with her vast toolbox of integrative med techniques. Here’s the magic - she can somehow see the details and the big picture at the same time - in the context of your personality, quality of life, values, lifestyle etc. AND she cares. My situation is very complex so I knew there was no magic bullet. But she has set me on new trajectories that I had not previously considered- including which coping skills to emphasize, which drugs to aim to decrease over time, and connecting the dots to a deeper philosophy and change.

Brighid

Working with Erica has been such a transformative experience, I have experienced so much healing on so many levels within the container we co-created. Working with Erica has brought me back to myself as my greatest healer - I have such a stronger connection to my body and a deeper understanding of how to support my body's healing moving forward. Overall the experience has been enlightening and empowering and I'm forever grateful for the work we did together.

Lisa

Working with Dr. Erica has changed my entire existence. That might sound dramatic, but the depth of the wisdom she shares and the beauty of her subtle approach spoke to parts of me that have been long asleep. Deep knowledge that needed dusting off, and wounds I never dared to touch before working with her. The progression of our sessions was organic and by design all at the same time. She holds up a gentle mirror for reflection, and those she helps heal DO go on to heal others. Her light is everywhere. If the rays of Dr. Erica’s work has somehow shown up in your life, do follow your hunch and connect with her.

Michelle

When I started seeing Erica a year ago, I was at constant war with my body. I was always bloated and everything I ate upset my stomach. I also wanted to get off birth control as soon as possible but feared I would relive the horrible acne I struggled with in the past. Erica’s guidance was life changing and when I went off the birth control my acne was nowhere near the level it was before. We completely transformed my diet, we worked together to figure out the different supplements and lifestyle changes that would support my natural cycle and hormones. Looking back at where I was a year ago when I started seeing Erica, I am now a completely different person. Erica has helped me reclaim my body and my health. Working with her has been one of the most valuable things I have done for my life and well being

Aliana

Erica is exceptionally insightful. Her coaching feels emotionally healthy and that it comes from a place of love. Her suggested experiments/exercises shifted my thinking and actions in ways I couldn't anticipate before starting my work with her. Since our sessions ended, I've started a new business and a new promising relationship out of (seemingly) nowhere. She helped me see the wisdom of my heart and gut so that I could lead my life from those places.

Amber

I came to Erica for help managing general anxiety and through our work together, walked away with so much more. I knew from the moment I met with Erica over the phone that she was going to impact my life in a big way. She bestowed tactics that went deeper than the usual recommendations for managing anxiety + depression (meditation, exercise, etc). Erica’s holistic approach digs deeper and explores not only the emotional and mental but the physical and spiritual planes and how they affect your life. Creating a flow through all 4 is a daily practice and through my work with Erica, I know how to manage all 4 and notice where I may need to pay more attention to. I would 100% recommend working with Erica - not just for managing anxiety, stress, or depression but for better understanding a holistic approach to living a happier and healthy life.
