About Rita

Hi there, I'm Rita Pietrosanto!

I am a biological mama of 2 and a bonus mama of 2, so safe to say I run a busy little household! I run this ship with my best friend, my twin flame and I can’t imagine life without him.

With over 15 years under my belt as a Psychotherapist and Social Worker, I've found my calling in blending the best of clinical expertise with holistic healing. My passion for supporting mothers, has been fueled by my own challenges and triumphs in motherhood, especially through conscious conception and being able to navigate the HUGE range of deeply personal, yet inevitable changes that unfolded after my first son was born. I have a deep calling to help guide and support all women who have transitioned from maiden to mother and you will find me doing what I can to help.

I have co-facilitated and created 'Awakening the Bump,' with my favourite Naturopath and good friend, Karina Francois, focusing on the wonders of conscious conception and teaching how to prepare the mind, body and soul for conception.

I enjoy holding space for mothers in the form of Sacred Mama Circles, a special space I've created for mothers. It's all about exploring and embracing Matrescence, a journey that's so vital yet often overlooked. Sacred Mama Circles are a heartfelt offering, specially designed for mothers who are on the cusp this life-changing journey. These circles are more than just a gathering; they are a sanctuary where mamas can come together, share experiences, and grow.

Otherwise, you will find me hosting my own podcast called Holding Space For Her. A fortnightly source of inspiration, validation and understanding for mothers.

My mission? To make sure that your journey to motherhood is more than just getting through it – it's about thriving, growing, and really enjoying this incredible transformation. I'm here to guide, support, and empower you every step of the way!

My greatest blessing? My family!
