IN A WORLD BUILT ON ISOLATION, SCARCITY, AND SUPREMACY,

YOUR WORK, YOUR VISION, AND YOU ARE NEEDED.

It’s time to lead with care.

You love your chosen field fiercely and want to work for change in the world, but the grind and pressure of The Care Complex has worn you down, told you you can’t show up as yourself, and told you not to expect much in terms of your own support.  In a world that devalues care and weaponizes anger, you’re ready to pay attention to what your frustration is signaling and let it serve you instead of stifling you.

I work with care-based service providers who feel deeply connected to their work and purpose, but have a serious bone to pick with the current culture of caregiving. People who are fed the f*ck up with being told they should let their time, energy, and money be a faucet and be sustained only by their compassion, but who can’t question those beliefs because that’s not how “good” care professionals feel. Providers who want to bring an innovative, rebellious, and justice-centered vision into their work, but who feel stifled by internal and external narratives around what they are allowed to do.

I don’t want you to shut down your distress. I want you to step into it.

And let it save you.

My work with you is to help you legitimize and substantiate your care-based services and leadership.

I help my clients use the Care Leadership Framework to create and refine their small service-based businesses, and to unfurl leadership and business practices based in matriarchal (instead of patriarchal) values.

 

Here’s how we can work together:

 

1:1 Coaching Packages

6-session, $1200 USD

12-session, $2200 USD

(Payment plans available at no extra charge)

These packages include 75-minute calls, as well as Voxer office hours in which you can receive asynchronous support with a quick turnaround time. Curated resources will be provided as needed. Sessions must be used within as many months.

This is for you if you prefer an individualized setting in which you can go at your own pace and have the Care Leadership Framework personalized for your specific needs.

Using the four pillars of the Care Leadership Framework- Fangs & Claws, Generativity, Attunement and Lineages- we work to help you name and befriend your vision, attune with your most beloved clients, create business practices that are sustainable and generative, and flesh out a collaborative ecosystem of support, so that you can run a business that is grounded in your ferocious values, a settled nervous system, and full expression of your humanity.

Group Coaching Programs

While I don’t have any group programs open for registration currently, I offer two signature groups throughout the year.

Makin’ (Business) Babies is a quick and dirty 4-week group coaching program for care-based providers who want to birth their solo care-based businesses into the world, but aren’t sure where to start or if this is possible. It includes six 90-minute group coaching calls, a 1:1 coaching session for each participant, and a workbook of resources.

The Matriarchy Mastermind is a longer, more intensive group coaching container, which runs for six months and is designed for participants who know they are ready to take the leap into a new entrepreneurial adventure, and want deeper, more spacious support. Each month features three 90-minute live calls (one structured “lesson,” one group coaching session, and one based on the group’s needs), as well as two 1:1 coaching sessions, and access to a library of resources.

Any group I offer is capped at 10-15 people, in order to offer a high-touch, high-attunement experience, and tailor the content to the ecosystem of each specific group.

This is for:

Care-based service providers…

A pretty broad category, as there are many ways one can give a care-based service, including, but not limited to: therapists, coaches, birth workers, educators, sex workers, creatives, fitness professionals, stylists, aestheticians, health care professionals, and other assorted helpers and healers.

Please note that if we work together, it is expected that you have the necessary training, licensure, and/or certification to be practicing or operating in your field.

With feminist, justice-oriented, change-making values…

You are aware of your identities and any unearned privileges or marginalizations you have, and are committed to creating a business that does not replicate or perpetuate oppression or injustice to yourself or your clients. You do not need to be perfect or have it figured out- I sure don’t- but you must be ready to reckon and untangle- even when it’s not in your favor.

Who may be looking to move out of agency, school, clinic, or other traditional 9-5 work…

This is you if you are in the conception or birthing stages of your business. You have an idea, a dream, a program, or are just at your “fuck-it moment,” as my coach, Kelly Diels, likes to say. 1:1 coaching can help you cut through the doubt and confusion and supply you with the confidence, direction, and tools to get established without getting stuck in the planning stage longer than you need to.

Or who have already established their solo business…

This is you if you already have your small care-based service business open to clients, or have an offer that you run…but it’s not feeling like you expected. 1:1 coaching can help you get louder and clearer with your message, call in your most beloved clients, audit your business practices and values, create a cohesive menu of offerings, or make sure you’re supported with some healthy margins.

Or who are leaders or management in care-based service fields…

And this it you if you aren’t an entrepreneur or small business owner, but are in a leadership position at a care-based institution or profession. 1:1 coaching, using the Care Leadership Framework, can help you audit your workplace and leadership practices to create organizational cohesiveness and congruence and a lineage of justice-oriented, thriving care for your employees and community.

And want to create matriarchal businesses,

Let’s start with this: no, you do not need to be a mother, or a woman, in order to operate a matriarchal business. Matriarchal businesses are based in matriarchal values: collaboration, creation, wisdom, trust, nurturing, attunement, generativity, and conservation. Matriarchal businesses are in opposition to patriarchal and supremacist business structures and practices, which are unfortunately the norm and model.

 For 1:1 sessions and the Matriarchy Mastermind, we start with a free 30-min Connection Call to see if this is the right fit (for Makin Business Babies or quarterly workshops, you just need to register when doors open).

You can get started on either (or both!) by clicking below:

If you registered for MBB or a workshop, you’ll get a link to your payment plan, followed by a welcome email, and that’s all you need to do until we begin!

For 1:1 sessions, keep reading through the end!

First, you’ll get a confirmation email containing a link to our Zoom; add it to your calendar.

We’ll meet! We’ll figure out if we’ve got chemistry and are a good fit for each other and the group. (If I don’t think I’ve got what you need, I’ll tell you; and then I’ll try to refer you to other resources or another coach or consultant.)

Time to get started! I’ll give you a link to book your coaching sessions or register for the group, and away we go. Have questions? Yes please, reach out. You can email me, at hello@welcometothematriarchy.com

 

A note:

My work is grounded in the reality that, to paraphrase Kelly Diels, “although none of us were born into a culture of justice, we do not have to cosign that injustice and allow it to flow through our bodies or our bodies of work.”

 

In other words…

The Caregiver Complex is the villain here, not you, and not each other.

 
 

Because of this, I don’t believe that the work and healing stops at an individual level, and so, it is imperative that my clients are open to naming, examining and challenging the oppressive systems that dominate our current culture of care, namely, but not limited to, the patriarchy, white supremacy, diet culture, and capitalism.

Further, The Caregiver Complex is responsible for the norms of supremacy, scarcity, and individualism and the pervasive judgment of caregivers by outsiders and each other. Working with me, whether in a group or individually means you will be asked to notice and respond to your own judgment and comparison, and assume responsibility for your own experience, and the well-being of the group as a whole.
