Nourishing Breath Somatic Breathwork & Matrescence Support
For the woman you’re becoming.
Through gentle breathwork and nervous system support, I create space for women and mothers to slow down, reconnect with themselves and feel supported through their becoming. Based in Amsterdam.
Saskia Moët
Mother, breathwork guide & founder of Nourishing Breath
Becoming a mother is one of the most profound transformation we experience. It changes not only our daily lives, but also the way we relate to ourselves, our bodies, and the world around us.
When I became a mother, I found myself overwhelmed by this transition. I began exploring matrescence, the science of the parental brain, attachment, and nervous system regulation. At the same time, I kept returning to a simple question: surely motherhood was never meant to feel this overwhelming and unsupported? The more I learned, the more I realised that many mothers are carrying far more than they were ever meant to carry alone. This understanding became the foundation of Nourishing Breath.
My approach blends somatic breathwork, nervous system regulation, and an understanding of the parental brain to help mothers reconnect with themselves. Together, we work to release tension, reduce overwhelm, and cultivate calm, presence, and trust in daily life. I also draw on my background in cultural anthropology, which continues to shape the way I view motherhood. It taught me to look beyond individual experiences and question the wider structures, expectations, and cultural norms that influence how mothers are expected to care, nurture, and cope.
Through 1:1 journeys, circles and workshops, I support mothers in finding more space for themselves within motherhood, so they can feel more like themselves again.
The mother comes first.
Most parenting support focuses on the child. I start with the mother’s nervous system. When a mother feels more regulated and calm, connection and co-regulation begin to shift naturally.
Because motherhood was never meant to be navigated in survival mode.

Calm Within — 1:1 journey for mothers
For the mother who spend their days caring for everyone else, yet rarely have space to be cared for themselves. This is a gentle somatic breathwork journey designed to support you in creating more calm, awareness and regulation in everyday motherhood. Together, we move through a personalised three-part process: understanding what is happening, exploring what you need, and integrating what you discover into everyday life.
Start your calm journey.

Calm Together
A guided group journey for parents navigating the early years of parenthood.
The first years of parenthood can feel beautiful and overwhelming all at once. The Calm Together Method™ is a guided group journey for parents who feel overstimulated, emotionally reactive, or constantly “on”. Calm doesn’t begin with controlling your child; it begins with supporting your nervous system first. When a parent feels more regulated, children naturally respond with more calm, connection, and security. This method is absolutely not about perfect parenting. It’s about creating steadiness, confidence, and calm leadership in everyday family life.
