The Sanctuary

1:1 postpartum mentorship

You have just crossed one of the greatest thresholds a woman will ever know…

Birth showed you how powerful you are when you surrender to the unknown and allow the wisdom of your womb to lead the way. And by doing that, it tore the veil between who you were and who you are becoming.

On one side, there’s the woman you used to be — her rhythms, her certainties, the self she spent years building. On the other, there’s something entirely new and vast and completely unknown. And in between the two, it’s you, standing exactly at the place where those two worlds meet, holding a tiny human that’s totally dependent on you.

Nothing prepared you for this particular kind of vertigo. The beauty of it. The rawness of it. The way it asks everything of you all at once without asking if it’s too much or if it hurts.

Because the truth is that postpartum is not a recovery. It’s an initiation.

And initiations were never meant to be walked alone.

where you are met inside this portal in all of its rawness, mystery and transformative power.

Here, in this protected space, you will not only be held through the uncharted territory of early motherhood — you will begin to know yourself inside it. You will begin to trust the deep inner compass that has always been there, even when the path ahead seemed invisible to the eye. You will begin to access a knowing that comes from your bones, from your blood, from your sacred womb.

You will not leave the same woman you arrived. You will leave knowing who you are as a Mother — and what you need in order to fully embody this new version of yourself.

A deep 1:1 mentorship that bridges the wisdom of your postpartum body with the spirit of your becoming.

This is not about getting back to who you were. It’s about arriving, fully, into who you were always meant to be.

APPLY NOW

whether you are in the tender early days of the fourth trimester or further along the path and seeking the support you never received.

What We Hold Inside The Sanctuary

This journey is guided by your body and your needs as the compass and north star. There is no prewritten agenda, no rigid curriculum. What comes through is what you need, when you need it.

Some of the sacred ground we may walk together:

  • Nervous system restoration — meeting the dysregulation that lives in a postpartum body and learning to come home to safety within yourself.

  • Core & pelvic floor rebuilding — approached with thorough assessment, deep care and reverence for what your body has just done and what is still integrating.

  • Somatic & embodiment practices — to help you process, release, and settle into the new landscape of your body.

  • Emotional & identity integration — gradually building the capacity to hold the grief, the expansion, the identity shift, the love that breaks you open — and allowing yourself to receive the gifts that come from fully experiencing it all, without rushing or running from it.

  • Practical nourishment & ritual— building sustainable rhythms for your everyday life that actually support your postpartum body and your newly forming self.

  • Discovering your inner compass — learning to trust the deep knowing that lives inside your cells, and follow through even when you’re navigating completely uncharted territories.

  • Spiritual & initiatory support— honouring the underworld passage of postpartum for what it truly is and creating opportunities for ritual, ceremony and devotion inside a life that can feel utterly cluttered and hopelessly mundane at times.

  • Heartwork & integration practices — weekly written or recorded practices, audio journeys, and somatic invitations crafted specifically for you.

& so much more that lives in the mystery of each Mother's journey

HI, I’M CRIS

I’m a practitioner, mentor, and Mother — and I have devoted my work to walking alongside women through one of the most transformative thresholds of their lives.

I know what it feels like to stand at the threshold of motherhood with no map, no village, and no one to tell you that what you are feeling is not a crisis — it is a crossing.

I have intimately experienced the exhaustion of giving everything to a new life while your own is quietly asking to be seen. I gave birth in June 2020 in the middle of a pandemic, in a foreign country, far away from both our families, and I’ve spent months and years figuring out on my own everything, from nutrition to body care and physical restoration, from emotional and mental health support to identity and spiritual integration.

What I found on the other side of that unravelling — and what I wish someone had offered me in the thick of it — became the foundation of The Sanctuary.

My work draws from somatic healing, womb and pelvic care, nervous system restoration, physical training, and the deep well of ancestral feminine wisdom. But more than any modality, what I bring into this space is presence. The willingness to sit with you inside the uncharted territory of your becoming and hold you through it all — without rushing, without fixing, without asking you to be anywhere other than exactly where you are.

The Sanctuary was born from my own initiation into motherhood and from an unwavering commitment to walking beside every Mother who is ready to be deeply met through hers. Because when a Mother is truly held — not managed, not coached through a curriculum, but genuinely held — everything changes. For her. For her baby. For every generation that follows.

    "The postnatal program created by Cris gives women in their postpartum phase great guidance to reconnect with their body and mind. I feel very lucky to have found the program because it helped me so much during the first weeks after giving birth when I was struggling with abdominal separation, lower back pain and sleep deprivation. Cris‘ calm and reassuring way of explaining the exercises makes it easy to follow, and the short sequences allowed me to actually find time to practice at my own pace."

  • A woman with dark hair and tattoos lying on her back on a starry yoga mat, smiling and looking up, with a baby lying on her chest, both extending their arms upward.

    "This program was the perfect way to come back to my body in a gentle way and learn how to reconnect with my body after giving birth. I loved the fact that the sessions are short and easy to fit into my daily life, even with my babe around and I can really understand how it can support women in preventing mood disorders. After finishing the program I feel ready to go back to my usual workouts without any worries that I might mess something up."

    — Dana B.

  • A young woman with dark hair wearing a black top, standing against a brick wall.

    “This program was one of the best things I’ve done for myself since giving birth. It really helped me focus on me and my health and not just the baby’s. I got stronger (pelvic floor included) and felt myself enjoying working out again when I dreaded what exercise would be like post pregnancy. Cris really makes easing into working out fun and easy from the first video to the last. The program is so easy to follow and very flexible, so it is very manageable with what little time you have as a mama.”

    — Anca B.

  • A woman with brown hair smiling outdoors on a balcony or patio, with a flowering shrub and city buildings in the background.

    “I highly recommend working with Cris no matter if you’re just starting out or you already have experience and want to go a deeper in your practice. Her attention to detail during our session meant not only that she helped me modify the poses and exercises in order to match my fitness level, but the gentle correction on form (when needed) speaks highly of her deep understanding of female anatomy and physiology.”

    — Ioana O.

  • A woman with shoulder-length curly brown hair smiling in a kitchen, wearing a black apron and a choker necklace.

    “I recently had the pleasure of joining Cris’ classes and I must say, it was an absolutely incredible experience. The personalised attention and guidance I received from Cris were unparalleled and truly helped me in my healing process. She is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about health and nutrition and she took the time to understand my specific goals and needs and this is what made a huge difference for me.”

    — Mihaela C.

  • A woman with wavy brown and blonde hair outdoors, smiling with a lush green tropical background.

    “I loved each of my sessions with Cris. She is gentle, supporting, and she has a very calm and grounding energy when she guides you through the practice. I felt very safe and supported, while also knowing that if I needed more fire, it’s right there waiting for me. If you are looking for someone who can not only help you look better, but also feel better in your body, then Cris is the best one.”

    — Andreea D.

This Is For The Mothers Who…

  • Recognize the power of being held, witnessed, and initiated into motherhood by other women who have been walking this path for some time.

  • Know that there is no badge of honour for pushing through and doing it all alone.

  • Are willing to ask for support and allow themselves to fully receive it — while remaining sovereign and fully anchored in their own truth.

  • Are not afraid to come undone and release old ways of being, doing and living.

  • Are aware of the fact that the current system is not designed to support mothers — and yet they are committed to thriving despite all of its shortcomings.

  • Are ready to meet and embody their most authentic self despite the discomfort of the unknown and the learning process.

  • Know that they deserve to step into motherhood feeling deeply resourced, confident, and supported — and are not afraid to claim it for themselves.

This Mentorship Is Not For You If…

  • You prefer to do it all alone or bounce back quickly.

  • You’d rather numb or medicate your way out of any discomfort than allow it to change who you are and what you believe.

  • You’re interested in collecting hacks and shortcuts that can help you move faster through discomfort.

  • You find no value in the wisdom of the women who came before and believe that science alone and the medical system hold every answer you need.

  • You are stuck in a victim mentality and prefer to blame the system rather than carve your own path.

  • You just want to keep it cool and curated and win the prize for the perfect mother of the year.

What You Will Receive Inside The Sanctuary

Cris is a skilled practitioner and mentor who brings all facets of her work into every session — from nervous system support to rebuilding your core and pelvic floor — always bridging the wisdom of the body with the spirit.

Inside this mentorship you will receive:

2 × 60-minute 1:1 sessions per month — held live via Zoom, devoted entirely to you and your unfolding.

Private Telegram access, Monday to Friday— voice note and text support with Cris between sessions, so you are never left alone in the hard moments.

Weekly personalised practice and nutrition plan — each week you will receive a meal plan and a practice crafted specifically for where you are in your journey. Physical restoration, embodiment practices, somatic invitations, audio journeys — thoughtfully woven together to meet your body's current landscape and support your integration between sessions.

Access to The Well-Resourced Mother Library — your own private online portal that you can return to again and again. A living, breathing collection of recorded practices, guided audio journeys, and resources that will continue to nourish you long after your Sanctuary journey is complete.

*In-person sessions are available and may include a variety of offerings such as live mentorship, closing ceremony, bodywork, yoga, and Pilates — among others.

APPLY NOW

  • Absolutely. The Sanctuary is for every Mother, wherever she is in her journey. Whether you are in the tender rawness of the first weeks or months have passed and you are still seeking the support you never received — it is never too late to be held through your initiation into motherhood.

  • Trust what your body already knows. One month is a powerful and complete container in itself. Two and three months allow for a slower, more spacious unfolding — more time to integrate and go deeper. If you are unsure, we can feel into it together on our connection call.

  • The Sanctuary was built with the reality of motherhood in mind. Sessions are scheduled around your rhythm, not the other way around. If life asks something different of you — we move with it. There is no rigid structure to keep up with here. Only presence, and the commitment to keep showing up for yourself.

Q&A

  • There is no typical session — and that is intentional. Each call is guided entirely by what you are carrying that day and where you are in your journey. Some sessions will be somatic and embodied. Others will sit with the emotional and identity shifts of new motherhood. Cris brings exactly what is needed, when it is needed.

  • The Sanctuary offers deep emotional and nervous system support and is a powerful complement to any mental health journey — but it is not a replacement for clinical care. If you are experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, we encourage you to seek clinical support alongside this work. If you are unsure, please reach out and we can have an honest conversation about what would serve you best.

  • The Sanctuary is my most intimate offering — shaped entirely around you. Chrysalis is a self-paced experience for the mother who prefers to move through the work in her own time. Passage is a group journey for those called to travel alongside other mothers. The Sanctuary is for the mother who is ready for the most held and personalised support available.

It’s never too late to be initiated. It’s never too late to enter your sanctuary.
