Hi, I’m Ilana Shapiro Yahdav—grief specialist, matrescence coach, and mama to two little ones. I help moms make sense of the big, messy feelings that come with motherhood—especially the parts no one talks about.

Through my work at The Non-Linear Journey, I support women as they move through identity shifts, grief, and all the emotional ups and downs of becoming (and being) a mom. It’s not always pretty, but it is powerful—and you don’t have to do it alone.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, lost, or just need someone to say “yep, that makes total sense,” I’m here for that. You’re not broken. You’re becoming. And every feeling you have? It’s valid.
