“Matrescence is the process of adapting to the series of changes associated with becoming and being a mother.” - Matrescence NZ

When I first became a mum, I felt as though the world around me had shifted yet no one could explain why or give language to what I was experiencing. I knew I had changed, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on how or why.

When I was introduced to the concept of matrescence, everything began to make sense. What I was experiencing had a name, and that understanding brought a deep sense of validation.

Through matrescence coaching and learning, I was able to explore the impact motherhood was having on my career, my relationships, and how I wanted to spend my time. It helped me make more intentional decisions about how I showed up at work and at home.

This understanding shifted my outlook on motherhood and supported me to navigate change with greater clarity and confidence.

I believe every mother deserves this level of understanding and support particularly when moving through one of the most significant matrescence transitions: returning to work.
