My mission is to raise awareness of Matrescence the life-changing transformation we go through when we become Mums and to make going to Therapy when you're struggling as normal as going to the doctors when you're sick.
A FREE Private Facebook group supporting Mums to be kind to themselves during Matrescence the transition into Motherhood and feel supported and excited about finding the New You.
I created the Mum Space to help nomralise Matrescence. As women and mothers, we often hear about the loss of our pre-pregnancy figure; but what about the loss of our pre-mothering identity / personality / mind / life…? Nothing and no one can really prepare you for that.
This internal battle can be brutal, and the hardest part is that we feel like we cant share those thoughts with anyone. After all, what kind of mother feels sorrow after the birth of their baby? And so we put on a happy face and pretend that, even though were not sure if we will ever feel ourselves again, we SHOULD just feel pure joy for our new life… because that’s what new mothers are “supposed to feel.”
"Yes your Baby is brand new to the world,
but dont forget so are you"
Motherhood, though incredible, is also all-consuming. After having a baby, it’s normal to grieve your old life and pre-mom identity. While every woman’s experience all Mum's feel some sense of loss after having a baby.
I want this community to be a safe space to share what you lost and let go of some of that guilt and shame that hiding it brings.
We will be doing weekly practices to help you find you again and to start loving your new life as more than a Mother.
This is exciting you get to create a whole new person.... and if that's felt hard no wonder doing it in secret is.
