Matrescence: The Birth of a Mother
As a new mother, it was challenging to put words to all of the changes I was going though. Years later, I learned about the concept of Matrescence, or the physical, emotional, hormonal, spiritual and social transition to becoming a mother…
This gave me a framework for understanding the sheer magnitude of the changes I was facing, maybe there wasn’t something wrong with me, maybe it was just incredibly challenging on multiple levels. This is a framework through which I support women, whether they are wanting to conceive or a seasoned mom, because as we know, you’re never “done” being a mother.
