Maternal Health

Matrescence | the physical, emotional, hormonal, and social transition to becoming a mother

We would be honoured to walk alongside you as you enter into the realm of parenthood.

Entering motherhood and experiencing what has been called “matrescence” is a very large transition. A transition that can catch you by surprise and sweep you off your feet. A diverse and subjective experience that can drastically change your life and who you are, unexpectedly. Caring for this new tiny human as you try and pick yourself back up in the midst of healing and hormonal changes can make you feel … off. A feeling that is felt by so many and yet talked about very little.

At times you may feel the overwhelming happiness, the feeling that motherhood is described and expected to be like. Or perhaps you feel differently, you don’t feel that happiness, the joy, the connectedness to your new child, and wonder why. At times you may feel disconnection, loss of identity, exhaustion, loneliness, resentment, depression, anxiety, shame, and so much more. Perhaps this was not what you expected or hoped for.

What we hope to offer is a safe space to you, to explore and understand who you are as a person and a mother, alongside other mothers in the same postpartum stage. A space where you can creatively explore your identity, worth, and process the physical and emotional changes that have occurred. It is our hope that we can work together to reframe ideas on what motherhood looks like and move forward in the epic journey that becoming a mother is.

Through art and connection with others, you will experience restorative time for you, a time to nurture your identity and well-being.
