I’m a mother of two boys and a former Early Years and Primary school teacher with a Master’s in Innovative Early Childhood Education. My teaching journey took me to international schools across Asia, where I developed a deep passion for learning, neuroscience and supporting parents. However, motherhood, particularly after moving to Ireland and leaving behind my job and community, brought unexpected challenges. In search of support, I enrolled in a Conscious Parenting course, which not only transformed my approach to raising my children but moreso, sparked a profound reparenting journey within myself. This experience led me to become a Certified Parent Coach. What I learned through listening to mothers is how much mothers silently carry, often without community or support to guide them through the journey of motherhood. I found myself frustrated that the wider societal context wasn’t a part of Conscious Parenting.
This frustration led me to discover matrescence, the profound metamorphosis of becoming a mother. The word changed how I felt about my early days of mothering and allowed for so much self compassion and understanding. I then took the only ICF recognised Matresence Coaching Course. Now, as both a Parent and Matrescence Coach, I help mothers navigate the complexities of parenting while also processing the personal shifts that come with becoming a mother. As a Parent Coach I hold space for you to focus on yourself, your children and your parenting. I’ll provide you with practical knowledge, skills and understanding for parenting. Matrescence Coaching provides support and guidance to a woman as she navigates the often invisible and deeply transformative journey of becoming a mother, helping her explore her evolving identity, manage emotional challenges, and find balance in her new roles while honoring her personal values and well-being. It brings visibility and validation to the emotional and psychological shifts that are often overlooked in the process of motherhood.
