My name is Naomi Glass and my calling is to support you in all manner of ways in your journeys of conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, parenthood, matrescence and beyond, so that you can feel resourced to Embrace the Waves that life brings (see: www.embracingthewaves.com)…

My vision and dream is that all parents, the world over, feel informed, supported and empowered, so that we can birth and raise a new generation of humans who can walk their paths in peace, balance, good health and collaboration with themselves and all other beings.

I am a certified Matrescence Coach and Facilitator, having trained in 2024 with the amazing team at mamarising.net. I can support you both one to one and in groups, in-person and on-line.

I am also a conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum doula, a Birth Story Specialist (trained by the Birth Story Medicine® school - see: www.birthstorymedicine.com), and along with an incredible team of skilled facilitators, I offer regular Matrescence support circles, Holistic Birth Preparation and Holistic Parenting courses in west Wales, UK. I have been working with people in conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, baby loss and parenthood since the birth of my second child in 2017.

I am also a mother to two daughters, a partner, a friend, a poet, a singer, a small holder, a goatherd, a playwork practitioner and a messy mortal, striving to support myself and others to feel more connected, interconnected and whole, with the truly wise help of the earth.

As your certified Mama Rising® Coach and Facilitator, I support mothers and birthing people, parents and primary carers as you traverse this complex and transformational season of your life, step by step.
My role is to walk beside you either as you prepare for parenthood and/ or as you grow in your role as a mother/ father/ parent/ carer.

Parents need more support! For as your child grows, often unforeseen and deeply challenging parts of you can rise to the surface to be looked at, urging you on, asking to be transmuted, reframed, resolved, brought to the light....

I feel like Western society on the whole is failing those doing the most important job of all; raising the next generation. For there are far are too many parents these days feeling like they are failing, isolated, utterly under-resourced and increasingly desperate. You do not need to be alone on this journey. Let's rewrite the story of how to be a modern-day parent together and help to build that more beautiful world for the children of the future, one parent at a time....

I am here to be your space holder, celebrating you in your joys and wins, supporting you in your pain, confusion, feelings of isolation, shifts in identity, unexpected challenges, decisions.

My role is to encouragingly wave you on from the shore as you learn to ride your own unique parenthood waves with increasing resilience and self-compassion, thus creating space for your beautiful self-unfoldment process as a mother, parent, carer and human to take place!

In our work together, we explore how you can use the challenges arising in your parenthood journey so far to catalyse positive change in yours and your family's lives.

As your Matrescence/ Parenthood coach, I am your thinking and processing partner, your perspective bringer, your re-framing support, your non-judgemental voice and your safe space, in order to help you shift your story into one of increasing empowerment, agency and choice, so that you can more consciously, and with sharper awareness, choose love and self-compassion over guilt and shame, and thriving over surviving, each time.

I have my own lifetime's proverbial rucksack of teachers, mentors, inspiration, experiences, tools, resources, qualifications and trainings, as well as my own motherhood journey so far to two vibrant, challenging, beautiful daughters to draw on as your coach and facilitator. I work both one to one and in groups.
