Coming from a background in Social Work, with over a decades experience of working with and supporting children and families before starting my own family, I was confident that I had all the skills and knowledge to be the most amazing Mama. But having two babies in two years in a new city showed me that Matrescence hits us all and breaks us open and we need a Village to support us through the journey of mamahood.

Returning to work after four years off, I retrained as an Adolescent Psychotherapist. As I was also on my own journey of Matrescence, I saw how aligned these were, and I jumped at the opportunity to train as a Mama Rising Matrescence Coach and Facilitator with the amazing Amy Taylor Kabbaz and am honoured and excited to now be able to support other mama’s on their journey’s of Matrescence and provide a community of support as we all find our way together.

I have now left social work, and work as both an Adolescent Psychotherapist and a Mama Rising Matrescence Coach and Facilitator. I work with mama's 1-2-1 or within group program's using the Mama Rising formula of support to take mama's from burnout to balance.
