Hi (expectant) mom,
After years of working in the corporate world, where I gained experience in giving group trainings and workshops, I decided to shift my focus completely to guiding women during their journey through motherhood. I am a certified Seasons of Matrescence™ guide and currently in training as an Integrative coach, counselor and therapist. This combination of professional and personal experience allows me to support women in a profound and expert way in every phase of their Matrescence.
Mission of The Motherhood Movement
My mission is to raise awareness and awareness around Matrescence so that mothers feel supported and acknowledged in their unique transformation. I believe that every mother deserves a safe space to grow, learn and thrive in her role.
I am Lianne, your Matrescence coach and counselor
My Journey into Matrescence
In 2019, I became a mother for the first time. Overjoyed with my little one, I found myself asking:
-
Where was that natural maternal instinct everyone talks about?
-
Did everyone really go through those sleepless nights?
-
Am I a good mother if I stop breastfeeding?
-
Why has no one told me what this feels like and what it truly entails?
A hundred thoughts can be summed up in one word: Matrescence—the transformation you undergo when you become a mother, and one that never truly ends. Matrescence is universal yet unique; every mother experiences it, but each in her own way.
With the arrival of my second daughter, it became clear that every pregnancy is different. My hormones reacted differently, and I carried trauma, leading my Matrescence to manifest as postnatal depression. I struggled to find the right help.
Now, I offer support for every unique Matrescence journey—from mothers on a pink cloud seeking balance with their careers to those navigating gray clouds and everything in between. Explore the solutions I offer, or contact me for a brief introduction.
