Matrescence
unveiled
introducing...
Week one
This week, we uncover the mystery of Matrescence, discover the unexpected aspects of motherhood, and understand the cultural pressures, emotional challenges, and hidden grief that you may not even recognize. Exciting moments await as you reveal the truth about your journey, gain language to understand your experiences, and establish the groundwork to rewrite your own motherhood story.
Weekly breakdown:
Week two
Mama, embrace the messy parts of motherhood! This week, we celebrate "lostness" as a rite of passage in your journey of becoming a mother. Go beyond manis + pedis and redefine self-care with practices that nourish your mind, body, ad soul. Awaken both your strong motherly instincts and your inner radiance. Explore rituals, set boundaries, and create a sanctuary for rest and joy. Rediscover the vibrant woman you are. Embracing transformation is where the most beautiful growth begins.
Week three
Witness your transformation. Explore the chaotic journey of change, from "before mother" to becoming mother. We'll explore the inner conflict, guilt, shame, and changing sense of self. Take back control of your story from harmful stereotypes like "the perfect mother" and "strong black woman". Tap into internal wisdom and define your power. This week, fully embrace the transformation, not just accept it, and begin to rewrite your motherhood story with strength and determination.
Week four
It's okay to grieve who you were before you became a mother. This week, we welcome change. Learn to let go gracefully, quiet your thoughts, and deal with mental load of everyday mothering. Redefine your path. Combine your interests, reclaim your many sides, and find harmony in who you were "pre-mama" and who you're becoming. Mourn what you let go, enjoy rediscovery, and welcome anew.
Week Five
This week, we will replace emotional storms with calm clarity. Use proven tools to work through your emotions and handle challenges gracefully. We'll learn to face default parenting, and the "inner mean mama bear". We'll set boundaries that make you feel strong and watch your relationships improve. We will also address postnatal depletion, leaving you feeling energized and ready to pursue your passions. By the end of the week, you will be a strong symbol of resilience and growth, inspiring your loved ones and yourself.
Week six
This week, we'll review your journey in the last 6 weeks! Be proud of yourself, with all the tears, passion, and lessons learned. Create a legacy that shines, guiding your children, other mothers, and sparking change. You're not just surviving, you're a force. Stand tall, with deep roots and branches reaching for a brighter future. You're the one who makes change happen, who heals, who brings light. Rise, be strong! Change motherhood, one fearless woman at a time. Together, we create a strong and loving legacy that impacts the world.
You'll get the video lessons every Sunday for you to consume throughout the week. Pop your headphones on, and listen while you're on-the-go or cooking.

Reflection + Action
How it works
"Matrescence isn't a breakdown, it's a breakthrough"
Imagine a supportive community, a treasure chest of actionable strategies, and a gentle nudge towards your confident mama-self. Leave the overwhelm behind, and step into your empowered reality. "Matrescence Unveiled" is your launchpad to rewrite your motherhood story, one small step at a time.
You are doing a great job, Mama. Seriously, you gave birth to a miracle. And sometimes, in the midst of all the amazing things, you want clarity and support, right?
you're in the right place.
hello there.
I’m vanessa,
YOUR relatable mom-therapist
Let's cut to the chase: I know you love your baby, but you're not sure what happened to you.
It's like stepping into a whole new universe, right? You're not alone in feeling uncertain, questioning whether you truly understand what it means to be a mom, or even recognizing yourself in this new role.
That's where I come in. See, what you're experiencing is called Matrescence – it's like adolescence, but for moms. And just like puberty, it's a transformative journey that often gets brushed under the rug in our society. We're great at talking about prenatal care, postpartum recovery and taking care of the baby, but when it comes to helping moms navigate the transition to becoming a mom? Well, let's just say we're still catching up.
But the good news is, as a holistic therapist specializing in Matrescence and Pospartum, providing online therapy for driven moms of color, I've got your back. It doesn't have to stay this way. There's a path to feeling like yourself again, thriving in motherhood, and finding that spark of joy you deserve.
HYPE GIRL, wellness enthusiast, boy mom, CREATIVE, intentional
two years ago i gave birth, and it completely changed everything
I have been a therapist for 12 years, and have served hundreds of women during that time. When it came to my work with mothers, I always felt like I was missing the mark.
Then I became a mother myself, got trained as a Matrescence coach, and haven't looked at motherhood the same since.
i can help because i've been there
and nowI know how to help!
