Matrescence
The profound transformation - physical, psychological, social, cultural, economic, political, moral, existential and spiritual - that a mother experiences as she transitions into and journeys through motherhood.
-Adapted from Athan AM (2024) A critical need for the concept of matrescence in perinatal psychiatry. Front. Psychiatry
For Practitioners
Integrating matrescence into modern maternal care.
Because becoming a mother is not simply a medical event.
It is a transformation — and it has a name: matrescence.
And transformations deserve:
recognition
preparation
long-term support
And yet, most practitioners receive little to no training in it.
The future of maternal care is developmental.
And we are building it.
For Mothers
Be supported in your matrescence
We help mothers navigate the profound transformation of becoming a mother — with compassion, guidance, and practical tools — so you feel seen, understood, and supported at every stage.
