What is Matrescence Coaching?

Claire studied with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz through her ground-breaking program Mama Rising - the only ICF-Recognised coaching program focusing on the insight of matrescence:

“Through global education and advocacy, we are on a mission to give mothers everywhere the Village of support she should have - no matter her age, gender, sexuality or race - and revolutionise the way mothers and carers are seen, valued, and supported in our world.

One of life’s most sacred, divine and challenging transitions, the shift from woman to mother deserves to be acknowledged, honoured and understood – and Matrescence Activists play a crucial part in providing meaningful support for women as they navigate this change.

Our approach to supporting mothers is unique: we guide them through the beauty and confusion of this discovery process and help them get to know themselves again - as a woman and as a mother.

Our Mama Rising Facilitators are trained in the very latest insights into Matrescence and redefine what our culture and society says makes a good mother.”
