A SPACE FOR MOTHERS TO FEEL SUPPORTED
Helping you embrace your unique
Maternal Wellness NZ was founded through my own personal transition into motherhood.
It wasn’t as easy as I naively believed it would be…
As a woman and from a very young age, I was told being a mother would come naturally, however what I have learnt, through my own experience and through supporting women, is that motherhood (Matrescence) is a process of learning, transitioning and becoming….
Hello, I’m Lisa!
A Registered Social Worker dedicated to supporting maternal wellness and spreading the word of Matrescence.
Utilising counselling, coaching and mindfulness techniques, I support women to make sense of their own Matrescence and embrace their unique experience with self-compassion, kindness and grace.
This is especially important for women who feel like they have lost a piece of themself through motherhood (a common feeling for many women).
During pregnancy or postpartum, I am here to support women through one of the most profound transitions in their life….
Motherhood.
“I’m so grateful I met Lisa while pregnant, her gentle support and reassurance during the 4th trimester was exactly what I needed, especially when I was feeling most anxious. We worked together again a few months later as I was feeling lost and she helped me re-identify my values and make sense of my Matrescence. I know the tools I have learnt will be so valuable if we decide to have another baby”

HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
ONE-TO-ONE SUPPORT
A safe and supportive space for you to explore your vulnerabilities without judgement – utilising counselling, coaching + mindfulness techniques.
A space where you will feel seen, heard and valued.
WORKSHOPS + GATHERINGS
A beautiful space for mothers and expecting mothers to connect, share, learn and grow together.
We were never meant to do this alone.
SOUND EXPEREINCES
A relaxing space for you to experience a moment of peace amongst the general chaos of life.
Come as you are and leave feeling lighter.
MATRESCENCE
As Dr Aurelie Athan first described, Matrescence is like Adolescence:
It is the time in a woman’s life when everything changes her whole identity shifts.
When a woman becomes a mother, she splits in two:
Who she used to be, and the Mother she is.
And unless we honour that radical shift, she will get lost trying to figure out who she is now.
WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“Lisa is the most beautiful soul and it was such a privilege to work with her and experience some of her magic.
During each session, she gave me her undivided attention, beautiful wisdom and I felt fully held, heard and supported.
After each session, I felt lighter and supported and clear on what steps I needed to take to support me and my relationships.
Thank you Lisa, I think our journey together is just beginning.”
