A SPACE FOR MOTHERS TO FEEL SUPPORTED
Helping you embrace your unique
Mindful Beginnings was founded through my own personal journey of motherhood, as well as my social work experience supporting new and expecting mothers as they transition into motherhood.
“Mindful” refers to being aware of the present moment, conscious of our thoughts and feelings and how these might influence our being and doing. “Mindful” also represents the importance of leading with intention and reflecting our own unique values. “Beginnings” refers to the start of a new journey, the beginning of parenthood and becoming a mother.
It represents the opportunity for a fresh start, a new chapter, and the possibility for growth and evolution. Mindful Beginnings offers 1:1 support as well as workshops and gatherings for mothers and expecting-mamas.
Hello, I’m Lisa!
A Registered Social Worker dedicated to supporting maternal wellness and spreading the word about Matrescence.
Supporting mothers to embrace their unique experience with self-compassion, kindness and grace.
I help women connect to themselves, and others Mamas, as they enter and move through one of the most profound transitions in 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”

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.”
