Tell me Mumma, have you ever felt completely overwhelmed and lost at times throughout motherhood? Have you ever felt unsupported and burnt out? What if I told you there is a reason for this? That you are going through a transformational process that no-one ever talks about. What if I told you it was just a little (read: big) thing called matrescence?

Matrescence, similar to the more well-known developmental period of adolescence, is a transition in life that all mothers experience, which affects all aspects of our lives – our physical body, hormones, emotions, relationships, cultural expectations, our work…the list goes on.

Most of the time as mothers we are focused on the needs of our child, and our own needs are usually at the bottom of a long list. However, what your child actually needs is a happy and thriving mother, who understands the transition she is going through, and has the support and skills in her toolbox to manage these changes. Strength In Mothers can support you with this.

Hi there Mumma! I’m Carla.

I’m a Social Worker, Life Coach and the founder of Strength In Mothers. I provide coaching and emotional support to all mothers during the important life transition of matrescence.

With over 16 years experience in the Social Work profession, I have supported people of all ages and demographics, using a strengths-based and solution-focused approach. More recently, I became a certified Life Coach after graduating from the International Coaching Federation accredited Mama Rising program. Combining both my Social Work skills and coaching techniques, I now work with overwhelmed Mums to reclaim balance and calm in their busy lives.
