Empowering your journey through Motherhood.

Are you a mother who has ever felt overwhelmed, isolated, disconnected or

unsure whether what you’re experiencing is normal? YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Motherhood changes everything, yet very few women are ever taught how deeply those changes affect who they are and who they become. This is Matrescence.

 

My role, in your journey,  is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel empowered to navigate the changes, knowing that you are not alone.

How we can work together:

  • Mindful Movement & Yoga (including Aqua Natal and Prenatal classes)

  • One-on-One Specialised Movement & Mindset

  • Matrescence Coaching

  • Guest Speaking & Professional Education for antenatal/postnatal groups and local service providers.

Who is Alicia?

My name is Alicia. I am so grateful you are here.

I am a mother of two, Educator, Matrescence Practitioner, and a Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Instructor and Movement Specialist.  

Motherhood changes women. Through support, education, and nervous system regulation tools like Yoga, I help mothers understand those changes. Because, when women understand the identity, emotional, and nervous system changes that happen in motherhood, they feel less overwhelmed and more confident navigating the journey.

What is Matrescence

“Matrescence is the process of adapting to a series of changes associated with becoming and being a mother.” — Matrescence NZ

Get your FREE Postpartum Planning Guide here.

As a qualified Matrescence Practitioner, my goal is to provide a non-clinical safety net to help you navigate these life-altering shifts.
 

How We Work Together:
 

  • A Judgment-Free Safe Space:
    A safe space where you feel seen, heard, and understood with the love, empathy, and compassion you deserve.

     

  • Value-Aligned Strategies:
    Motherhood comes with unique challenges. Together, we uncover practical, evidence-based tools that actually work for your life and align with your personal values. This is about YOU, not the baby or the child, social media, your mother-in-law, or even me. It's about finding what works for you.

     

  • Tapping Into Your Inner-Knowing:
    I trust that you already hold the wisdom you need to thrive. I am simply here to help you reconnect with that inner voice through guided conversations and genuine support.

     

  • Lived Experience Meets Professional Practice:
    My approach bridges the gap between real, lived maternal transitions and rigorous, evidence-based research.

“I am so happy to report that I had such a positive and empowering labour and birth. I honestly credit yourself and the yoga/aqua classes in those last couple of months. The focus on self-care, relaxation, breath work, locating (and relaxing) my pelvic floor through it all made it so much easier!”

Alicia has such a great energy about her. She is relatable and real in terms of discussing matrescence & the changes we all face when becoming mothers. Such a non-judgmental, honest perspective each time.

Highly recommend.

Alicia is a one in a million human! She has helped me get through the hardest stages of my life, guiding me, reminding me, inspiring me and always ensuring I know my worth and that I am enough! I know she can help anyone that walks onto her path. She is compassionate, kind and caring and always shows endless love and support. Anyone would be so lucky to have her part of their journey!!
