Hello again, beautiful soul!
 
I believe that everyone has the innate strength and inner wisdom to be a great mother in their own right.  Often external noise influences what we think motherhood should look like. Through education, mindfulness practices, and Matrescence Coaching and support, I hope to help you quiet the noise, help you tune in with values of what you want your own journey to look like, and offer the guidance and strategies to help you be the best version of yourself.
 

My passion comes directly from my own Matrescence journey. Being an immigrant during my first pregnancy with COVID lockdowns, and having little support in New Zealand, I faced immense stress, both mentally and physically. My inner dialogue was shaped by my own cultural conditioning and upbringing, and this idea I had of what a "good" mother should look like.

​

When I was pregnant with my second child and had just moved to Northland, joining an in-person prenatal class provided that a vital community connection, helping me detach from previous trauma and embrace this second chapter with empowerment and a bit more clarity. With a bit more experience in the motherhood-department, I was more in tune with my own values. The identity shift was huge for me, especially after I decided to seek mental health support. This support, along with the Prenatal Yoga classes that I was attending really helped me get in touch with my own needs and values. And, the Yoga was not just about moving my body, it was about connecting with my own inner-knowing, feeling more capable, and connecting with other mothers in a safe space.

​

This is why my focus is on creating a safe space where you can truly feel truly seen, heard and understood before, during and after pregnancy.

I created Empowered Authenticity Ltd., because I am passionate about the transformative power of self-discovery and personal growth through education, movement, mindfulness, and mindset (Empowerment and Matrescence Coaching). I aim to inspire and support our fellow beautiful mama-souls on a journey toward empowerment, self-realisation, and fulfillment.
