Mama, Author, Journalist +
Matrescence Activist
First published in 2019, 'Mama Rising' (Hay House) is now loved by thousands of mamas around the world, and has sparked a global movement of Mama Rising® Facilitators sharing its powerful message.
For more than a decade, I’ve been trying to answer the question, “what happens to a woman when she becomes a mother?”
I searched for answers everywhere, unable to find anything that adequately described what I’d been through and what more than 5000 women have shared with me...
Until I heard the word ‘matrescence’.
Matrescence
Matrescence is the radical identity shift a woman goes through as she becomes a mother.
As a Matrescence activist, I am here to revolutionise the way motherhood is seen, valued and supported…
And train others to do the same.
Because the world really needs
mamas to rise.
IT’S TIME TO REDISCOVER YOURSELF, MAMA.
I'm here to guide you through the beauty and confusion of this discovery process and help you get to know yourself again - as a woman, and as a mother.
WHAT IS MATRESCENCE?
Matrescence is the transition into motherhood, and the missing link in our understanding of the unique feelings belonging to new mothers.

In this community, you’ll find the understanding and support you need as a mama, as well as the language to speak about matrescence with the important people in your life.
Hi, I'm Amy!
I believe there is such strength in the softness and vulnerability of mothering...and we’ve dismissed it as weakness.
It’s time to change that - and when we do, we’ll change the world.
I am here to do that.
Through my books, my podcast, my programs for mamas, and my training for women working with mamas, I am committed to transforming how we speak about, honour and value this key transformation.
Understanding what matrescence is and how to navigate it is like being
handed a map.
Once you've got the map, the journey gets easier... and really, really exciting. Because it’s the making of you.
