But let me be honest: In the beginning, I didn’t find the rollercoaster of motherhood exciting or beautiful at all.
I felt overwhelmed and longed for things to go back to “normal” so that I could feel like myself again.
When I turned to art, I hoped to reconnect with the woman who once loved creativity before she had children.
And you know what? It worked.
But not in the way I expected.
Instead of finding my old self, I discovered the power to create my new self.
By expressing the full, messy truth of my disorientation and inner conflict, I was able to rebuild myself as a mother.
At the time, I didn’t know that this transformation had a name: Matrescence.
What I had experienced was the universal journey of women transitioning from womanhood to motherhood.
I became fascinated by this process of transformation and the fact that, in our culture, there is so little awareness—and therefore so little support—for it.
Because when we understand the radical changes and constant adjustments that come with motherhood, the rollercoaster becomes interesting and even beautiful—with all its ups and downs.
After reading countless books, taking courses, and having deep conversations, I finally made the decision to become a certified Matrescence Guide—to offer other mothers a safe space for this transformation.
A space where they feel seen, heard, and understood.
A space where losing the old self is part of the journey—not a failure.
A space where there is room for all emotions, doubts, and fears—but also for the overwhelming love and everyday joys of motherhood.
I look forward to meeting you there.

I dream of...More children's laughter...

Lots of time and less boredom .
More connection with my kids and more space for me...
... or the ability to just take everything as it is .
