Ever wondered what motherhood could be like without the constant exhaustion, regret, resentment, guilt and worry?
Join Mama Mentoring and turn the emotional weight of motherhood into a catalyst for deep, lasting change
Beautiful Mama, what a gift you are to your children.
You are always one step ahead, juggling schedules, planning meals, noticing moods, anticipating meltdowns before they happen.
You carry so much, and you do it with care, intention and love.
But there’s another side to this story.
- You wake after another night of broken sleep, your body tired before the day even begins.
- You spend your morning feeding, dressing, tending, chasing everyone else…only to grab some crusts before you run out the door.
- You’re already running on empty when you notice little (or not-so little) piques in cortisol in response to another cry, another whinge.
In those moments, your heart races, you start to sweat, and you notice the urge to just move faster.
Outwardly, it turns into yelling, threats and other unpleasantries you wish you didn't do (but in fact do most days).
The days blur, the washing piles and your to-do list grows.
And when evening comes around, you turn to your phone and numb yourself in the scroll just to escape some of the exhaustion, regret, resentment, loneliness, guilt and worry, before calling it a night.
You’re on an unfun merry go round of the same shit, different day.
And somewhere in all of it… you get lost.
It’s not just that you’re tired.
It’s that everything has changed.
The boundaries you once had around
…your body
…your relationships
…your feelings
…your day and night
They’ve all blurred.
And now you're left sitting in this opening, this portal, unlike anything you have ever experienced, lost at sea.
No one ever told you that becoming a mother would feel like being thrown into the deep end of yourself. Even if this isn’t your first baby. Even if it looks like you’ve got it ‘together’.
If right now, there’s a voice in your head telling you…
- "Oh yeah, but no one else experiences it like me..."
- "I shouldn't be struggling with this..."
- "Everyone else seems to be coping..."
- "I should just get over it..."
- "Suck it up, it’s part of being a mum..."
Oh, inner critic,
you’re a fierce protector.
Thank you AND
I want to share with you
something that you might not know.
There is nothing wrong with you
You are not alone. So much of what you are experiencing is expected.
We’ve been set up to feel this way.
Since you were a little girl you’ve been handed messages through your
family of origin,
media,
tv,
culture,
educational institutions,
EVERYWHERE
…on what it means to be a girl, a woman, a mother in our society.
For decades
you’ve been given narrow scripts of what a ‘good mother’ looks like.
Selfless.
Self-sacrificing.
Fully satisfied.
The pressure for perfection begins long before we become mums and it continues to be fed to us day in, day out.
And if you don’t meet these standards, these scripts,
If you don’t meet perfection,
You are destined to feel like you are failing, alone, that there is something wrong with you.
But I'm here to tell you, there is nothing wrong with you.
And this version of motherhood you've been fed all these years, is their version, not yours.
What I know to be true is this:
Motherhood gives you access to a potent portal of change
When you first become pregnant the physiological changes trigger an opening.
An opening to a new way of experiencing our external world and our internal world.
This portal offers opportunities for transformation and growth unlike any other period in your life.
Which means this season of your life doesn’t have to be something you ‘get through’.
Instead, it can be the perfect opportunity to make change, heal old parts of yourself and shift your external life to feel more easeful and aligned.
In case you’re wondering how I know this to be true…
Hi, I’m Ali
I’m a Mum of two boys and I’ve been where you are.
The day to day merry go round of chaos and control, yelling and guilt trips were a typical part of my experience as a mother in the early years.
It wasn't until I stumbled upon a podcast that introduced me to a whole new concept— ‘Matrescence’ – and it all started to make sense.
Once I had this lens I was able to explore and experiment in a way I had before - in another portal opening experience, my Mum’s death.
And as I did I realised I was able to change my inner and outer world.
I could be the Mum I wanted to be even in a society that was set up for me to feel like a failure. I was able to compassionately sit with my big feelings and the bigness of the motherhood experience.
I released the burden of mum guilt plaguing my days and stopped yelling as much.
I reconnected to my body, my needs and values and practised expressing them with calm confidence everyday.
I let go of the expectations (someone else's rules) and created my own reality.
Everyday I continue to choose, to practice and to unlearn so that my world and my children’s is based in connection, choice, confidence and compassion.
And you can too.
Introducing
Mama Mentoring
Your personalised mentoring container for turning the overwhelm of motherhood into a portal of deep lasting change.
Mama Mentoring isn’t about adding voices to the mix.
It’s a space to hear and trust your own.
During our three months together,
you’ll develop the skills and insights to:
- Feel like yourself again
- Replace guilt with self compassion
- Go about your days feeling deeply connected to yourself AND to your little one/s at the same time
- Relish this season of life instead of wishing the days away
- Feel equipped to move through whatever the future holds with calm confidence
- Be the present parent you always wanted, for yourself AND your kids.
Along the way, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your inner world,
learn to see your big emotions as signals, not flaws,
respond to yourself and your family with curiosity and compassion instead of resentment or judgment
and finally feel more choice and freedom in how you show up.
You’ll become not just the mum, but the person you want to be.
Mama Mentoring is where you’ll rewire how you talk to yourself so you can have an authentic relationship with your inner world based on curiosity and compassion.
You're the best Ali! I have gotten a lot from the work we've done!
Last night I was talking to [name hidden] about how I have noticed feelings about getting help when I'm sick, and the shadow of the thought "I should be able to do this without help". And noticing it took away the power it had, before it fully formed in my chest.
And the same thing is going on around comparing my "progress" and bounce-back this postpartum with last time. When I notice those thoughts I'm doing my best to meet them with compassion, and then be self-compassionate. This is trickier, it's a well-worn pathway. But its a big improvement on how I have always talked to myself!
Here’s what it takes to move through Matrescence with calm confidence:
There are 5 simple, powerful steps to it.
I’ll be guiding you through each one in a way that leaves you feeling supported, seen, connected, and truly heard.
Name the portal you’re in.
Understand Matrescence and the rite of passage you are moving through and how it relates to your experience.
See the water you're swimming in.
Recognise the expectations, conditions and inherited narratives and learn what is yours to hold and what you can let go.
Return to your own story
Explore your past, your values, your inner world. Meet all parts of you that are activated in motherhood (the perfectionist, the pleaser, the protector) and meet them with compassion instead of criticism.
Come back into your body
Regulate and respond instead of react. Use somatic practices to understand your body and restore safety and connection from the inside out.
Receive mother care
This isn't about giving you parenting tips or scripts, this is mother centred care. This is real support for you. Understanding and supporting you through your experience, your reactions, your emotions.
In this space you’ll be witnessed, held, understood and then guided to flourish, change, grow, expand and evolve.
By the end of our time together,
you’ll not only know how to hold space for your emotions, your memories, your vulnerabilities and past experiences with compassion and understanding,
you will be clear on the mother you are and how you want to show up everyday.
You’ll have reclaimed motherhood for your own.
And here’s how it breaks down
You’ll receive 3 months of 1:1 personalised mentoring support when we kick off on November 1st.
This includes:
- 1 x 90 minute initial support call
- This is where you get the space to share your story, your goals and we start to unravel what you need to move through matrescence with calm confidence.
- This call becomes your anchor point. You’ll finally get to speak your truth fully, without being rushed, judged, dismissed or compared. You’ll get clarity on where you are, where you want to be and what support you truly need to get there.
- 4 x 60 minute support call
- This is where we get stuck into the mentorship, focusing on practical tools and emotional support based on your unique goals.
- You’ll receive grounded guidance and nervous system support as life is unfolding, not just theory. Each session supports you to move from "I don't know where to start” to “I know exactly what I’m working on and how to shift it”
- Detailed email following each support call
- No more forgetting what we spoke about or feeling lost afterwards. You get to be IN the session as we do it knowing that when you leave you will have clarity, structure and personalised practices written down ready to actually use in real time.
- Ongoing virtual support through WhatsApp between calls.
- You won’t have to wait until the next session to get support. You’ll be held in the moments that matter. The wobbles, the wins, the in-between. You’re not doing this on your own anymore.
“Held, supported + safe to share"
I felt held and supported throughout the session and safe to share what I needed to bring to the session. I appreciated that you offered lots of tools, strategies and resources that I could use straight away.
KRISTY
“Took the pressure off + allowed me to engage fully”
Links and emails were very easy to use. The email summary was great, it took the pressure off having to note down the “brain stuff” during our sessions and allowed me to engage fully with our conversation about it. I also really liked the WhatsApp as a way to reflect and prepare between sessions.
CHARLOTTE
“Tailored to meet me where I am”
Ali tailored our mentorship to meet me where I am, and to go where I wanted and needed to go. I have been so surprised by what I have discovered during this mentorship. The inner work we did has not just changed how I experience motherhood, but given me the power in how to navigate this world as a person.
HAYLEY
In case you’re wondering if this is a bit self-indulgent to invest in...
As a Mum and Mother Care Practitioner, the best thing I do, on repeat, is invest in support for myself.
This might seem like a cliche’ thing to say on my own sales page but it’s the truth.
At every major life change in the last 10 years, I have reached out for support. Coaching, mentoring, practical, emotional or spiritual. I have chosen support, even when it felt indulgent to do so.
- In the year after my Mum died, I invested in life coaching.
- When I was my sister's birth partner, I had my own support.
- When I birthed my first son, we hired a doula.
- When I didn't want to return to my career after my first maternity leave, I turned to career coaching.
- Through my second pregnancy, birth and postpartum, I had support every step of the way.
- In my mothering of my two boys - and in myself - I continue to have support, guidance, mentors and coaches.
That is what’s made it possible to be the mother I am today. And to be the guide I am for you right now.
The shift I made to choose support was when I realised I matter…
That’s why when I invite you into support, I’m not asking you to do something I haven’t done myself.
I’m inviting you into the same kind of care that has held me through every season of becoming. The care that allowed me to walk through Matrescence with calm confidence.
For Mama Mentoring to work for you, you don't need to be certain, you just need to be open
If you’re hesitating because you’re not sure if Mama Mentoring is your kind of support, let me say this:
Mama Mentoring is different to one on one support you may have had before.
It is matricentric intuitive medicine.
I bring my experience and training as a qualified postpartum doula, certified motherhood studies practitioner, matrescence mentor and women’s circle facilitator.
So you receive a combination of a deep understanding of motherhood, from sociological, somatic, psychological and rite of passage perspectives with an intuitive, meditative and body led experience.
If you’re yearning to be understood in a way you have not experienced before, a desire to shift the ‘shoulds’, and a calling to come back to your body and explore your inner world, this is the space for you.
This is where you’ll let go of the expectations, feel your feelings, come home to yourself.
Normally after she goes down, I rush to tidy the house and have dinner before my partner comes home and not because that's the norm but rather the expectation I set myself mentally. But instead, I felt exhaustated and laid down on my bed for a moment. I wrapped myself in a blanket hug and started doing the somatic exercise of touching the body and labelling it that we have done before. Once I got to my chest, the tears took hold and I just sobbed. It felt so good to have it come out with no one around to see. I text my partner and said just letting you know I'm all in my feels so the house isn't cleaned when you come home, he wrote back none of that is important and to just be in the moment and feel what I need
too. It was a good change I feel internally.
The work you and I do together in Mama Mentoring is about healing through relationship
If you’re wondering what actually happens during our three months together, here’s the heart of it:
This work is relational.
Healing happens in relationship – with yourself, and with someone who has walked the path, and who can hold the space for you as you explore yours.
We move through what matters most to you in the moment.
I’ll listen to your story, ask questions to understand your unique world, and support you in connecting with your inner landscape.
Together, we notice the expectations and ‘shoulds’ that shape your days, we explore your emotions, and you tune into your body.
Lots of professionals who work with mothers are looking to pathologise them – to give you a label.
This is not what this space is for.
This is a space to trust yourself while learning to trust in the power of relational connection.
You’ll be guided through reflective and somatic practices, meditations, and conversations that help you meet your inner world with curiosity and compassion, while also experiencing the reassurance and clarity that comes from being seen and held by someone who truly gets it.

Frequently Asked Questions
F.A.Q
Mama Mentoring is a personalised 1:1 container. We meet for five support sessions over three months, and you also have ongoing WhatsApp support in between. Each session is guided by what matters most to you in that moment — your challenges, emotions, or reflections.
No preparation is needed. Just come as you are. The sessions are designed to meet you where you’re at, explore what matters to you, and guide you through practices, reflection, and support tailored to your needs.
Mama Mentoring blends evidence-based knowledge of motherhood — sociological, somatic, psychological, and rite-of-passage perspectives — with an intuitive, body-led approach. It’s relational work: healing through connection with someone who has done the work themselves and can hold space for you. It’s not advice or parenting tips — it’s mother-centred support.

Pssst…since you’ve made it all the way down here, I’m guessing this is true for you…
You want to make a change but you’re finding it hard to justify the time, the investment, the inconvenience on others.
I get it, stepping into your power and claiming what is yours is a brave thing, a scary thing.
AND you should know this:
You are the epicentre of your family.
Which means your health and wellbeing not only matters, but is essential for your family to flourish.
Mama Mentoring is your invitation to step back into your centre so you can show up as the mum you want to be.
And it would be my honour to support you to do exactly that.
