If you are currently working with mothers, or would like to, I want to invite you to my upcoming masterclass:

‘Matrescence: providing the right support at the right time’.

In this free masterclass, I'll be sharing:
  • How mothers experiences and growth has been made culturally 'invisible' 
  • The new paradigm of mother support; matrescence
  • The importance of integrating matrescence into your mother support work
  • Moving beyond a 'one size' fits all approach to mother support
  • How you can be a part of the cultural shift and provide mothers with the right support at the right time

We're on the edge of a cultural shift in the way we support and understand mothers in their journey to and through motherhood.


For too long, mothers have been ignored, unsupported and unacknowledged as they navigate the monumental developmental leap from woman to mother; matrescence.


Research is showing that this transition is just as intense, if not more intense than adolescence. Yet in our culture mothers are often navigating it alone and with little awareness of what is happening to them, leaving them feeling alone, confused and isolated. 


If only they understood matrescence, the ongoing process of change and transformation a woman experiences in her journey to and through motherhood. It’s the awareness that mothers need to understand their experience, and offer themselves compassion.

It’s time to do things differently.

It’s time to centre the mother.

Matrescence has the potential to revolutionise mother-care forever.

Are you ready to be a part of it?

  • Are you a change-maker, a helper, a healer -  who knows that mothers deserve better. 
  • Maybe you’ve experienced your own change and transformation through motherhood.
  • You've felt the immense power and potential of understanding matrescence.
  • You’ve seen the impact of not honouring and supporting this rite of passage.
  • You’re ready to be part of the revolution in the way we support mothers in their journey to and through motherhood. 

I’m Nikki McCahon

I’m a matrescence educator, women’s life cycle guide and host of the Dear Mama podcast.

If you’re new to the concept of matrescence, you’re not alone. It’s an emerging discipline that captures the physical, psychological, social and emotional changes women go through during the monumental transformation that motherhood evokes. 

My journey with matrescence and initiation into this work was painful, joyful, challenging and disorientating. Whilst it didn’t feel like it at the time, it was the making of me. Over the past five years I have supported over 70,000 womens motherhood journeys. I created the Dear Mama Project as a soft landing place for you to explore your own transformation.

The Dear Mama Project includes my top iTunes podcast, a series of considered online courses, group coaching, teacher training and an event program of intimate women’s circles and workshops.

I am so looking forward to sharing this Masterclass with you.
