Frequently asked questions

1) What is matrescence and how does it shape leadership?

Matrescence is the identity transition that happens as you become (and keep becoming) a mother; it influences your values, confidence, and leadership style at work and at home. My coaching is matrescence-informed and Mama Rising®–trained, so we translate this transition into practical leadership strengths. Start with the free Just Matrescence® Leadership Assessment to see your current season.

2) Who do you coach?

I support ambitious mothers in leadership and business (from early motherhood to mid-matrescence), supportive dads, and dual-career couples who want to lead and parent as a team. Sessions are available in person (London area) and online.

3) How is your approach different from other leadership coaches?

You will be partnering with a PCC-credentialed leadership coach, certified Mama Rising® facilitator, and a method that treats parenthood as a leadership superpower, not a setback. Together, we will work on clarity, boundaries, confidence and identity, grounded in evidence-based matrescence principles.

4) I’m in mid-matrescence (tweens/teens) and feel “not myself.” Can coaching help?

Yes. Mid-matrescence often brings competing devotions, shifting identity and overwhelm. We’ll name what’s changing, reduce mental load, and convert that transition into values-led leadership, at work and at home.
