Matrescence Package

The biggest transition

The physical, emotional, hormonal and social transition of becoming a mother is known as 'matrescence'. This is often the most significant transition of a women's life.

During this time, like adolescence, you experience a whole body transformation and can experience a loss of identity as you figure out who you are becoming.

Hormonal shifts, changes to your body and the challenges of new motherhood can affect your mental wellbeing. Having personalised, specialist fertility, pregnancy, birth and fourth trimester support can help you adapt to life with a new born.

Having the support of a therapist has been shown to reduce pregnancy anxiety and lower the risk of traumatic birth experiences and postnatal depression.

"Naomi is always so helpful in getting to the root of the matter. After working with her for over a year and going through her Embrace fertility and pregnancy programs I have a good understanding of EFT and various methods that she has taught to help shift beliefs and work through various issues that come up on my own.
 
However-working 1:1 with her is completely different as she is able to listen and guide the session to be extremely effective in shifting beliefs, calming your mindset and providing next steps as needed.
 
Since Naomi has been through similar experiences through fertility it is always helpful to have her feedback on certain circumstances as she understands what you may be going through after fertility struggles in a way that those who have not may not completely understand."

Rachel

 
I have supported Rachel through infertility, IVF, pregnancy, birth and now support her as she finds her feet in motherhood.
 
"I am always in awe of how you can so quickly and gracefully integrate incredibly helpful tools and exercises into our sessions, based on what is sometimes just a chaotic rambling/venting on my part!!!
 
You are able to help me find clarity, and guide me through breaking it all down to the fundamental “issues” and then work through those one by one on a deeper level. You are truly brilliant at this!! 
 
I'm so grateful to have found you! You are helping me to heal from one of the great traumas of my childhood. I know that this healing will have a positive effect on my life, my relationships, my own self-image and self-confidence. I will be a better mother for it too :).
 

Wrap Around Care

This is the level of care and support I wish that all women have while transitioning into motherhood. 

Being pregnant and having a baby forces us to reevaluate our values and beliefs and the desires we have for our lives.

Pregnancy is the time when past hurts, traumas and strain in relationships can come to the surface.

Imagine having a therapist to support you through all of this and more, allowing you to feel calm and confident during your pregnancy and while preparing for labour and birth. 

 

The number of women experiencing high anxiety during pregnancy, traumatic birth and postnatal depression and depletion is on the rise.

Antenatal anxiety has consistently been found to be a strong predictor of postnatal anxiety and depression.

1 in 10 women experience postnatal depression within a year of giving birth.

45% of new mothers report experiencing birth trauma.

Utilising proven mind-body techniques to manage stress, process and clear trauma and soothe the mind and body has a clear benefit for both mother and baby.

Poppy - Early Pregnancy Support

"Before our (pregnancy support) session I was so anxious. I could envisage hearing bad news at the six week scan and was struggling to see how this could be positive. After the session I felt uplifted. I felt that my concerns had been validated but shifted into a more positive mindset.

I am so pleased I reached out to Naomi for 1:1 sessions. She was so flexible and could offer me a session really quickly.

Naomi makes me feel at ease and she is so down to earth. I love her approach to therapy, and her sense of humour too! She listened to my concerns and pulled out many strategies from her toolkit to help me, personalising each one to me and my specific anxieties. I would highly recommend Naomi to anyone trying to conceive."

Jamie - New Mum Support

"With all of the additional responsibilities of being a Mom it is even more difficult to find the time to process stress and anxiety, in my case around breast-pumping and a question of supply issues.

Working with Naomi were able to quickly get to the root of those feelings, process the emotions through tapping and create a plan to manage the stress around pumping moving forward.

In addition to the emotional support Naomi provided a great amount of resources and tips for the practical part of pumping and reinforced the need for Mom to get some me time. I always know that Naomi will do everything she can to support me through the bumps in the road."

As a trauma trained therapist with over a decades experience I offer personalised care packages to support you throughout this key time of your life.
 
The level of support I offer is unlike anything I've have seen offered in the matrescence field but I hope it will become the Gold standard so that women receive the care they need and deserve as they bring their babies into the world.

Helen - Birth Trauma

"I am already trained many healing modalities and have worked on my previous birth trauma myself, however, being pregnant again, I knew I needed to dive deeper as there was still significant fear and apprehension there under the surface.

I met Naomi at a wellbeing festival and knew I needed to do more work. Although it took me a long time to get round of it due to obvious resistance, the first session was definitely worth it.

Knowing Naomi works specifically with birth trauma, I felt safe and heard during the session. She guided me gently and there were huge releases, tears and realisations.

She also went above and beyond sending me resources to help my 8 year old who is suffering from sleep regression and I love the extra support on Telegram.

It was hard, but I'm glad I allowed myself to go there and committed to the session. I am looking forward to the next one already feeling way more calm and confident. Thank you Naomi."

Jamie - Induction Support

"Before our session I felt negative, defeated and as if I was failing when the possibility of induction was suggested. I felt completed closed off to the idea of anything else for my birth other than spontaneous labor.

Now I feel relaxed and open, actually excited for how we can make the induction positive if it is something we decide on. 

Looking back i have a better understanding of why I was feeling the way I was towards the interventions. It was so difficult for me to evaluate the possible decisions coming our way when underlying feelings of failure similar to the fertility journey were occupying my mind."

Tamara - Cesarean Birth

"I booked a birth preparation session alongside doing the Embrace Bump to Baby course to prepare me for birth of our baby. Due to medical reasons I am unable to have a vaginal birth and I felt angry and sad that this choice has been taken away from me.

Naomi was great in validating my feelings and supporting me in ways that I can process these feelings.

We explored my birth plan and what I can do throughout this pregnancy to prepare myself for the birth of our little baby.

Before my session I felt I couldn’t get my thoughts away from how I can’t have a vaginal birth. This has now eased, yes there are still moments where I feel sad and angry but it’s not as strong and I feel excited to meet our baby.

I feel in a much better headspace and confident going forward."
