​Matrescence describes the developmental transition into motherhood — a profound psychological, relational, and embodied transformation. Like adolescence, it is a period of growth that reshapes identity, attachment, purpose, and self-understanding.

​

During matrescence, women often experience a complex unfolding of vulnerability, strength, and integration as they move through pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting.

​

This section explores the emotional and developmental dimensions of this transition and the ways women gradually integrate the MotherSelf into their evolving sense of identity.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
