This course helped me feel more excited about birth and parenting, it touched on the potential hurdles, while keeping positive and grounded in how to manage and cope with them. We enjoyed the focus on improving mental wellbeing and the opportunity to discuss ideas raised by Christina as a couple was invaluable. There was a lot of helpful information delivered over the two days, content was able to be easily revisited due to the amazing power point slides provided. Thanks for an incredible two days.

Highly recommend attending one of your courses. The 'Preparing for parenthood antenatal workshop' was really valuable, great information and was presented in an easy to understand, relatable and non-judgemental way. Thank you for the support you are providing couples as they become parents, it makes such a difference and was great to have the focus be on us, and providing us ways to support each other through the journey.

Would highly recommend attending one of Matrescence NZ's workshops! I attended a 6 week online course after the arrival of my baby and it was so helpful in managing that difficult transition in my fourth trimester. I loved connecting with other mums experiencing similar feelings, and our facilitator Christina was fantastic - so helpful to have someone who has a psychology background AND is a mum, she had so much helpful information and advice. The course definitely helped my adjustment to motherhood (matrescence). Thanks so much Christina!

I had the pleasure of attending the 5 week course for first Mums. I am a second time Mum but this was still so beneficial for us. I would highly recommend to everyone including Dad's. Sam and Christina are so knowledgeable and relatable. They also have other professionals that take some of the course e.g sleep consultant for sleep and settling session which is such a good idea!

Absolutely fantastic course. Perfect balance between baby/birth prep and what to expect. I now understand what matrescence is and how to cherish and work with this!

Cannot recommend the matrescence workshop enough! Such highly valuable information shared that not only puts the experience of transitioning into motherhood into perspective, but also equips you with knowledge and tools that will empower you in your journey. Every mamma, whether you are a long way into your journey, still expecting or adopting a child, will benefit from this workshop.

Highly recommend! Anybody expecting a child (whether their first, second, or fifth) should do this course. It's very informative, delivered in a way that is relatable and easy to understand, and the instructor (Christina for the course I attended) was fantastic. It covers parts of parenthood that are so important yet not widely taught, which makes this course so valuable. Thanks again!

Amazing organization helping new parents on their journeys. We attended a Matrescence workshop a couple of months before our first baby was born and found it so beneficial. The topics covered were super helpful in helping us to know what to expect going into parenthood. We found they really covered all aspects well and gave us reassurance going into it, preparing us as best as possible. Christina and Sam shared from their heart, being Mums themselves and with a lot of professional knowledge too. We learnt a lot and are very grateful for their support on our special journey!

We attended the two day Antenatal Course in May. The days covered a range of aspects of preparing for the arrival of our baby and it started some important conversations between us about how we were going to communicate and care for each other too once baby arrives! The resources that were provided also gave us a structure to hang our thoughts on and we both feel much more prepared now. Thank you!

Fantastic course - highly recommend to all mums-to-be! Learned so much more about how to manage my own emotions/look after myself during the transition to motherhood that other antenatal classes don't focus on. Feeling much more confident about what will happen and the plans we have in place for our Whanau.
