Hi, I’m Katrina,
your wing-mama.
Coach. Matrescence mentor. Mother.
And someone who’s lived the questions you’re asking now.
“Motherhood blindsided me. The first two years felt like a blur of overwhelm and self-doubt. I just didn’t recognise the woman in the mirror.”
I thought I was ready for motherhood.
I’d planned it all. Researched, prepared, colour-coded.
With a demanding career and a calm, capable approach, I figured I’d keep doing life the same way, just with a baby in my arms.
But the reality?
It cracked me open in ways I didn’t see coming.
I loved my daughter deeply, but I missed me.
The capable, ambitious woman I knew disappeared somewhere between the nap schedules and the spreadsheets.
Everyone said it was just a phase, but even a year in, I was still waiting to feel like myself again.
Surrounded by mothers who seemed to be coping, I wondered why I couldn’t just “embrace it.”
I assumed something was wrong with me.
Because surely, it wasn’t meant to feel this way?
The great unravelling
Like so many of us, I kept pretending everything was fine - until my body and mind said otherwise.
By the time my daughter turned two, I’d burned out completely.
I was trying to bounce back into a job that no longer fit, juggle motherhood, and hold together a version of myself that didn’t exist anymore.
And then, finally, I stopped.
That pause led me to a word that changed everything: Matrescence.
For the first time, what I’d been living through had a name - and it wasn’t failure.
It was a transformation.
With therapy, coaching, and time, I began to find my way back. Not to who I was before, but to the woman I was becoming.
The one who no longer needed to prove she could have it all, but was ready to define what having it all really meant for her.
Why I’m here
Once I understood matrescence, I couldn’t unknow it.
I saw how many women around me were quietly carrying the same ache: doing everything right, but feeling disconnected from themselves inside it all.
So, I left a 15-year corporate career in communications, retrained as a coach, and became a Mama Rising™ facilitator.
To be the Wing-Mama I wish I’d had: someone who could hold space for the truth of this transformation.
Because I believe motherhood isn’t something to survive or balance.
It’s an invitation to belong to yourself again.
And that’s the work I do now.
Helping women move through matrescence with honesty, gentleness, and clarity, so they can build forward into lives that actually include them.
Motherhood will reshape you - but it should never erase you.
With love,
Katrina xx
Mama, it’s not you.
You’re not broken, and it’s not all in your head.
You’re moving through matrescence.
A powerful, messy, human transformation
as you become the woman you were always meant
to be.
Here’s how I can support you
The Liberated
Mama
-
If you’ve ever whispered “I miss me”…
If you’re quietly holding the whole fort and wondering when it gets to be your turn…
If you’ve tried time-blocking and mindset hacks, but still feel split in two…
Then yes. This was built for you.The Liberated Mama is for ambitious women navigating the identity shift of motherhood — who want success, softness, presence, and power, without choosing one at the cost of the others.
You don’t need to be burnt out to belong here.
You just need to be ready to stop disappearing inside the life you worked so hard to build. -
Clarity. Capacity. And a reconnection to the woman underneath the roles.
You’ll walk away with:
A grounded, language-rich understanding of your identity evolution (matrescence)
Practical tools to manage guilt, decision fatigue, and emotional load
Boundaries that hold you, not just everyone else
A new rhythm that supports the woman you’re becoming — not the one you’re told to “bounce back” to
A quiet confidence in who you are now — and how you want to lead from here
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about feeling more like you.

The Untangle
Session
-
This is for you if you’re holding it all — the schedules, the emotions, the invisible labour — and quietly wondering where you went in the process.
You don’t want a full programme right now. But you are ready to say something out loud that you haven’t even admitted to yourself.
Maybe it’s work. Maybe it’s a relationship shift you haven’t said out loud yet. Maybe it’s just the ache of being in five places at once, and missing in all of them.
Whatever shape it takes, this is where we slow it down, see what’s underneath it all, and find a next step that actually feels like yours.
-
You’ll leave with clearer language for what’s been quietly off, a deeper sense of what’s yours to carry (and what’s not), and one or two felt shifts you can actually carry forward.
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about moving forward from what’s real.
Sometimes one honest conversation changes the way you move through your week, or your life.
-
Before we meet, you’ll receive a short pre-session reflection to help surface what’s stirring.
Then we’ll meet for a 90-minute session on Zoom in a soft, held space to hear yourself again.
You’ll receive two gentle WhatsApp check-ins the week after, and a 30-minute follow-up one month later to help what landed… stay landed.
-
£190 for the full experience: reflection prep, 90-minute session, post-call support, and a one-month-later integration session.

This is for you if…
You know you’ve changed, but making sense of it feels overwhelming. How do you even begin to bridge the gap between who you were and who you are now?
Parts of your old life still call to you, but you’re not sure which pieces to hold onto, and which to let go.
You’re unsure how to reconcile the expectations you had for motherhood with the reality you’re living.
You’re frustrated, questioning yourself constantly, and wondering if you’re the only one feeling this way.
You want to make room for your dreams, your needs, your identity - but where do they fit in this version of motherhood?
-
It’s not that you’re failing. It’s that motherhood has shifted you, and you haven’t had a chance to catch up with who you’ve become.
Over three sessions together, we’ll:
✔ Put words to the changes no one warned you about
✔ Release the pressure of being the “perfect mum”
✔ Reconnect you to the woman underneath the rolesSo you stop asking “where did I go?” and start feeling present in yourself again.
-
Personalised 1:1 support including:
- 3 x 60-minute coaching sessions
- Pocket support between sessions
- Tools from The Mama Mindset Toolbox™✨ Coming Soon — Join the Waitlist for early access + bonus.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from working with you?
What I offer isn’t just coaching, it’s a reconnection space.
A space to say what’s real, without needing to fix it.
A space to hear yourself again.
I bring a blend of coaching and mentoring, through the lens of matrescence — the often-missing piece in how we understand the emotional weight of modern motherhood.
This work won’t push you into productivity.
It will bring you home to who you are now, and what matters from here.
What if I don’t have time?
I know time feels scarce. Especially when you’ve been last on your own list for a while.
But here’s the truth: not having time is often the very reason to start.
You don’t need to squeeze in another thing. You need space that holds you.
All my 1:1 work is tailored around your life with no rigid timelines.
We move at your pace. We shape it to your needs.
This isn’t just support. It’s a reset, with you back in the picture.
What is matrescence?
Matrescence is the transformation a woman goes through as she becomes — and continues becoming — a mother.
It’s emotional. Hormonal. Cultural. Identity-level.
And unlike adolescence, no one talks about it.
This isn’t just about welcoming a baby. It’s about all the invisible shifts happening in you.
You can read more in this blog post.
How do I know this is right for me?
If something in you softened while reading this page, that’s often the sign.
My work is for you if you’re craving something quieter. Deeper. Not more tools but more truth.
This space might not be the right fit if:
You’re looking for fast results or performance coaching
You’re not ready to reflect honestly or explore what’s underneath
You’re seeking a step-by-step system to ‘fix’ things
If you’re still unsure, book a no-pressure Connection Call. We’ll figure it out together.
What are your credentials?
I’m an ICF-certified transformative coach and a trained Mama Rising™ facilitator, which means I’ve been trained specifically in matrescence and motherhood studies.
I’ve also spent 15 years in the corporate world, and I’ve lived the tension of trying to ‘do it all’ after becoming a mum.
I’ve supported dozens of women through identity shifts, return-to-work wobbles, and the quiet ache of feeling like they’ve disappeared inside their own lives.
I’m also a Mental Health First Aider and a member of the Association for Coaching.
This isn’t just professional for me. It’s personal. And I’ll always let you know if I think another kind of support would be more helpful for you.
Can I really invest in myself right now?
I know that investing in yourself can feel… complicated.
Especially now it’s not just you.
But the truth is, you’re not just paying for a session. You’re giving yourself a new place to stand.
Payment plans are available, and I can support you with wording if you’re seeking employer funding.
If the pull is there, and you’re wondering if this can work, get in touch.
Let’s talk it through.
Not sure where to start?
If you’re feeling unsure about what kind of support fits you right now, that’s completely okay.
You don’t have to figure it out on your own.
The Reconnection Call is a gentle 20-minute conversation - a small pause in the noise to name what’s been heavy, feel less alone inside it, and get a sense of what you might need next.
No pressure, no pitch - just a space to breathe, talk it through, and reconnect with what’s true for you.
