Root & Bloom: Matrescence - Relationship Boundaries & Support

A gentle exploration of matrescence, centred on relationships, boundaries and support during pregnancy and postpartum.

🌿 Root & Bloom: Understanding Matrescence 🌸

Becoming a mother is a profound life transition. It reshapes not only your body, but also your emotions, identity and relationships. This often-overlooked transformation has a name: matrescence.

Root & Bloom’s third session — Relationship Boundaries & Support — is a gentle, trauma-informed space designed to help you navigate the changes in your relationships during pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood. Together, we’ll explore why setting boundaries can feel challenging, how to identify the support you truly need, and share practical, compassionate strategies to communicate and maintain connection — without pressure to “get it right” or meet anyone else’s expectations.

All sessions offer:
✨ Calm, grounding practices to support your nervous system
✨ Evidence-informed insight into the emotional journey of motherhood
✨ Space to reflect and share (only if you feel comfortable)
✨ Practical tools to take away and use in daily life
✨ Connection with other women navigating motherhood
