Root & Bloom: Matrescence - Nervous System & Regulation

Explore matrescence with a focus on nervous system regulation, grounding practices, and real support for 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 second session — Nervous System & Regulation — is a gentle, trauma-informed space designed to help you understand how your nervous system is shaped by pregnancy, birth and early motherhood. Together, we’ll explore why you might feel more sensitive, overwhelmed or on edge, and share simple, body-based practices to support regulation, safety and steadiness — without pressure to “fix” or perform.

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
