Hi, I’m Katrina,

Coach, mentor and your supportive wing-mama.

But more importantly, I’ve been exactly where you are.

“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.”

Let me share a bit of my story

It sounds arrogant now, but I thought I had motherhood all figured out 🙈.

I prepared meticulously for pregnancy and birth. I researched all the baby kit, and designed a Pinterest-worthy nursery. I attended every class imaginable and devoured my stack of parenting books.

With a demanding career and a nurturing leadership style, I felt ready. I thought I had it all under control.

Sure, I knew I might be a little sleep-deprived and time-poor, but I figured I’d largely carry on living my life as before with a cute baby in tow. That’s what everyone else does, right?

But reality hit hard!

In those early months as a new mama, I felt like I was trapped in a maze.

Disoriented. Exhausted by the constant decisions. Longing to trust my instincts, but crippled with self-doubt. 

“It’s just a phase,” everyone kept telling me, but I was so, so tired of phases; I just wanted ME back.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved my daughter more than I thought was possible, and there were lots of moments of joy and absolute magic, but even a year in, I was still waiting for something to ‘click’. 

Surrounded by seemingly confident mothers, I felt inadequate, wondering why I couldn't just embrace it all. I assumed there was something wrong with me.

Because surely, it’s not meant to feel this way!?

The great unravelling

Like many mamas, I hid my struggles, pretending everything was fine - until I just couldn't anymore.

As my daughter approached her second birthday and we enjoyed our first family holiday, I completely unravelled. 

The combination of trying to ‘bounce back’ into a stressful career (that deep down I no longer found fulfilling), caring for a feisty toddler, and desperately trying to figure out who I was now - all while pretending that everything was “fine” - led me straight to anxiety, depression, and burnout.   

I was forced to pause, leave my job, and focus on getting well.

Then I discovered a word that changed everything:

Matrescence

For the first time since becoming a mama, I felt seen. I wasn’t broken; I was going through a normal (but wildly discombobulating) transformation that nobody had prepared me for.

With the support of therapy and coaching, I started to find my way back to myself. I let go of what I thought I should be doing or feeling, stopped desperately trying to bounce back to the person I was, and started to connect with what truly mattered to me now.

Why I’m here

My personal experience sparked a fire in me to support other mums. I’m passionate about challenging outdated views of motherhood and creating a world where mamas feel seen, valued, and supported during these early, intense years.

That’s why 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 truly gets it and can help navigate the beautiful, yet undoubtedly messy, transformation of matrescence. 

Because I wholeheartedly believe that with time, space, and the right support, motherhood isn’t just something to get through - it’s an invitation to rediscover yourself and create a life that feels right for you.

With love,

Katrina xx

Mama, it’s not you.

You’re not broken, and it’s not all in your head.

You’re going through matrescence - a powerful, messy and disorienting transformation as you journey from woman to mother.

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.

  • This is a 12-week 1:1 coaching and mentoring experience — designed to fit within the juggle, not pile onto it.

    What’s included:

    • A 90-minute grounding session to map your journey

    • 5 x 1-hour coaching calls (fortnightly over Zoom)

    • WhatsApp support between sessions (Mon–Fri)

    • Journaling prompts, practical tools, and curated identity resources

    • A 1-hour wrap-up session + 6-week integration call to sustain your growth

    You can expect truth-telling, gentle rebellion, emotional safety — and someone walking beside you, not ahead of you.

  • £1,280
    or
    4 monthly payments of £320

    You may also consider asking your employer to fund your place — I’m happy to help you craft the request. Just reach out and we’ll map it together.

The Untangle

Session

  • This session is for you if you’re carrying it all, and quietly wondering where you went in the process.

    You don’t want a full programme (yet), but you’re ready to say something out loud you haven’t even admitted to yourself.

    If you’re ready for a space that reflects back what’s true and helps you move forward from it — this is for you.

  • You’ll leave with fresh clarity, emotional language for what’s been quietly off, and one or two shifts you can actually action.

    This isn’t about giving you more to do. It’s about helping you hear yourself again, and begin moving from what’s real.

    Sometimes, all it takes is one conversation to change how you move through the rest of your week.

  • Before we meet, I’ll send over a short reflection to help you name what’s stirring.

    Then we’ll have a 90-minute coaching session via Zoom. A soft space to land and speak freely.

    Over the following week, I’ll check in twice via WhatsApp to hold what surfaced.

    And one month later, we’ll meet again for a 30-minute follow-up to help you feel your next step.

  • The full experience is £190 — including pre-session reflection, 90-minute coaching call, WhatsApp support, and a one-month-later session.

    If you’d like to explore using workplace wellbeing funding, I’m happy to help you make a case for it. Just reach out.

The 

Bridge

  • 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?

  • Stop feeling like you’re sleepwalking through motherhood and replace hesitation with a steady, grounded confidence to embrace this new version of you.

    Step into this chapter with clarity about who you are and what truly matters to you, so you can start making decisions that align with who you are deep down.

    Feel excited about your present and your future, whether that’s cuddles at bedtime, a career shift, or finally prioritising that creative passion.

  • A six-week coaching experience designed to help you understand, connect with, and embrace this evolved version of yourself.

    So you can feel like you again, approach this chapter with greater intention and purpose, and find more joy within these messy, but magical, early years of your motherhood.

    The Bridge will guide you through three foundational steps for a confident and empowered motherhood:

    Phase 1: My Matrescence Map

    Think of this as your personal guide to navigating the transformation that comes with motherhood.

    Phase 2: The Expectation Gap

    We all carry ideas about what motherhood “should” look like - but those unrealistic ideals can keep us stuck.

    Phase 3: Your Motherhood Codes

    Motherhood changes everything, including what matters most to you.

    This isn’t about trying to claw your way back to the old you. The truth is, she’s gone. And that’s okay.

    This is your chance to embrace who you’re becoming.

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 what support you need right now?

That’s completely okay. Let’s talk it through.

Book a FREE 30-minute, Connection Call, no pressure, no awkward pitch.
Just a warm conversation to help you name what’s feeling hard, and explore what might actually help.

Together, we’ll figure out what kind of support fits where you are now.
