WE ARE REDEFINING MOTHERHOOD

At The Matricentric Way, we believe mothers have the potential to change not only their own lives but the world around them.

Motherhood today is oppressive, but when mothers come together, we can re-imagine it for the greater good. Context matters. These are the missing pieces needed to revolutionize how we support mothers today:

  • If 1 in 5 mothers will experience a maternal mental health disorder,

  • All 5 out of 5 will experience matrescence, and

  • All 5 out of 5 will experience motherhood within Patriarchal Motherhood.

This context matters because mothers matter.

It’s time to stop pathologizing motherhood.

What if we could help mothers expand their understanding of their experiences by introducing the lens of matrescence? What if we could help them answer the question, “Why is motherhood so hard?”

Hint: It’s not a “me problem”—it’s a “WE problem.”

Too many mothers carry deep maternal shame, wondering, “What’s wrong with me? What am I missing? Am I really the only one?”

The Matricentric Way borrows from trauma-informed care, shifting the question from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What’s happened to me?” This approach supports mothers in de-socializing themselves from the ‘good mother’ myth—a shift that is essential to redefining motherhood.

Led by Chelsea Robinson, this professional training program is designed to empower mothers and maternal health professionals to embrace the transformative process of matrescence, while challenging the outdated cultural narratives that define modern motherhood. Rediscover your strength, connect with a community of changemakers, and lead the way toward a new era of motherhood.

To all women committed to redefining motherhood

When I became a mother, I was deeply unprepared—not just for the sleepless nights and diapers, but for the profound transformation of my identity, relationships, and sense of self. Discovering the concept of matrescence made everything fall into place. It wasn’t just normal—it was powerful and needed to be honored.

The Matricentric Way is my way of sharing this knowledge and supporting other mothers and professionals. This program isn’t just about learning—it’s about transforming, together. Let’s redefine what it means to be a mother in today’s world and build a thriving community where we can all grow.

With warmth and solidarity,

As a therapist, this training has enriched my practice in numerous ways. It provided me with a more comprehensive understanding of matrescence, particularly in highlighting the psychological, emotional and spiritual changes mothers experience during the transition to motherhood.”

On a personal level, this training has also been deeply impactful. It has heightened my own self-awareness, critical thinking and reflection as a therapist and as a mother. It gave me language and words for what I myself went through during my own matrescence.”
