Matrescence- The Critical Transition Nobody Talks About
Supporting mothers with the right care, at the right time, from pregnancy through early motherhood. Developed by clinicians specialising in pregnancy and postnatal care
Matrescence
Definition:
Matrescence is the neurological, psychological, physical, and identity transition a person goes through from pregnancy through early motherhood
Most healthcare systems and workplaces only measure what’s visible. But the real transition happens between appointments, in changing identity, cognition, and role.
Matresa exists to make this transition visible, measurable, and supported, for mothers and the organisations that rely on them.
Why this matters:
Invisible change leads to hidden risk in health, confidence, and workforce engagement.
Traditional maternity benefits treat this as leave, not transition.
Matrescence workplace programs bridge care and performance readiness.
Matrescence - pregnancy → brain + identity transition → return to work
Making Maternal Healthcare Personal, Preventative, and Possible.
For Mothers
Feel seen, heard, and supported, early and between appointments.
Personalised guidance that helps you understand what’s normal, notice when something feels off, and get the right support at the right time, all in one place.
Calm clarity when you need it most.
Clear, reassuring support to help you make sense of symptoms, emotions, and changes, so you know what’s normal, what’s not, and what to do next.
Confidence through birth and back to work.
Ongoing support that doesn’t stop at delivery, helping you feel prepared, supported, and confident as you navigate early motherhood and your return to work.
Support for your matrescence journey. Understand the deeper transition support you need, not just checklists.
For Employers
Retain critical talent.
Continuous maternal support from pregnancy to return-to-work helps prevent the loss of experienced women post-maternity.
Maintain engagement during maternity leave.
Matresa fills the support gap when traditional benefits pause, keeping mothers connected, supported, and prepared to return.
Stronger teams, lower disruption.
Healthier mothers mean smoother transitions, reduced absenteeism, and a more resilient, inclusive workforce.
Support the full matrescence transition. Recognise and proactively support the neurological, emotional, and identity shifts of early motherhood, not just maternity leave.
For Healthcare

Proactive identification of maternal needs enables timely, appropriate support, helping prevent escalation, reduce avoidable interventions, and improve maternal outcomes.

Longitudinal understanding from pregnancy through early motherhood supports better clinical decision-making, more targeted programs, and more efficient use of limited resources.
