Welcome to
Balancing the sane and slightly insane moments of motherhood - one day at a time!
“Matrescence
like
Adolescence”
Aurélie Athan, Ph.D
... and I’m a trained Matrescence Coach, Facilitator & Activist, Postgraduate Student of Trinity College Dublin and former Gallery Manager. But my biggest job for the last decade has been being a Mama!
For what feels like a lifetime I’ve walked, and often stumbled, down the path of motherhood. Or Matrescence, as I believe it should be known. The process of Becoming a Mother.
I think this process is never over. And I think especially mamas who have been mothering for years can suffer from poor mental health.
Hi, I’m Eliane
Joy, Healing, Newfound...
Sadness, Grief, Loss...
Motherhood is never linear.
Never just one thing. Things can change, and will, in an instant. How you feel about something can change to the opposite in the blink of an eye, the flash of a tiny smile, soft skin touch, a brain-splitting shriek.
I have struggled with contradicting feelings of joy and loss, peace and anger, happiness and guilt a lot on my Matrescence journey. It can be so confusing and overwhelming, and it can feel like all you can do is keep your head above water.
So… the Sane Mama was born. A space to start a conversation on how we can move from survival mode into a more joyful and brave life as mamas. A space to bring some of my ideas to life, through workshops, writings and events. I’m so glad you are here!
What The Sane Mama does
