“When a woman becomes a mother, she splits in two: who she used to be, and the Mother she is. And unless we honour that radical shift, she will get lost trying to figure out who she is now.”
- Dr Aurelie Athan
It might not feel like it right now — but the way mothers are being supported can change.
And you may be part of that change.
When you work with mothers long enough, something becomes clear.
You can understand the theory.
You can name matrescence, identity rupture, nervous system stress, and emotional load.
You can hold space with empathy and care.
And yet — something still feels missing.
You may find yourself wondering:
“Why does this work feel heavier than I expected?”
“Why do I feel responsible for fixing what feels so systemic?”
“Why do I know so much, but still feel uncertain about how to guide mothers safely and sustainably?”
This isn’t because you’re doing it wrong.
And it isn’t because you need more knowledge.
It’s because most practitioner training prepares you to know, but not to embody the work of supporting mothers through one of the biggest identity transitions of their lives.
That’s where Reclaimed Motherhood Method™ begins.
My work is not a two-dimensional, quick-fix approach.
It’s a compassionate, structured, and embodied framework that helps practitioners support mothers’ emotional, relational, and identity experiences — without pathologising, over-functioning, or burning out.
From here, we create something different:
clarity, confidence, ethical boundaries, and a way of working that feels both human and sustainable.

Kind Words From Our Community
“Working with Kendra helped me learn about who I am since becoming a mother, and allowed me space to begin trusting myself in my motherhood journey. She helped me build my confidence in my own intuition and has reminded me of my value and worth. After working with Kendra, I feel more fulfilled in my mothering role and able to balance my own needs with that of my family without the guilt. I feel stronger in myself, more confident and have a renewed sense of clarity around how I want my life to be as a new mum.”
- Kristin
“Kendra has reminded me of how important it is to create space to nurture myself during my transition into motherhood. Through our work together I have gained a deeper appreciation for the imperfect as she has taught me the value of acceptance. I now trust myself (and don’t feel I have to always fall back on my research) in my motherhood journey. Kendra showed me that to be a mum is to be unapologetically you and live your truth, whatever that truth may look like.”
- Martha
“As a new mum, you have moments where you think “am I the only one that feels this way?” It is the most wonderful, but also isolating time of your life. Kendra has helped me normalize my experience. I no longer feel so lost in the sea of motherhood. It has been my safe space on challenging days.”
- Natalie
“This work helped me understand why supporting mothers felt so heavy — and showed me a different way of working that actually feels sustainable. I feel clearer in my role, more confident in my boundaries, and better equipped to support mothers without losing myself in the process. It’s changed how I practise — and how I care for myself as a practitioner”

Becoming a mother was the making of me. Becoming a practitioner came next.
I’m an occupational therapist, motherhood practitioner, and the founder of Reclaimed Motherhood Method™.
For years, I supported mothers in one-to-one work — and I loved it deeply. But I also felt the cost of holding too much, caring too hard, and working within systems that often misunderstood motherhood altogether.
Motherhood is not just a phase to “cope with.”
It’s a profound identity transition.
And yet, most professional training doesn’t fully prepare us for what it means to sit with that — day after day — as practitioners.
So I created the framework I wish had existed when I began.
Reclaimed Motherhood Method™ is about supporting mothers without abandoning yourself — and about changing the culture of motherhood support from the inside out.
