Transform Course
Just as adolescence is the transition from child to auld, matresence is the transition from woman to mother.
When a child is born, so is a mother - a transformation that is both joyous and tumultuous.
And understanding your unique experience of this journey supports the journey towards becoming whole again.
You deserve to thrive in motherhood.
To pursue your own goals and passions -
And to feel calm and confident in your choices and mothering style.
You deserve to embrace who you are with care and compassion, and feel empowered by the woman you are becoming.
Let me show you how…
“Transform” offers you the space to help you navigate through the fog of this identity shift by giving you skills to support your exploration of how this rite of passage has transformed you and how societal norms have crafted this version of motherhood for you… so that you can untangle your own truths and get clear on who you are now and who you want to be, and build a more beautiful life.
Designed for growth-oriented mothers who want MORE: who want to fuel the fire within, are ready to get real, and who are inspired to cultivate change from the inside out.
Introducing “Transform” - a 6 month intimate container for mothers who are on a quest to break free from the unrealistic standards of modern motherhood so that they can pave a better way for themselves, their children and their families. This is for women who are on healing journeys - honoring their authenticity, vulnerability and truth, so that they can become their most confident, content and connected selves, living a life full of joy and purpose.
Transform offers both an invitation and a promise: when we dare to drop the standards and expectations of being a “perfect mother” and lean into our truths, we open ourselves to the magic of our daily experiences, and cultivate spaces that bring purpose and meaning to our lives.
Who Transform is for:
Mothers who want to model thriving for their children
Mothers who want to challenge the narrative of self sacrifice in motherhood and learn how to honor their needs and desires
Mothers who long to feel more aligned with their true self and bold in their authenticity; joyful and alive in this season of their lives
Mothers who want to feel calm, confident and empowered as woman within motherhood
Mothers who desire to trust themselves, their decisions and their parenting choices
Mothers who want to step out of a cycle of burnout and resentment and instead learn how to lean into what makes them feel fulfilled and easeful
Mothers who yearn for a greater sense of self compassion and a kinder inner voice
Mothers who want to relinquish feelings of guilt and comparison and instead embody feelings of worthiness and fulfillment
Mothers who are in pursuit of their village & have a deep inner knowing that true healing unfolds through soulful connection with others
Transform is the space of healing, empowerment and support you have been searching for.
There is another way to motherhood.
What you can expect:
Untangle yourself from cultural norms and stories that are holding you back from living a fulfilling and impactful life
Illuminate the ways in which patriarchal norms and the “perfect mother” narrative fuel your inner critic and keep you exhausted, unhappy, and constantly doubting yourself

Untangle your worth from your motherhood, and feel grounded in your sense of self
Step into your most powerful, aligned, nurtured, confident and authentic self - so that you can model the way for your children
Transform is an intimate, nurturing and safe space designed to support you, as a mother, to start to take back your power in motherhood and flourish.
Who YOU are is incredibly important and worthy.
The world needs mothers thriving, shining, and sharing their gifts.
Transform is perfect for you if…
You can’t seem to shake the feeling that something is missing and desire something MORE - but cannot overcome the feelings of guilt stopping you in pursuing your own goals, ambitions and dreams
You feel as though you have to be supermum for everyone else and feel depleted and unable to do anything for yourself
You feel as though you no longer know yourself since becoming a mother, and are unsettled by this new version of yourself
You find yourself struggling with the demands of motherhood and worn down by feelings of “not being good enough” & resentment
You want to raise happy children, whilst honoring yourself and showing up in the world with more authenticity
You believe that your children’s greatest chance at thriving is for you to exemplify thriving for them
You feel deeply moved to improve the world starts and believe that it starts with improving your relationship with yourself

This is where we rumble with a new way of being mothers as we attune to the wisdom in our sorrow and let it transform us. Learn to quiet the noise and connect with your inner knowing, values and self-worth to access what is a “yes” and a “no” for you (and your family). In this module we will:
Explore how the predominant Western Style of parenting (Intensive Mothering) fuels overwhelm, resentment, shame and burnout

I am a mother to a little boy who inspires me everyday to put curiosity, wonder and connection as my top priorities. Since his birth, I am clearer on how I want to create a life that exemplifies love.
My hope is that my work will transform the way you approach your life and your beliefs, and inspire you to create daily practices that feel aligned to the truth of who you are and aspire to be.
I've dedicated the past eight years of my career as an Occupational Therapist to supporting women on their own journeys of self-discovery and mental health. I have since combined this knowledge with my passion of supporting women during motherhood and hope that the material I share can act as a soft landing place for you to explore your own transformation.
Going through my own challenges and facing my own fears is what led me to create this very course you’re reading about. I had to get curious about what parts of myself brought up feelings of guilt, shame, inadequacy, resentment, grief, and loneliness and learn how to tend to them with care and compassion.
Hello, I’m Kendra
And I adore seeing women thrive in motherhood, enjoy mothering and love themselves through their own identity shifts and transformations this season of life brings.
When I became a mother, there was a very real, but at the time imperceptible, 'split' within me:
I remember looking around my life and although I was incredibly grateful for the birth of my beautiful little boy, I felt there was something missing…
I was torn between contradictions:
A desperate desire to be with my son - to nurture and care for him and witness every milestone he ever made -
And on the other hand, this deep pull to be a woman with dreams, goals and a purpose in this world…
There was a huge gap between the expectation of motherhood and the reality of it and I found myself caught in this gap, feeling guilty for desiring MORE than motherhood.
And this is why I created Transform
And then I stumbled upon the word “matrescence” in Amy Taylor Kabbaz’s book: Mama Rising - and suddenly this inner split made sense. Suddenly there was a word that held space for me as a woman AND a mother to explore and honour this version of myself that was emerging. Amy’s work spoke to the profound impact motherhood was having on every area of my life; my experience of myself, my relationships and my hopes and dreams for the future.
Overtime I began to speak about my experience in both my personal, and professional life and soon learned that what was part of my lived experience of motherhood was universal - other mamas were feeling similar things.
If you desire to get to know yourself better within motherhood, and want to follow that stirring in your heart for MORE, then this is for you.
This program is in recognition of how motherhood changes us; and offers us the opportunity to rediscover a new version of ourselves. This program is for the woman that deeply believes that there has to be another way to do motherhood and has felt a stirring within her for something more – more ease, more clarity, more confidence, more support and MORE. And that motherhood can be the greatest gift in learning how to honor our inherent worth, creativity and capacity if given the opportunity.
“Transform” offers a safe space for you to embark on a journey of self discovery.
A journey of unlearning the expectations and rules of modern motherhood, so that you can fully experience, and embody, the mother you desire to be in your heart.
A journey to support your experience of wholeness and connecting with a more meaningful and joyful life.
