  • Claire James | Matrescence Practitioner

    I’m passionate about supporting mothers on their matrescence journey, combining my personal experience as a mum and my background as a mental health therapist. Having gone through my own matrescence journey, I understand the transformations that come with motherhood. I'm excited to connect with mums embarking on this journey, helping them to understand, prepare for, and embrace the changes that lie ahead.

  • Stacey May | Matrescence Practitioner

    Kia ora, I’m Stacey May — a mum of two girls and the heart behind May She Flourish. Becoming a mother changed me in ways I could never have imagined — it challenged my identity, my relationships, and how I understood myself. Like many women, I found that motherhood is both beautiful and deeply complex. That experience shaped my passion for supporting others through their own journeys. I’m a Registered Social Worker who brings warmth, empathy, and down-to-earth understanding to my sessions. My approach is grounded in real-life motherhood — the joy and love, but also the exhaustion, uncertainty, and growth that come with it. Through gentle, one-on-one sessions (in person in Ashburton or online), I offer a safe space for women to slow down, reflect, and feel genuinely seen and supported. Together, we explore what’s feeling heavy, nurture self-trust, and find new ways to flourish in this season of change. I believe that when mothers are supported with compassion and connection, the whole whānau — and the wider community — benefit.

    Fees: $140 per session

    Location: Ashburton & Online
