Testimonials
“I’ve just attended their second time mothers webinar and would highly rate this 2 hour course for families having another wee one added to their family. Very practical tips and ideas to help with the new stage. I’ve come away with strategies to implement now, and skills to be adaptive in the face of challenges once baby arrives. Thank you!!”
“Highly recommend! Anybody expecting a child (whether their first, second, or fifth) should do this course. It’s very informative, delivered in a way that is relatable and easy to understand, and the instructor (Christina for the course I attended) was fantastic. It covers parts of parenthood that are so important yet not widely taught, which makes this course so valuable. Thanks again!”
“I am so glad I found Matrescence NZ. I did one of their workshops postpartum and it helped me so much with everything that comes with those few months after birth and beyond. I WISH I had found their antenatal classes before I had my baby. Love this important work.”
