Kia Ora....

I am delighted you are here!

I’m Lisa, a New Zealand Registered Social Worker with over 16 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life transitions.

I offer counselling support for mothers during pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood, with a particular focus on matrescence - the profound transition into and through motherhood, that touches every part of life.

Alongside my professional experience, I am also a mother of two.

This lived understanding deepens my compassion for the complexity of motherhood, while my work remains grounded in ethical, client-centred practice.

With Gratitude, Lisa

WHY.... MATERNAL WELLNESS

Maternal Wellness was created in response to the profound and often unspoken

changes that accompany motherhood.

Through professional experience and my personal experience of motherhood, I have seen (and continue to see) how often mothers are expected to adapt, cope and carry these transitions quietly.

Maternal Wellness exists to offer a safe and nurturing space for mothers to explore and make sense of their unique experience, feeling acknowledged, supported and met with care throughout the process.

I wholeheartedly believe, every mother deserves the opportunity to share their experience

Engaging in counselling can help make the load feel a little lighter.
