Matrescence is a term coined by the anthropologist Dana Raphael. It is defined as the process of becoming a mother, and describes the physical, psychological, and emotional changes people go through when entering into motherhood. I have searched for over a year to find a maternal mental health OT--and boy did I hit the jackpot when I found Awena. She has developed an online business solely focused on supporting women as they experience matrescence. Her business is called Naomie Ella and you can access her courses at https://www.naomieella.com/.  Awena is truly one of the most authentic and beautiful souls I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I think you will find her just as inspiring as I did--so don't wait--press play now! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
