This is for you if even one of these feels true...
You are not alone in this. And you are not broken.
The 3 Secrets you'll discover on 17 June
Why "Being a Good Mother" has nothing to do with putting yourself last
What actually happens to your child when you do.
Most mothers believe self-sacrifice is love. You'll see what the research actually shows — and why caring for yourself is the most protective thing you can do for your child.
Why trying to be everything for everyone makes you lose yourself
The one shift that actually changes everything.
The "strong mother" myth is isolating you. You'll discover why the real antidote to losing yourself is not more willpower — it's the right kind of support.
The Matrescence Map™ — your exact roadmap to feel like yourself again
While raising a child who feels safe and secure.
The framework Akshaya developed for mothers done with just surviving. You'll leave with a clear, personal next step — not more advice on your list.

Mothers who found themselves again
Hear from women who walked this path with Akshaya.
"Working with Akshaya gave me back a part of myself I thought I had lost."
"I learned how to regulate myself first — and my whole home softened."
"The Matrescence Map gave language to what I was feeling — and a way through it."

She knows.Not because she studied it.Because she lived it.
I had been teaching yoga for over a decade.
I had done the breathwork, the Reiki, the coaching certifications, the sound healing. I had a supportive partner. A conscious pregnancy. Every resource in place.
And when my son was two years old, I collapsed on the floor after a yoga class and wept for hours.
I had been pushing. Numbing. Performing. Depletion had quietly replaced love with rage — toward the people I cared about most. I had stopped seeing myself entirely.
The grief and shame landed despite everything I had done. That's when I understood something I couldn't unknow:
"If it happened to me — after everything I'd learned, with all the support I had — it was happening to other mothers."
That was the moment New Mom Village began.
I found the word matrescence and it gave language to what I had lived in silence for two years. I built a methodology to bring other mothers through the same passage — body-first, in community, with structure and real support.
Because you cannot think your way out of a body-level problem.
The problem is not you. The problem is that nobody prepared you.
You wake up and do everything — the feeding, the settling, the endless googling at 2am. You smile when people ask how you're doing. And inside, there is a hollow feeling you can't explain. Some days you cry and don't know why. You miss who you were — then feel guilty for missing her.
You have read the books. You have tried the self-care. You have whispered to yourself at midnight that tomorrow will be different. And still — the heaviness stays.
Here is what no one is telling you: it is not your fault. You are not failing your child. You are going through the most profound identity shift of your life — and no one ever named it for you.
"The problem is not the mother. The problem is that nobody prepared her for Matrescence."
Matrescence
Matrescence is the profound psychological, neurological, hormonal and identity transformation that happens when a woman becomes a mother. It is as significant as adolescence — but unlike adolescence, no one names it, no one prepares you for it, and no one tells you it is normal to feel like you have lost yourself.
You were never broken. You were going through something enormous — alone, in the dark, without a name for it.
The moment you have a name for it, everything begins to change.
Imagine feeling like yourself again — without abandoning the mother you have become.
- ✦Waking up and recognising the woman in the mirror again — not just 'mama', but you.
- ✦Holding your child without that low, constant hum of guilt in your chest.
- ✦Feeling moments of joy that are not performed — they are real, and they are yours.
- ✦Setting down the weight of 'I should be doing more' and breathing fully, perhaps for the first time in years.
- ✦Knowing that the calmer you become, the safer your child feels — and watching that truth unfold in your home.
This is not a fantasy. This is what happens when a mother is finally given the map.
The Matrescence Map™ Framework
A four-step path — built specifically for the mother who has tried everything and still feels lost in herself. Not more advice. A map.
Name
Put language to what you are going through. The relief of a name is the first medicine.
Notice
See the pattern of guilt, exhaustion and disconnection clearly — without shame, without self-blame.
Nurture
Rebuild your nervous system with practices designed for matrescence, not generic wellness advice.
Navigate
Step into the version of you who feels like herself — and raises a child who feels safe in her presence.

You might be wondering...
Yes — completely. No hidden upsell, no card required, no catch. This workshop is free because Akshaya believes the first step should be available to every mother who needs it.
The live workshop runs for approximately 90 minutes — one evening. Not a multi-day programme. Not homework. One focused, gentle, practical session on 17 June.

Matrescence does not have an expiry date. Many women attend years into motherhood and say it was the first time someone gave their experience a name. If you still feel lost in yourself, this workshop is for you.
Most wellness content tells you to practise self-care. This workshop explains why you feel the way you feel — neurologically, psychologically, and in your identity. Understanding what is actually happening is what makes the difference. The Matrescence Map™ is not advice. It is a framework.
Never. This is an emotionally safe space. You can keep your camera off, stay silent, and just receive. You are welcome exactly as you are today.
No. This is a genuine 90-minute workshop with real teaching and a real framework. If you want to keep working with Akshaya afterward, you can — but there is no pressure, ever.
The greatest gift you can give your child is a mother who hasn't lost herself.
You have been carrying this quietly for a long time. You don't have to carry it for one more season alone.
This workshop is free. It will take one evening. And it might be the moment everything begins to soften.
