Maternal Wisdom for Bright Beginnings

At The Centre of Bright Beginnings, we believe that parents are at the centre of a societal revolution. Matrescence expands beyond a mother:

• It is just as relevant if you identify as a prospective parent transition from Adult to Parent

• It affects all families, extending into their communities.

So when a mother or a new parent rises, she uplifts her family and her community. This is how we create conscious change.

Our Approach to Your Care

We have four key focus areas or values that underpin everything we do and offer in order to serve you.

• 1. Embracing Matrescence

  Just as teenagers become adults through the passage of adolescence, women become mothers through the transition of matrescence.

  This is a life-altering and irreversible transition on all levels of existence: physical, hormonal, emotional, social, cultural, economic, spiritual.

  Matrescence is the focus of all our offerings. You may be particularly interested in Matrescence Coaching.

• 2. Continuity of Care

  Numerous research studies have revealed improved outcomes for mothers, babies, parents and children on all levels when they receive continuity of care during matrescence.

  • The health system in Australia, and in many other countries around the world, does not provide continuity of care.

  • We seek to fill this gap by providing you with care all the way from pre-conception, through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and into parenting.

    We do this through our 5 Koshas Model of Care which incorporates Yoga, Bowen Therapy and Matrescence Coaching.

• 3. Celebrating Diversity through Individualised Care

  Your unique matrescence journey is influenced by so many things.

  • External influences can include: social & cultural background, financial situation, family upbringing, religious or spiritual beliefs, proprioception…

  • Internal influences can include: physical health, emotional state, energy levels, mental health, interoception, connection to intuition, connection to the Self…

  We approach every conception journey, every pregnancy and every postpartum journey as unique. And we celebrate this.

  All our offerings are designed so that we can tailor them to meet your needs, as you are right now. We celebrate your diversity and seek to honour it.

  You may be particularly interested in a private yoga class or movement education session.

• 4. Attuning to Biorhythms

  Our bodies are designed to follow a natural ebb and flow throughout the month and across the seasons and the years.

  The linear approach and stressors of modern society can cause depletion, as we constantly operate from a place of doing and giving.

  Ancient wisdom traditions such as the vedic sciences (of which yoga is a part) were attuned to natural rhythms. Our offerings follow the lunar and solar cycles (lunisolar) to foster a balance between doing and being and between giving and receiving. 

  We call our practices for attuning to biorhythms Lunar Yoga.
