Hi, I’m Sarah a Parent and Matrescence Coach certified by the Jai Parenting Institute and Mama Rising, currently working towards my ICF accreditation. My journey to this work has been shaped by my experiences as a mother, educator, and advocate for meaningful change.

With a Master’s degree in Innovative Early Education and over 15 years as an international educator in top-tier schools, I’ve always been passionate about child development. I believed that understanding and supporting children was the key to creating a better, more just world. And becoming a mother changed everything. When my first son was born, I found myself wrestling with a profound shift in my identity—something I later learned was matrescence, the often-overlooked transformation into motherhood.

While continuing my career abroad during COVID, I juggled life with a toddler and a newborn and deepened my study of conscious parenting. The more I researched, the more I realised that empowering parents—not just children—was where true change could take root. Parenting, I came to see, is one of the most significant and challenging undertakings in shaping not just our families, but the world around us.

Through my work with the Mama Rising program, a coaching certification focused on matrescence, I found a holistic framework for supporting mothers as they navigate the emotional, societal, and internal transformations of parenthood. Today, as an expat parent in Ireland, I see how vital it is to create inclusive, supportive spaces where parents feel both seen and empowered.

I’m passionate about helping parents of young children and mothers navigating matrescence find clarity, connection, and confidence. My mission is to support you in raising your children while staying true to yourself—because when parents thrive, families and communities flourish.
