Why work with a matrescence coach?

Motherhood is one of the biggest transition points in a woman’s life. It often changes how you see yourself, your relationships, your work, and what you prioritize. Yet many women move through this journey feeling unprepared for the internal changes that come with becoming a mother.

My coaching helps you understand matrescence, the developmental transition into motherhood, so you can make sense of what you’re experiencing so you can navigate your journey with a deeper understanding of yourself, increased confidence and agency over this period of your life.

Together, we create space to explore your changing identity, values, career, relationships, and wellbeing while building practical tools to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Using evidence-based frameworks and personalized coaching, I help you reconnect with who this version of yourself, make intentional decisions about work and family, set healthy boundaries, reduce overwhelm, and build a version of motherhood and life that feels sustainable and aligned with what matters most to you.

Testimonials

  • “From our first session, I felt instantly safe and understood. She has this incredibly calm, grounded presence that makes you feel like you can exhale. It never felt clinical or prescriptive. It felt personal, intuitive, and genuinely supportive…working with Tingi gave me a deeper sense of connection to my body and confidence in my decisions. Not because she told me what to do, but because she helped me understand myself better. If you’re stepping into motherhood for the first time, or even thinking about it, this kind of support is something I now see as essential. You might not know what you need yet, but having someone like Tingi in your corner makes all the difference. I’m so grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

    — Nicole Butler

  • “I’d absolutely recommend [Transition to Parenthood Coaching], especially for couples who want to approach the transition into parenthood more intentionally rather than just ‘figuring it out as they go’. Tingi's Transition to Parenthood program helped us to properly think about what kind of parents and partners we wanted to be, where our gaps might be, and what tools would help us navigate such a massive life transition as a team. The Gottman-based tools and role plays gave us a shared language and foundation to work from, while also creating space for really honest conversations. I also liked that it never felt overly rigid, pedantic, or overwhelming — the sessions felt approachable, human, and easy to integrate into real life."

    — Karen

  • “I have found my coaching sessions with Tingi to be incredibly valuable. Her warm, empathetic coaching style creates a safe space for honest reflection and open discussion, while her thoughtful questions have consistently challenged the way I think and how I look at situations. Throughout the process so far, she has made me feel heard, empowered, and supported. I’m truly grateful for the meaningful impact her coaching has already had on me, and I’m excited to see where the rest of our journey leads.”

    — Olivia

  • “I cannot recommend Tingi enough for the profound impact she has had on my life perspective. Her coaching has helped me release outdated narratives that were holding me back...This mental clarity has been invaluable in my role as a mother. With Tingi’s guidance, I’ve shifted from feeling overwhelmed by the demands of parenthood to feeling grounded and capable. She has helped me integrate my personal growth with my responsibilities at home, creating a more harmonious and fulfilling experience for both myself and my children…Tingi helped me step back and realize that while I cannot control every situation, I have absolute power over my perspective and response.”

    — Yik Kwan

  • “I would highly recommend Tingi and her (Re)Define Motherhood program to any woman navigating the transition into motherhood…Tingi's coaching style nails balance between structure and fluidity. There’s a clear framework, but the sessions are guided by what’s real and present for you. Tingi [is] warm, kind, and an incredibly attentive listener. She picks up on subtle cues and gently guides the conversation into deeper (and often unexpected) directions, drawing on a mix of somatic work, guided visualization, and grounded, honest conversation. The depth of the program also surprised me. You’re not skimming the surface -- you’re working through questions around values, purpose, and identity in a way that feels safe, honest, and thoughtful…I will always be grateful to Tingi for this.”

    — MK K

  • "Tingi's warm, positive, and genuine approach makes every session feel welcoming and productive. She adapts seamlessly to the topics and thoughts I bring up, ensuring our conversations are always relevant and insightful. The self-introspection exercises like 'Life Purpose' and 'The Leader Within' have been particularly powerful, helping me uncover my personal values and guiding me towards a suitable career path. I highly recommend her coaching services to anyone seeking clarity and direction in their life."
