Testimonials
When I returned to work after having my first baby, I felt stuck and unempowered, with so much of my energy taken up by adjusting to life as a new mum. Katrina helped me realise that I could actively shape my motherhood. Through our sessions, I gained clarity on what truly matters to me, challenged old beliefs that were holding me back, and began taking small, manageable steps towards change. I now firmly believe I’m worthy of focusing on 'Project Me' alongside being a mum. I’ve rediscovered my creativity and the importance of fun, humour, and play in my life. I no longer feel the pressure to constantly ‘do-do-do.’ By being more intentional with my time, I’ve carved out space each week to focus on my personal growth—something I’d been missing. The tone of the sessions felt so natural and quickly put me at ease, and Katrina's ability to ask the right questions at the right time led to some really empowering moments. Thank you!”
Natasha, seeking to reconnect with herself and clarify her professional direction post-motherhood
Working with Katrina has been life-changing. Her coaching helped me navigate the complexities of returning to work as a new mum, and the pressure to excel in both areas right away. Before our sessions, I felt overwhelmed by the need to ‘do it all’ perfectly. Now, I’ve learned to manage my expectations, show myself grace, and focus on what truly matters, without the constant stress. Through Katrina’s guidance, I realised I don’t need to be perfect or have everything figured out straight away. I now feel empowered to set realistic boundaries, honour my needs, and make decisions based on my values. Post-coaching, I’m focused on prioritising my well-being, being intentional with family time, and tackling work tasks that truly make an impact. Most importantly, I trust my intuition more than ever. Katrina has shown me that it’s possible to integrate my career ambitions and motherhood in a way that feels fulfilling without sacrificing either.
Cleo, wanting to make space for her professional ambition alongside the demands of motherhood.
Working with Katrina came at a time when I was feeling lost and uncertain both personally and professionally. Her holistic approach helped me dig deep into my values, ambitions, and the blocks that were holding me back. Through our sessions, I was able to unlock the answers I’d been tying myself up in knots about inside. Katrina encouraged me to see challenges in a new light and helped me approach them with a fresh perspective. I now have a clearer understanding of what really matters to me at this stage in my life, a sense of direction that feels good, and most importantly fresh energy.

Professional Background
Before training as a coach, I spent 15 years in brand communications, working in fast-paced, creative agency environments. My last role was Senior Director in the Purpose and Sustainability division at one of the UK’s leading ad agencies.
After maternity leave, I returned to that role and felt the full weight of early motherhood colliding with my professional identity. The struggle to merge the ambitious professional with the grounded mum I longed to be was overwhelming. I valued my career, but I felt stretched thin, constantly questioning whether I was doing enough in either role.
Alongside my client work, I had always been drawn to the people side of the business—shaping team culture, leading training and development, and supporting colleagues as a Mental Health First Aider. But over time, I felt the pull to make a more personal impact.
Becoming a mum was the catalyst. I wanted work that aligned with my values—something meaningful that also gave me flexibility and control over when, how, and how much I worked. So, I left the corporate world, retrained as a coach, and founded my own business to help mums navigate and shape their own motherhood.
What drew you to coaching?
Motherhood turned my world upside down. I went from feeling confident in my career to completely lost in my identity as a mum. The first two years were a whirlwind of overwhelm, guilt, and self-doubt—I felt like I was failing at both motherhood and my career while every other mum seemed to have it all together. Then I came across one word that changed everything: matrescence.
For the first time, I realised I wasn’t broken—I was experiencing a profound transformation that no one had prepared me for. With the support of therapy and coaching, I let go of who I thought I should be and started to connect with what truly mattered to me now.
That experience lit a fire in me to support other mums through this transition. I left my 15-year corporate career, retrained as a coach, and became a Mama Rising™ Matrescence Facilitator to be the wing-mama I wish I’d had.
What I love most about coaching is seeing mums realise that while so much about parenthood is outside their control, they do have the power to embrace who they’ve become and shape motherhood on their terms. That shift—from feeling lost and overwhelmed to grounded, confident, and clear on what they want—is incredible to witness.
I wholeheartedly believe that with the right support, motherhood isn’t just something to survive; it’s an opportunity to rediscover yourself and create a life that feels right for you.

Caught in the push-pull of motherhood & career?
Why does it feel so hard to be the mother you want to be and stay connected to the career you worked so hard for?
