“Matrescence is the emergence of a new identity—‘the mother’—while trying to comprehend what happened to the old identity—‘the woman’.”
~ Amy Taylor Kabbaz
Namaste, I'm Shagun Gagneja
As a certified Mama Rising Facilitator, Ayurvedic Practitioner, and cultural wellness guide based in Brisbane, I walk the path I guide others through. My own matrescence journey—that profound transformation into motherhood—became my greatest teacher, revealing how ancient wisdom could meet modern motherhood needs.
Growing up between two cultures gifted me a unique perspective on honouring traditions while embracing evolution. Through our work together, you'll discover how to reconnect with your cultural roots or create your own family rituals that honor both your heritage and your evolving identity as a woman and mother.
This space is where your innate wisdom is honoured, where your transformation is celebrated, and where you remember the goddess that has always lived within you—sometimes hidden beneath the layers of motherhood, expectations, and daily demands.
