We believe in you, and your innate ability to mother.
- Lactation Consultation – Pre and post birth
- Breastfeeding Education and Support

What we do
Our role is to Educate, Empower, Support and Inspire. Mamas make the world go round, your wellness is on our mind!
We advise all moms-to-be and new moms to screen for PMADS to be aware of their emotional and psychological health and provide support and help where required. Your mental health plays an integral role in you and your baby’s feeding journey.
Matrescence Africa would like to acknowledge Postpartum Support International’s (PSI’s) support towards our Perinatal Wellness and Screening Initiative.
The benefits of breastfeeding in protecting infants from infection and promoting a strong bond between mother and baby are widely understood; however, fewer people realize that breastfeeding has a significant impact on preventing chronic diseases such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. (UNICEF)
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines maternal mental health as “a state of well-being in which a mother realizes her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her community” (2; p 1195)
