The Matrescence

Founded by Lauren Hays and Megan Dalton, The Matrescence was born out of a desire to help other women navigate their personal experiences with motherhood while providing a community to support, uplift, and empower one another.

Lauren was working in the NICU as an RN and recognized the lack of support those mothers and families had while navigating that experience and had little to no follow-up support after they left the hospital.

The Matrescence is a digital app and brand dedicated to advocating and innovating in maternal mental health. By collaborating with top-tier professionals in maternal health and behavioral health, their team has been working relentlessly to create a meaningful impact in the lives of mothers worldwide.

When you become a member, they connect women facing similar challenges in a safe place, allowing for open and honest conversation.

Their global members-only community allows for a personal connection with other women and exclusive expert-curated content that encourages and empowers you to be your best self. Combining personal experiences and science-backed research, we provide actionable strategies, coping mechanisms, and accessible educational resources focusing on maternal wellness.

They will also provide you with a library of credentialed maternal expert education in various formats regarding all the things that impact mental health in motherhood (breastfeeding support, pelvic floor 101, intrusive thoughts education, lifestyle shifts such as sleep hygiene and nutrition, etc.).

The Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce awarded them the 2024 Small Business Superstar.

They have served thousands of clients within the app to date, and I know they will continue to impact mothers everywhere significantly.
