About Matrescence Retreat

---

Morgan Campbell is a Postpartum Doula and devoted mother who birthed Matrescence from both personal experience and professional calling. She envisioned a space where expecting mothers can receive the education and support needed to prepare for postpartum. Through Matrescence, Morgan weaves together her passion for maternal wellness, community care, and deep nourishment, creating a retreat experience that restores and reawakens. Her work is guided by the simple yet powerful truth: mothers deserve to be held, too.

She believes one of the most powerful forms of support for new mothers is each other. While every motherhood journey is uniquely personal, there is a shared thread that weaves us together. Matrescence was created with the understanding that this transition isn’t meant to be done alone. She believes in the healing that happens when mothers gather, when stories are shared, wisdom is exchanged, tears are shed, and we’re reminded that even in our differences, we are walking a shared path.

Matrescence is a 3 day, 2 night retreat thoughtfully designed to prepare and empower expecting mothers for the sacred transition into postpartum. While so much of the conversation centers around birth, the postpartum period—a forever phase, is often overlooked. This retreat brings focus back to where it’s needed most: what happens after the baby arrives.

Rooted in education, community, and care, Matrescence offers expert-led sessions on postpartum recovery, emotional wellness, and newborn care, all while nurturing the mother herself. It’s a space to gather, learn, connect, and be gently held as you prepare for the chapter that truly begins when birth ends.

Our hope is that you leave Matrescence Retreat feeling supported, grounded, and more at ease as you step into this next chapter. And while the education and care you receive will stay with you, the most lasting gift may be the one you didn’t expect, a circle of mothers walking alongside you. A community of women who get it, who uplift, understand, and remind you that you are never alone in the beautiful, messy unfolding of motherhood.

Over the course of three days, you’ll gather with other expecting mothers for an educational and supportive retreat experience. Guided by two seasoned Postpartum Doulas, the Matrescence Retreat offers a postpartum-focused educational journey designed to prepare you for the realities and beauty of early motherhood.

Through guided workshops and open conversation, you’ll explore topics such as:

•     Hormonal changes, physical recovery, and emotional healing
• Identity shifts 
•     “Is this normal?” — understanding common postpartum experiences
• Baby care basics and feeding your baby
• Returning to work
•     Sleep patterns and rest strategies for you and your baby

and much more...

Between sessions, you’ll enjoy restorative downtime, guided journaling, and opportunities to release fears and connect deeply with yourself and others. Each day is complemented by nourishing, nutrient-dense meals thoughtfully prepared to support both you and your baby.
