✨ The relationship you have with your therapist matters just as much as the tools and techniques they use. A healthy therapist–client relationship creates safety, trust, and space for your authentic self to emerge.

When power feels balanced, the process becomes collaborative—opening the door for true growth and healing. One of many reasons I am so passionate about nature-informed therapy is that it “flattens” the typical provider/client power differential often sensed between 4 walls, and allows you to see the full humanness of your therapist. 🌱

✨ Today’s group was such a beautiful gathering. Three mamas, each at different stages of their motherhood journey, came together and brought so much collective wisdom.

We practiced mindfulness beside the sound of running water, with birds and cicadas accompanying us. We explored self-compassion, and together learned how to differentiate ordinary self-care from authentic, deeply rooted self-care—the kind that nourishes us from within. 🌿💜

We also made space for connection, conversation, and community, to combat the sense of isolation that can often pop up in modern motherhood. Mamas shared that they left feeling more grounded, and each walked away with supportive practices to carry into the weeks ahead, until we meet again.

Grateful for the space we shared today, and looking forward to gathering again next month on 10/3, where we’ll focus on loosening the grip of perfectionism and leaning into good enough mothering. 💜

If this resonates, we still have a couple spots available for October & November, and would love to welcome other moms to join us! See the link in bio to sign up. 🫶

Ever notice when someone says, ✨”It’s funny you say that”✨and leans in to share more? That tiny phrase is a pure gem of emotional resonance. 💎

It’s not just words — it’s a moment where someone outside of you connects with your inner world. 💛

It says:
🌿 You get me.
🌿 I feel seen.
🌿 I trust this space enough to open up.

These small, subtle moments are where growth, insight, and healing often live. 🌱

If this resonates, know that therapy is full of these quiet, powerful connections — and I guide you to notice, feel, and understand them fully.

* “My relationship with my partner has changed, and I don’t know how to reconnect.”

✨ Navigating relationship changes after baby or other family changes
✨ Supporting the transition into each stage of motherhood
