I guide moms on their own healing journeys. I support female caretakers with mindfulness, somatics, and nervous system regulation.

From stress, overwhelm, and burnout to balance so you can live your most authentic, fulfilled, and badass life.

The Mother’s Healing Circle meets monthly over zoom.

It’s a support group for moms on their own unique healing journeys. We use mindfulness, somatics, and nervous system awareness to deepen our own personal growth in the context of modern motherhood. This space is to reflect, share, and support one another in a nonjudgemental, trauma-informed way.

This is an inclusive space built intentionally for women, females, and non-binary folks who are in a mothering or caretaking role for their own children, children in the community, or their own inner child.

Thursday Jan 22 1pm ET (US)
On Zoom
Suggested donation. All are welcome.

Sauna not required!! (But highly recommended😘)

Here are some other ideas for self-care between Christmas and New Years for moms with littles:

✨Put on a feel-good movie and make popcorn & hot cocoa.
✨Go for a nature walk and see what signs of life you find even in the dead of winter
✨Make yourself tea and curl up with your favorite book and weighted blanket
✨Take an extra long shower with a steamer in nothing but candlelight
✨Learn a new art or craft. Something with your hands. Don’t worry about doing it well or even making it “good”.
✨Invest in yourself. Take a class, get a therapist, hire a coach, or start a group program. This should be something you WANT, not something you feel you “should” do.
✨Start a mindfulness practice. Spend 5 minutes a day just focusing on your breathing, walking, or feeling.

This is NOT the time for resolutions for improvement or setting goals for 2026. It’s about intentionally filling your cup for the first part of 2026 - when we are still in the dead of winter darkness.

Even the biggest trees started as a seed in darkness. We hibernate. We conserve energy. We do what brings us joy and light. And we trust that come spring, we feel ready for a new cycle to begin.

If 2025 left you feeling depleated in modern motherhood, you are not alone. If you want 2026 to be different, you need to start the year by filling your cup.

“But how?” you say? Because we all know self-care shouldn’t be another to-do to add to your responsibilities. And blaming moms for the lack of institutional support is so NOT helpful.

Committing to self care often starts with deep emotional work. It requires:

1. Knowing your worth
2. Choosing to do things differently
3. Letting go of expectations and being authentic
4. Knowing all parts of yourself intimately, especially your shadow
5. Clear communication and setting boundaries with others

If you want an on-demand 4-part workshop series on entering the new year with intention and starting your nervous system healing journey in motherhood, I’ve got the link to a freebie on my website.

Need a holiday survival guide for the overwhelmed mom? I’ve got 8 tips for getting thru the holidays without loosing your sh*t.

Since you’re already here, first tip:

1. Drink hot cocoa before bed. Chocolate has magnesium and warm milk has tryptophan, both of which help ease you into a more restful state.

Comment “holidays” and I’ll send you a link to my FULL guide with 8 short tips for surviving the holidays. It’s a freebie!

I’m just a millennial mom alone in the woods looking for her sister coven of other mothers to navigate these dystopian times while raising emotionally resilient kiddos.

Are you a mom, a cycle-breaker, someone who is working on raising herself while also raising little ones, and learning how to regulate your nervous system as an adult and caretaker?

Yay! Me too! You’re here! You found me!

I’m a mother, self-healer, somatic guide, and alchemist. I’m a recovering people-pleaser, perfectionist, and over-performing eldest daughter learning to set boundaries, find inner peace, and cultivate self-love and compassion.

I focus on the mother’s nervous system as the blueprint for what she is reflecting to her children. So what heals the mother heals the future of the world.

Here’s what I’ve learned:
✨Somatic healing isn’t about overriding your instinctual responses. Trust yourself.
✨You can’t gaslight yourself to regulate emotions. Being zen all the time is also dysregulation.
✨Trauma lives in the body. Changing your mindset or re-framing thoughts isn’t enough.
✨There is a time and a place for all your big feelings. This is hard and beautiful and overwhelming.
✨As a modern mom, that time and space is very limited. Carve it out, commit to it, use it wisely.
✨Healing a nervous system is 10x more powerful when you do it in community.

I offer monthly virtual mother’s healing circles. Donation-based. All female caretakers are welcome.

Join me December 4th @ 1pm ET to heal in community with a group of moms who get it. DM “circle” to register for the zoom link.

From birthdays to goodbyes. Tiberius our rabbit is not doing well today. We have had three rabbits and seen the decline come quickly before. He is very old for a rabbit, likely partially deaf and blind, and certainly arthritic.

He had a burst of energy when we brought him to the new house. He was back to exploring nooks and corners, chewing cardboard boxes, and finding spots of sunshine to nap in during the day.

But this morning, when we awoke, his dinner from last night sat untouched. His litter box was still clean. He was lethargic and wobbly when he tried to stand. He let us gently pick him up.

He had a good life. The best we can do now is make him comfortable until the end.

Grief is familiar to me by now. But I wonder how this loss will land for my five-year-old son. How can I honor the end of life just as we celebrate the beginnings? I will let my son see the tears and sadness, knowing that it makes it safe for him to show his tears and sadness too.

Tybee, you were a big dumb goof when we brought you home. We joked that Lyra was the brains and you were the muscle. But after she passed, we saw a new side of you. One that was more clever, silly, and endearing. You became my cuddly bug.

Letting you go is hard. There are no right answers. We just hope it’s as quick and comfortable as we can make it for you.

I hope you will be binking all the way to Lyra in that floating carrot patch in the sky.
