Early motherhood asks a lot of your nervous system.

Constant touch, interrupted sleep, and heightened responsibility can keep your body in a state of alert, even when nothing is “wrong.”

Regulation doesn’t have to be complicated. Small sensory cues, such as a hand on your heart, a slow exhale, and gentle movement, can help your body feel a little safer in the moment. 

If you’re looking for a gentle, trauma-informed space to feel less alone, our Pregnancy & Postpartum Support Group is here for you.

I’ve seen how trauma echoes quietly through a family line, not just in my clients, but in my own story. Becoming a mother made me realize how quickly old wounds, attachment patterns, and protective responses can surface when we’re trying so hard to do things differently.

In therapy, I support women in understanding these responses with compassion instead of blame. We explore how your nervous system adapted to past experiences, how those patterns show up now, and how to build a sense of safety in your body so connection feels possible instead of overwhelming.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone. Healing while parenting is tender work, and you don’t have to navigate it without support. You can learn more or schedule a free consultation through the link in my bio. 🤍

Healing doesn’t follow a calendar, and pregnancy makes that even more true.

Your body is doing so much right now. Growing life. Reorganizing. Protecting. Adapting.
It’s not meant to “reset” just because the year changed.

If you’re moving slower, feeling more aware than relieved, or noticing emotions surfacing, nothing is wrong with you. This is often how real healing begins.

Your body sets the pace. Not the calendar. Not expectations. Not pressure. 🤍

January can feel surprisingly heavy for families.

After the excitement of the holidays fades, many households feel the emotional and physical drop. Mothers often carry the mental load of it all, feeling more tired, more reactive, and wondering why everything suddenly feels harder.

This isn’t a personal failure. It’s a nervous system response after an intense season of holding, doing, and managing.

If January feels tender in your home, a few gentle supports can help:
- Protect simple routines like meals and bedtime for stability
- Lower expectations and choose small, realistic goals
- Plan easy, low-effort moments of connection at home
- Give yourself permission to rest instead of “reset”
- Reach out for support if it feels like too much to hold alone

Nothing is broken. Your system is recalibrating. And that deserves care, not criticism. 🤍

When you feel overwhelmed by noise, demands, or emotions that seem to rise out of nowhere, it’s not a personal failure. It’s often your nervous system asking for safety. Sensory overload can activate younger parts of us that learned long ago to stay alert, shut down, or push through without support.

Reparenting is the practice of responding differently now, not with judgment, but with steadiness. It’s learning how to soothe your body when it feels flooded, and offering yourself the care that wasn’t always available. Regulation doesn’t start in the mind. It starts in the body.

If this feels familiar, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Somatic therapy can help you understand these patterns and build a more regulated relationship with yourself.

So often I hear, “I understand it… so why does my body still react this way?”
And the truth is tender: your mind can make sense of something long before your body feels safe enough to release old patterns.

Your nervous system isn’t overreacting, it’s remembering.
It learned these responses during moments when you had to protect yourself, and it’s doing its best with what it knows.

Somatic work helps your body catch up to your insight.
It creates space for safety, connection, and regulation, so healing becomes something you can actually feel, not just think about.

If this resonates, take a breath. You’re not broken, you’re becoming.

At Soma Heart & Mind, we support this mind–body integration through trauma-informed and somatic therapy. You can learn more or book a session at somaheartandmind.com.

Trauma doesn’t just live in the mind; it lives in the body.

Even when we’ve made sense of what happened, our bodies can still hold the tension, the vigilance, or the numbness that once kept us safe.

Somatic therapy helps you reconnect with your body’s wisdom, learning to notice, listen, and release what’s been stored. Through gentle, body-based approaches like Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and IFS-informed work, healing becomes less about retelling your story and more about helping your body feel safe again.

✨ Healing happens when your body finally believes what your mind already knows: it’s over, and you’re safe now.

If you’re ready to begin that reconnection, you can learn more about 1:1 somatic therapy at somaheartandmind.com.

These small practices help you create safety in real time.

They’re not about “fixing” anxiety, they’re about helping your body remember what calm feels like.

Start with one. Do it slowly.
Notice what shifts, even slightly. 🌿

Motherhood changes you, in every possible way. 🤍

It’s the deep love and the deep exhaustion.
The joy of watching your child grow and the grief of losing parts of who you used to be.
It’s feeling everything, all at once, and wondering why no one told you it would feel this complicated.

Your body holds so much of it: the tension, the worry, the constant doing.
Somatic therapy helps mothers slow down, release what they’re carrying, and reconnect with themselves again.

You’re not doing it wrong. You’re just human, and you deserve support too. 🌿

This is what Soma Heart & Mind is about.

It’s not just talk therapy. It’s about slowing down and listening to what your body has been holding, the tension, emotions, and memories that words can’t always reach.

Somatic therapy bridges the mind, heart, and body.
It helps you find safety within yourself, not just insight in your thoughts.

That’s where healing really begins. 🤍

Feeling everything deeply? There’s a reason. 🤍

Highly sensitive women often absorb the emotions and energy around them, leading to overwhelm or exhaustion. Somatic therapy helps bring you back to yourself by grounding your body, calming your nervous system, and turning sensitivity into self-awareness.

Through gentle, body-centered practices like breathwork and mindful movement, you learn to recognize what’s yours to carry and what’s not.

Trauma doesn’t disappear when time passes.

For many trauma survivors, the body keeps responding as if the event is still happening: through tension, exhaustion, hypervigilance, or disconnection.

That’s because trauma isn’t just a memory; it’s a pattern the nervous system learned to survive.

Somatic and trauma-informed therapy gently help the body relearn safety, one breath, one moment of awareness at a time. 🤍
