The Mother Ache™: A Six-Month Healing Journey

Healing the Wounded Daughter. Coming May 2026

This six-month journey is a committed, relational container for women who feel called to heal the mother wound at a deeper, embodied level.

The Mother Ache™ names the layered impact of unmet maternal needs, early relational patterns, and inherited feminine wounds that often live on in the nervous system long after childhood. This journey is not about blaming our mothers or fixing the past. It is a gradual, compassionate process of learning to relate to ourselves differently — with greater honesty, inner support, and choice.

Over six months, we move slowly and intentionally through the landscape of the wounded daughter, exploring how early attachment experiences shape identity, self-trust, boundaries, emotional expression, and intimacy. The work is somatic, relational, and trauma-informed, honoring the body’s pace and the intelligence of the nervous system.

This is not a course to complete or a problem to solve. It is an initiatory process that unfolds through presence, reflection, embodied practice, and shared witnessing within a consistent group field. Together, we create the conditions for integration, repair, and the restoration of inner authority to emerge organically over time.

Healing the mother wound is a gradual, embodied process of learning to live with greater honesty, self-trust, and presence.

What’s Included in the Six-Month Journey

This six-month healing journey unfolds within a steady, relational rhythm designed to support depth, safety, and integration over time. Rather than moving quickly through material, we return again and again to embodied presence, allowing insight and repair to emerge gradually and organically.

Twice-Monthly Live Group Sessions (Zoom)

• Two 90-minute live sessions per month

• Each month focuses on a core chapter and archetypal theme from The Mother Ache™

• Sessions include teaching, somatic and reflective practices, and relational inquiry within the group field

• All sessions are trauma-informed, choice-based, and recorded for those unable to attend live

These gatherings form the heart of the journey, offering continuity, shared witnessing, and a consistent space to explore the wounded daughter with care and honesty.

Two Individual Integration Sessions

• Two 60-minute private sessions with me during the six-month journey

• Offered as focused integration support to tend what may need more personalized attention

• These sessions are not therapy, but relational, somatic support to help integrate insights, emotions, and nervous system responses as they arise

Private sessions are scheduled by mutual agreement and spaced in a way that supports integration rather than intensity.

Embodied & Reflective Practices

• Gentle somatic practices and inquiries to support nervous system regulation

• Reflective prompts to deepen self-awareness between sessions

• Simple, grounded practices you can bring into daily life

This work emphasizes lived integration, not homework or self-improvement.

A Closed, Consistent Group Container

• A small, committed group that remains together for the full six months

• This continuity supports trust, safety, and deeper relational repair

• You are never required to share, and choice is honored at all times

Recordings & Ongoing Access

• Recordings of all live sessions

• Space to revisit teachings and practices at your own pace

• Designed to support participants across time zones or changing life circumstances

Who This Journey Is For

This six-month journey is for women who sense that their relationship with their mother — whether close, distant, conflicted, loving, painful, or absent — has shaped their inner life in ways they are now ready to explore with care and honesty.

You may feel called to this work if:

• You carry deep pain, grief, or unresolved rupture in relation to your mother

• You feel emotionally close to your mother, yet notice patterns of overgiving, self-doubt, or blurred boundaries

• Your relationship with your mother is estranged, severed, or marked by absence, loss, or early separation

• You feel the quiet ache of something missing, even if your childhood looked “good enough” from the outside

• You want to explore ancestral and feminine lineage patterns, including what has been passed down through generations

• You are a mother yourself and wish to heal the daughter within, so you do not unconsciously pass pain forward

• You feel drawn to a somatic, relational, and trauma-informed approach rather than purely cognitive insight

This journey welcomes women across a wide spectrum of experience — from those carrying acute wounds to those sensing a subtler longing for repair, depth, and truth.

What matters is not the severity of your story, but your readiness to meet it with presence, curiosity, and care.

Who This Journey May Not Be For

This journey may not be the right fit if:

• You are seeking crisis support or immediate stabilization

• You are looking for a purely educational or intellectual course

• You want quick resolution or techniques to “fix” the past

• You are not currently able to engage in reflective, relational group work

This work unfolds slowly, through relationship, embodiment, and time. There is no “right” relationship with a mother that qualifies someone for this work.
There is only the truth of your lived experience — and your willingness to meet it gently.
