About this Event

Mother//Self: Meaningful Self-Care
An MFT Nervous System Recalibration for Modern Mothers

It’s Maternal Mental Health Month and Mother’s Day is around the corner.  And we don’t want flowers and brunch, we want to feel like ourselves again.  

Modern motherhood keeps us on alert and on edge: we’re anticipating needs, managing big feelings and unhinged behaviors, carrying invisible labor. Over time, that constant activation becomes your “normal.”   You don’t just feel overwhelmed sometimes; you start living a little wired.

And, what’s more, how we think about “self-care” isn’t fundamentally changing anything for us.

In this 90-minute live masterclass, we’ll explore:

  • How motherhood shifts your nervous system baseline
  • The difference between coping and building capacity and flexibility so you’re “okay” even when the kids are screaming and hitting each other
  • Why rest alone doesn’t restore you
  • How to expand your ability to hold stress without losing yourself

Through grounded psychoeducation, honest discussion, and powerful embodied practices, you’ll experience what recalibration actually feels like, not shutting down, not pushing through, but returning to a steadier internal center.

We’re not aiming for controlling your emotions, feeling regulated or calm all the time - that isn’t real life. We’re interested in increasing your capacity to feel, lead, relate, and live from a place that feels like you.

You’ll leave with:

  • A clear understanding of your current baseline
  • Practical practices that build nervous system capacity
  • A signature MFT embodiment ritual you can return to anytime
  • A new lens on self-care that actually fits this season of life

Because meaningful self-care isn’t indulgent or selfish -  It’s an essential foundation for your life, and you deserve to know how to actually access this.

And when your system is steady,  you can come home to yourself again.
