Healing the Inner Child: Rebuilding Self-Esteem Through the Mother Wound

When was the last time you truly nurtured your inner child? How do you show yourself love, and how do you receive it?

Imagine stepping into a warm, inviting space where you’re welcomed with a soothing cup of cacao, the scent of calming herbs filling the air, wrapping you in a sense of safety and belonging.

Our relationship with our mother deeply shapes our self-esteem, influencing how we see ourselves and how we relate to others—our partners, children, friends, and even our own mother. When our self-esteem is wounded in childhood, it doesn’t disappear; it simply retreats, hidden beneath layers of doubt, fear, and insecurity.

This workshop will guide you in understanding how your early experiences, particularly with your mother, have shaped your self-worth. By acknowledging these patterns and beginning to re-mother the child within, you can reclaim your power, nurture your inner peace, and restore a sense of wholeness. Through reflection and healing practices, we will awaken the self-esteem that has always been within you, waiting to be embraced.
