The Dark Mother: The Shadow Side of Motherhood
A 6-week somatic journey + virtual circle for mothers
to awaken embodied wisdom and reclaim what was exiled to survive.
An Invitation
Motherhood awakens more than love.
It awakens emotions and parts of ourselves that were never given language or support.
The Dark Mother is a six-week somatic journey for mothers who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, guilty, disconnected, or quietly holding more than they can name — and who know there is nothing wrong with them.
This space exists to make the shadow of motherhood safe to meet.
What This Is
A virtual, live, small-group journey rooted in somatic embodiment and nervous system wisdom.
This is not about fixing yourself or becoming a better mother.
It is about understanding what your body has been holding,
awakening embodied wisdom, and integrating the parts of yourself that were exiled in order to survive motherhood.
What We’ll Explore
The “good mother” narrative and how it shapes self-judgment
Emotional load, overwhelm, and the nervous system
Shame, guilt, rage, grief, and identity loss
Boundaries, truth-telling, and self-trust
Integration, compassion, and wholeness
All practices are gentle, trauma-informed, and designed for real life.
The Container
6 weeks of live virtual gatherings
Somatic teachings and embodied practices
A held circle of mothers walking this terrain together
Space for reflection, witnessing, and integration
You are never required to share more than feels safe.
Why This Space Exists
I created this offering because I wish I had it.
Motherhood cracked me open in ways no practice ever had.
This space is for mothers who know they are not broken — only unsupported in naming what this initiation truly asks of us.
You Are Welcome Here
There is nothing to fix.
Nothing to perform.
Only an invitation to meet yourself more fully — in community, with care, and with your whole body included.
