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 carrying 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 live, virtual, group journey rooted in somatic embodiment and nervous system wisdom. This is not about fixing yourself or becoming a better mother. It’s 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

Through a somatic lens of nervous system regulation, archetypal wisdom, and embodiment practices

  • How the nervous system responds to the demands of motherhood

  • The “good mother” narrative and how internalized expectations shape self-judgment and stress responses

  • Shadow emotions (shame, guilt, rage, grief) as adaptive responses held in the body, not personal failures

  • Archetypal patterns in motherhood and how they influence identity, boundaries, and behavior

  • Practices for self-regulation, integration, and restoring a sense of wholeness

Guidance is gentle, trauma-informed, and designed to support real, lived motherhood.
