Be more emotionally regulated in motherhood.
(yes it’s possible!)
Therapy + Membership for mothers who feel invisible and long to regulate + rediscover their authentic identity.
Having next-to-no chill in motherhood sucks. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being zero chill and 10 being so very chill, how chill do you feel right now? And how would the 5 a.m. wake-ups and bedtime routine be different if you were more regulated?
Stop Being So Hard on Yourself
Transform the dysregulation, burnout and guilt you feel (I’ve been there, and it’s okay to admit it) and find your chill with art as therapy. You don't have to be so hard on yourself as a mother. I want you to know that what you're doing is enough, and I can help you regulate even more with my evidence-based therapy and membership.
➤ Feel more regulated (yes, even in the impossible moments) and have more capacity
➤ Do things differently than how you were raised
➤ Stop beating yourself up for mistakes you've made
➤ Finally, get the guilt-free alone time you think about but never do!
Art as Therapy will help you feel more visible, uncover what it means to self and co-regulate while rediscovering your authentic (brave, playful, audacious, unapologetic) identity.
I'll make it easier and less time-consuming than traditional talk therapy.

Here's a secret to being a chill mom that you need to know.
Are you a mom who wants to be chill in motherhood and for everyone else to understand and validate how challenging this is (and to keep their unsolicited outdated comments to themselves)?
Every mom I’ve worked with wants to feel worthy and regulated in motherhood. Yet, they are all dealing with imposter syndrome, decision fatigue and silent arguments with partners who don’t know how to help, making it impossible to catch up on everything that needs doing. It doesn’t have to be this way!
Motherhood was easier in theory before you actually had to parent.
Did you imagine enjoying your coffee, the morning snuggles, sweet bedtime moments, and having fun and playing. I know I did.
Bet you didn't imagine the constant pressure, not enjoying it and having zero chill (low frustration tolerance, overthinking, guilt, and doubt).
As a therapist and a neurodivergent mom, I've had many moments of being emotionally dysregulated and stuck in my head.
Keeping yourself and the tiny humans regulated is arduous and challenging. I have worked with hundreds of mothers like you who stay up too late, promising themselves they will be more regulated tomorrow. They desperately want to feel chill, and nothing is working.
I will teach you my simple-to-follow create, cope and chill method to help you find your chill, be vibrant and feel alive (again).

Emotional regulation starts here
It is proven that when mom is regulated, she has less guilt and more capacity and resilience in tough moments. When regulated, she doesn't resent bedtime, her mind is calmer, and she knows who she is what she needs.
