Healing from religious or spiritual trauma
Finding a path in deconstruction
Reclaiming your spirituality on your terms
Guilt, shame, and rear in faith-based upbringings
Navigating spiritual beliefs as a parent
-
Reclaiming your sexuality
Purity culture recovery
Body image & sensuality in motherhood
Deconstructing sexual shame
Intimacy After Kids
Consent, voice, and agency
My clients struggle just like you. Despite being resilient, hard working and thoughtful, mom life is hard.
When they first come in, they feel overwhelmed and unsure. They feel lonely & disconnected, while also overstimulated and touched out. They no longer have a sense of who they are or what they want.
They ask questions like:
-Where is my sex drive?
-How do I raise my kids spiritually?
-When will my childhood stuff let up?
-How do I parent differently?
-Can I ever like my body?
Rediscover your energy, confidence & joy
They have a range of emotions; anger, sadness, resentment, confusion, regret. They don’t feel like themselves anymore and have no time to themselves since motherhood.
They whisper towards me:
-Part of me regrets having kids
-I have no desire for sex
-I’m having bad childhood memories
-I don’t know how stop the anxiety
-My partner doesn’t get it
This can be different for you.
Let’s find your confidence and joy again.
I’d love to connect.
