Become the Mother You Want to Be

Parenting a hypersensitive, high-needs (Autistic, PDA, ADHD, OCD, ODD) child can leave you feeling reactive, exhausted, and like you’re constantly failing.

My role as your coach is to help you heal what’s getting triggered inside of you so you can show up with more calm, presence, and resilience — no matter how hard things get.

The Work We Do Together

When you coach with me, the main work we are doing is to de-program and de-condition all the survival patterns we have learned in our lives that are focused on staying safe, loveable, belonging and successful.  These patterns get exacerbated with our kids and leave our nervous systems in chronic survival mode and depletion mode.

In our work together, we focus on three main areas of healing and growth:

1. Learning to Regulate the Nervous System
   
• Build awareness of your body and track what happens when you feel unsafe so you can identify and interrupt these body based survival patterns.
  
• Learn somatic (body-based) and mind-based practices to help your body feel safer, especially in the face of daily challenges so you can calm and regulate yourself as well as help your body to release cumulative stress.
  
• Develop tools for ongoing nervous system regulation and resilience so you can predictably know what to do to help yourself feel regulated and safe with your ongoing challenges.
  
  
2. Trauma Reprocessing Work
   
• Identify how present-day triggers connect back to past unresolved traumatic experiences.
  
• Process and release these imprints so they no longer overwhelm your system in the present.
  
• Restore more choice and flexibility in how you respond to your child.
  
  
3. De-Programming and Re-Wiring Beliefs
   
• Gently uncover old beliefs and survival patterns that keep you stuck (like “I’m failing as a mother” or “I should have more control of my child”).
  
• Use mind-body-based methods to create new felt-sense experiences aligned with self-compassion, unconditional love, and trust.
  
• Wire in these new beliefs and emotional states so they become embodied and lasting.
  
  

Modalities We Draw On

I integrate multiple, evidence-based, body-mind approaches to create lasting transformation:

• Somatic Experiencing® (Dr. Peter Levine): A body-based trauma healing method that gently releases stored survival stress, regulates your nervous system, and brings back your aliveness.
  
• Polyvagal Theory in Therapy (Deb Dana): Helps you understand and reshape your nervous system states of fight, flight, freeze, and shutdown.
  
• Internal Family Systems (Dr. Richard Schwartz): A parts-work approach that helps you experience who you truly are (Self) and helps you heal both your protective and wounded/traumatized parts with compassion. 
• Havening Techniques® (Dr. Ruden Brothers): A psychosensory method using touch to de-link painful memories and wire in new beliefs and felt states.
  
• Integral Somatic Psychology (Dr. Raja Selvam): Deepens your capacity to feel and process emotions throughout the body.
  
• NeuroAffective Touch® (Dr. Aline LaPierre): Supports mind-body healing by working with early attachment patterns stored in the body.
• Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or “Tapping”: A mind-body approach that supports feeling safe and calms the stress response in the face of troubling thoughts and emotions.
  

It’s important to note that what we do is not “talk therapy”.  We use both mind and body based techniques to help re-pattern nervous system survival patterns at both levels for lasting change.

What a Session Looks Like

When we first begin working together, sessions focus on teaching you about the nervous system and helping you learn tools to regulate your body in daily life. We start by practicing simple somatic tools that calm your system when things feel triggering, so you build a foundation of awareness of state, how to build in safety in a predictable way, and capacity in your system to do the deeper work of trauma reprocessing.

Once you have that foundation, we begin to go deeper. At that point, a typical session may involve identifying a trigger you’d like to focus on that day. Together, we use a blend of somatic regulating practices and trauma reprocessing modalities to gently heal what’s getting activated.

Each session closes with integration: understanding the new awareness that emerged and co-creating simple practices you can carry into your week, so you begin to embody these changes in daily life.

How Long Does It Take?

This work isn’t a quick fix — it takes time.

Most mothers come to me already on the edge of burnout — or deep in it. They’re carrying chronic survival-based reaction patterns, exhaustion from constantly co-regulating their child, and in some cases, chronic health issues that add to the stress load.

That’s why I offer coaching as a minimum three-month program.

In those first three months, you’ll:

• Learn the essential tools to regulate your nervous system.
  
• Begin trauma reprocessing work.
  
• Start to see meaningful changes in how you feel and how you respond to your child.
  

Many mothers continue beyond the initial three months, because deeper nervous system healing and re-patterning takes longer. But three months is where we lay the foundation for lasting change.

Tools to Support You Between Sessions

When you sign up for 1-on-1 coaching, you’ll also receive access to my private Kajabi Coaching Platform, which includes:

• Teaching videos on core tools and nervous system practices so you can easily implement them in your daily life.
  
• Infographics on tracking Nervous System States, Regulating Tools and Stress Release Tools so you can print and refer to them daily to help you integrate the work daily.
• Personal Resiliency Map that helps you know where you are now, where you are going and holds your weekly exercises to focus on.
• Other resources/maps that help you refer back to work we did in session on mapping your nervous system states, triggers, regulating resources.
• Unlimited email access to me for any questions or challenges in implementing the work weekly.
