Mothers’ Therapeutic Circle for Overwhelm & Self Care

A 12 week in person therapeutic support circle for mothers of young children - For the ones doing it all - and ready to feel more whole again. Held in Nelson, BC

You love your children more than words - and yet, part of you is overwhelmed. 

Stretched thin. Tired in a way that sleep doesn’t always fix.

Motherhood is beautiful, yes.

 And it can also be demanding, isolating, and often invisible. 

You’re holding so much, all the time - physically, emotionally, mentally. 

And somewhere in the constant giving… it's easy to find yourself feeling

overwhelmed and disconnected from yourself.

It’s time to reconnect with the part of you that’s been quietly waiting.

You don’t need to push through. You don’t need to figure it out alone. 

And you’re not a bad mom for feeling this way.

This circle is a space to exhale. To feel seen. To come back to yourself.

A 12 week, in person group in Nelson, BC for mothers ready to

ease anxiety, soften overwhelm, and come home to themselves -

in connection with others who truly understand.

Mothers’ Therapeutic Circle for Overwhelm & Self Care

What this is

This is not a parenting class. This is nervous system and soul care for you,

the mother behind the role.

Each week, we gather in a supportive, nurturing circle to:

Calm your anxious mind and body with simple, somatic practices
Talk honestly about the hidden stressors of motherhood & Life
Tend to the part of you that’s burnt out, anxious, or running on empty
Learn tools for grounding, boundary setting, and emotional regulation
Feel supported by other mothers - no masks, no pressure
Reclaim your identity beyond motherhood, with love

This is a space where meltdowns, messiness, and tender truths are welcome. Come exactly as you are - even if you’re still figuring out who that is.
