MOTHER WOUND COUNSELING
Individuals • Families • Couples • Parents • Mother-Child
The most impactful relationship of your entire life is the relationship you have with your mother.
The gap between what you needed from your mom and what you actually got from her is your mother wound.
Left unaddressed, the mother wound negatively impacts your mental health, relationships, parenting and so much more.

HOW TO WORK WITH ME
WHY YOUR MOTHER WOUND MATTERS
Your mother wound sits at the core of who you are. Yes, it's about your relationship with your mom, but it's about so much more than that too.
Your relationship with your mom is the single most formative relationship you'll ever have. From how you feel about yourself to how you show up in your relationships, it effects everything.
Not healing your mother wound comes at a huge cost. The pain you've inherited from your mom negatively impacts every aspect of your life including but not limited to your:
-
Mental health
-
Self-worth
-
Body-image
-
Relationships
-
Sex life
-
Parenting
Healing the mother wound is so transformative because it allows you to heal from the inside out!
