parent mentoring services:
meeting you where you are: introductory coaching sessions
In this series of meetings on zoom, we work one-to-one to articulate the struggle that you are addressing in your family line (or in your household). We then locate them within the Landscape of Mothers framework so that we can see where solutions might lie.
Your location on the Landscape of Mothers map affords a view of the problem, possibilities for solutions, as well as a way to think about your family as an ecosystem. We begin by getting familiar with the restorative nature of Sun and Moon Mother. I will offer exercises and tasks for you to do between sessions to clarify and anchor the work you're doing. |
In our sessions we will:
At the end of the series you will have better clarity on what is happening in your family line that you want to change and how to find what's missing in it. You will also leave this series with a full understanding of how to work with Landscape of Mothers archetypes so that you have support for this healing, even if your family isn't on board. You will have resources and tools for continuing to build relationships with the archetypes and further exploring and refining what kind of parent you want to be.
- begin with Sun and Moon Mother to notice the cycles and rhythms you are currently operating in
- name the struggle in your family line so that we can see what's missing in that painful pattern; often it's something like respect, autonomy, regulation, attunement, or emotional or physical availability.
- choose an approach to provide the missing ingredient in the family dynamic, which includes choosing a Mother (or a few) to work with to provide focus for your exploration
- explore the strengths and struggles of the Mother(s) you choose
- locate other Mothers who can balance and restore the landscape you are struggling in
- create a list of resources and tools for you to engage the mothers and begin to make changes to your lineage legacy

landscape of mothers as a wheel
This is a 10-session series in which we traverse the entire Landscape of Mothers ecosystem. We take one Mother at a time and explore what she stands for, her skills and tools, and what parts of her realm are awake in your life and exploration at the moment.
You will also get access to audio guided meditations for further exploration of each of the landscapes so that you can deepen your relationship and understanding of the Mothers. Deepening work may also be invited through journal prompts or small workbooks. The Mothers support us on the road to becoming the parent who has a kind, connected, and caring relationship that lasts, with their children. |
The Mothers we visit are:
- Sun and Moon Mother to establish our nourishing and supportive ritual and cadence
- Wind Mother to dream into the possibility of what we want
- Desert Mother to explore our boundaries and ways to express them in ways that are kind to ourselves and others
- Island Mother to identify what is ours to do
- Mountain Mother to cultivate presence and stability within ourselves
- River Mother to move plan to action with our values at the center
- Forest Mother to cultivate our relationships with one another
- Ocean Mother to allow time to integrate, as well as find ourselves connected to that which is bigger than us

landscape of mothers nature retreat
This is a one day intensive, either in person or on zoom. We immerse ourselves in nature together, and explore how nature can provide reflection and guidance.
I create an altar to hold the energy of our time together. We will work together to develop an inquiry for you to take into nature. I'll guide you through interpreting your experience and I'll show you a method for anchoring this guidance into your everyday life. We will also have a follow up integration call approximately two weeks after your retreat to continue to pull the threads of what you learned from nature into your lived experience. |
Approximate schedule for the day depending on time zone differences:
Meet mid morning
Reconnect early afternoon
- One hour for logistics, grounding into the intention, and creating an inquiry
Reconnect early afternoon
- I provide lunch and you tell me your experience in nature
