Motherhood drew me deeper into my own story than I ever expected. I carried both love and ache, and I found myself longing for healing that reached beyond surface solutions. That longing led me into years of formation through many years of education including a fellowship under Dan Allender, graduate training in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and deep study in trauma and attachment.

Yet, it wasn’t only through classrooms and supervision that I learned. Much of my understanding has come through the raw, lived reality of mothering my own children. I have spent countless hours researching motherhood, not only for my own healing but also to guide other mothers who find themselves overwhelmed, weary, or repeating patterns they never meant to pass on.

Every mother longs to give her children love that feels safe and lasting. Yet many of us carry stories that make this difficult. We may have learned to hide our needs, to work for love, or to protect ourselves from being hurt. These patterns do not disappear when we become mothers. They rise again in moments of overwhelm, in distance with our children or partners, and in the loneliness of trying to hold everything together.

Redemptive Motherhood was created to be a place where these stories can be named and honored. It is rooted in attachment, because we were created to be safe, seen, and loved. Redemptive Motherhood is guided by story, because the experiences that shaped us still live in our bodies and influence how we mother. Redemptive Motherhood is grounded in community, because healing takes hold when we are seen and no longer alone.

My hope is that Redemptive Motherhood will be more than a place for resources or practices. I want it to be a refuge where mothers can slow down, listen to their stories, and tend to what their bodies have carried. Here you will find rhythms of rest, practices for grounding, and language for the ache you may not have known how to name.

The vision is that as mothers engage their own healing, they begin to experience greater compassion for themselves and deeper connection with those they love. This is the redemptive work of motherhood: remembering our wholeness and offering secure love to the next generation.
