"The weight it lifted each week to give time to such an important part of myself and my experience as a woman, was vastly transformative."
To not be witnessed within a transformation is a great loss. When we hold what is changing with acknowledgment, tenderness, and love we embrace infinite possibilities and honor the essential rhythms of contraction and expansion inherent in our human design.
Hear from real mothers about MotherWell....
"I cannot express how meaningful it was to me to participate in the motherwell course that Louise offers. Not only did I have the space to slow down and share my experiences with others, I had the chance to listen to the beautiful and varied experiences of other mothers and build lasting bonds. Through this course, I learned so much about my own journey of motherhood and had the opportunity to reframe and process much of what was weighing on me, consciously or unconsciously. The weight it lifted each week to give time to such an important part of myself and my experience as a woman, was vastly transformative. I felt in community, loved, and supported. Being the mother of a toddler I initially thought that I was "too late" to join. I quickly realized there is no too late. This can apply to anyone at any point in their mothering journey. The mix of course material and guided meditations along with raw conversations is such a well rounded and healing experience. I highly recommend any mother take this course. It may be an opportunity to show up for yourself in ways you haven't had the chance to before. Wonderful, amazing, transformative."
