summer of self love
A month of self-connection, gentle exploration, and support for mothers
You promise you’ll make time for you
But you never find the time.
You love being a mother.
But still feel lost and disconnected from yourself.
after 1, 2, 3+ years of motherhood, more space is opening up for you
But you find you don’t know how you want to use it, or what you like to do.
You bring compassion and kindness into your parenting
But don’t always find it easy to remember to do that for yourself.
You know you want to do nice things for yourself, and get to know yourself more
But it can feel like another thing on the to-do list, and you don’t really know what you need or where to start.
“I didn’t even know how much I needed this before I did it - it gave me that extra push and permission to take space for me”

There is no perfect time, so why not jump in to more than just the pool this summer?
A space where you feel part of something. It’s not cliquey, it’s not complex, it’s just real.
Real mothers, just like you who are also looking to reconnect with themselves and discover who they are in this era of life.
Real mothers who honestly, just want someone else to tell them what to do to bring a bit of kindness into their life - because it’s one less thing they need to think about.
Real mothers who are also in the trenches of go, go, go and do, do, do but want to find some space within that, in a way that is manageable and realistic to weave into their everyday.
Real mothers living with the pressures of trying to pursue businesses or personal wellbeing alongside being available and present for their kids - and know that another framework, 60-day plan, or masterclass is not going to create any sustainable change in their life.
Real mothers who are showing up without family nearby, and making it work - but really desire some community and connection with other mothers who feel just like them.
“The amount of effort I put in was up to me… and honestly, it made me want to participate more. I honestly had so many aha moments.”

Allison’s experience
I didn't realise how much I needed it and also how simple it could be to do it. At first when I saw your little ad for it, I thought it was going to be… like work, even though you said it wasn't. Or it was going to be this thing… I would feel bad for not being able to be in it. So I really, really appreciated how it was truly just an invitation every day.
The Compassionate Touch…has been a game changer for me. And I've noticed it's helped me pause when I start to feel the heat rise…It's helped me come back to me first, especially in those times we need a little reminder that, yeah, it's okay to feel overwhelmed. It's okay to feel frustration. These are very normal things. It will pass.
What would I say to a mother who's on the fence? If you can, oh gosh, I just want to be like, please do this. It's important to learn how to be kind to yourself and you deserve to learn and learn and learn that again. I think really any mother could benefit from this. I hope you touch thousands more mother's hearts in this lifetime.

What loving yourself look like?
You wake up feeling like there’s possibility for joy in your day. Excited for what you might discover about yourself.
You start making choices with you in mind - choosing meals you want to eat, not only what is going to serve everyone else. You realise your needs (and desires!) are allowed too.
You find that there is naturally more space to step back from the smoothie spilt all over the floor and see the humour in it rather than instant frustration.
You’re happy to spend more time sitting with decisions because you trust yourself more and don’t feel rushed to decide for others.
You have energy and desire to do things just for you - whether it’s exploring your personal style. creating, reading in bed, or having a pyjama dance to your favourite music.
You stop interrogating anything anyone says to you, and anything you say to others. The rumination and overthinking slip away.
…the space where mothers learn to love themselves again.
This is truly not another thing on your to-do list.
Moving at your own pace is the first invitation. You cannot fall behind here.
This is a space designed by mothers for mothers.
The invitations to get curious and explore may be small and simple, but they are also profoundly impactful.
4 weeks, 4 invitations, 4 opportunities to feel like Alice: “In my crazy day…somehow I found space and the space was within me”
from charlotte
When I became a mother I thought I had my wellbeing sussed. I had tools like journalling, meditation, and confiding in friends who ‘got’ me. But somewhere between month 1 and month 12 of motherhood those tools slipped away.
What replaced them was resentment, irritability, and disconnection. I tried to return to the things that had helped me prior to motherhood, but it wasn’t the same - I wasn’t the same.
My capacity was lower, my ability to find space in my day for the things I used to do just didn’t feel manageable anymore.
What I have discovered since that 12-month mark is that every moment of discomfort and dis-ease comes back to me and my relationship to myself. And the more I love myself, the more I make choices that support me - and in turn support my capacity to parent, and connect with my broader life.
The way I focus on self-love is by integrating small manageable moments of embodiment and self connection through the day.
That is what I want to share with you. In a space where accessibility, simplicity, and permission are at the heart. Because I don’t believe we have to stop taking care of ourselves, or stop connecting with ourselves just because we are mothers.
In fact, I think we need connection and care more than ever in motherhood. If you feel that too, I hope you’ll join us, and discover just what is possible for you.
