The Heart Behind MOMents

The Heart Behind MOMents: Why I Started This Journey

Ever since I can remember, all I ever wanted to be was a mother.

If someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was always simple, a mother. I carried my dolls everywhere, nurturing them, caring for them, and dreaming of the day I would have children of my own.

But while my love for motherhood was always strong, my childhood was shaped by reactive parenting. I spent years struggling to manage my emotions, regulate my nervous system, and heal from the cycles I had inherited.

When I finally became a mother, I knew one thing for sure:

I wanted to do things differently.

I wanted my children to grow up feeling safe in their emotions.

I wanted to parent from a place of connection, not control.

I wanted them to experience a mother who was regulated, present, and intentional.

 

The Moment Everything Changed

That journey led me into birth work—supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum. I believed that empowered births set the foundation for empowered motherhood.

But then, I experienced an extremely traumatic birth with my son.

Everything I had planned for, everything I believed about birth and motherhood—it all shifted. I was left navigating the deep emotional and physical toll of trauma, all while caring for a fragile newborn.

I poured myself into healing,not just for me, but for other mothers. I realized that the nervous system plays a crucial role in how we experience birth, motherhood, and life itself.

That’s when I discovered Somatics-and everything changed.

Through my own healing, I saw firsthand how nervous system regulation transformed the way I showed up as a mother. I no longer felt trapped in my triggers. I learned how to pause, how to regulate, how to respond instead of react.

I became a Somatic Mind-Body Practitioner and shifted my work toward helping moms find calm, connection, and regulation in their daily lives. Because when we heal, we change the way we parent.

Why Nervous System Regulation Matters in Motherhood

Motherhood is overwhelming-not because we’re doing it wrong, but because our nervous systems were never taught how to handle it.

When we’re overstimulated, exhausted, or stuck in survival mode, it’s nearly impossible to parent the way we want to. That’s why nervous system awareness is a game-changer.

Instead of snapping when our child melts down…

We can pause.

We can regulate.

We can respond with intention, not just reaction.

Because children don’t just learn emotional regulation from being told what to do.

They learn it from watching us.
