In a world of growing complexity, technology and isolation, mothers of boys are feeling rudderless without practical wisdom to guide us through these times.
We work so hard, love so deeply, and give to the point of depletion, yet feel like it’s still not enough to prepare and protect our sons.
We ask ourselves questions like…
🌿 How can I care for my own body and mind so I have the stamina and presence to stay connected with my son and mother well?
🌿 How do I manage the intense physical and emotional changes my son is going through in puberty, nourish his body and mind, and help him express healthy masculinity?
🌿 How do I navigate these challenges when I already feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and lack The Village?
If you’re like so many mothers, you may worry about your sons becoming isolated, angry, violent, excluded, or preyed upon. You may struggle to maintain the routines you and your sons need to be healthy. You may feel overwhelmed and exhausted just trying to keep up and find yourself numbing out at the end of the day.
We are living in a world of disconnection.
Disconnection from our bodies
Disconnection from nature's rhythms
Disconnection from each other
When we live in a world of disconnect, we’ll be guided by external influence rather than our own internal guidance system. We’ll live in our minds and our screens rather than our bodies. We’ll fuel our lives from stress energy rather than Source energy. We will forget our ancestral wisdom. We will lose each other.Â
And we will raise sons who are disconnected too.Â
Mothering from disconnection leaves us feeling overwhelmed, stressed, full of self-doubt.
The stress directly impacts our hormones and emotional health. We struggle to set boundaries or routines without feeling depleted. We feel the pressure of societal expectations and influences around masculinity and parenting. We feel confused and overwhelmed by conflicting information about how to mother boys well.
There are so many “answers” coming at us from psychologists, parenting experts, doctors and holistic practitioners. These approaches are usually focused just on the child and parenting from our intellect - just one more thing to add to our “To-Do List” of learning.Â
What’s missing is a parenting wisdom anchored in something deeper and more innate - a body-based wisdom that doesn’t require you to continually look outside yourself for answers.Â
In a complex world we need to simplify.
With the ancestral, body-based wisdom of Ayurveda and Somatic Experiencing, we learn a simple system for understanding our body and life. Through this we build our vitality and regulate our nervous system. We reclaim a deep cellular memory of how to nourish and support life that guides us in our mothering.
In a disconnected world, we also need community.
The female nervous system needs safe relationships to be healthy. ITo decrease our stress we need a Village of other boy moms to hear us, hold us and help us navigate our challenges and celebrate our triumphs. When we’re less stressed, we can tune into rhythm and Source. That lets us access and anchor into a deeper intuitive knowing that goes far beyond any parenting book.Â
"This morning I cleaned out my family's medicine drawer and found 10 different medications and prescriptions that we no longer need to use. It's amazing that [after incorporating these practices for a year] my son no longer needs medicine for migraines, I don’t need to take the amoxicillin, iron supplements, estrogen or allergy pills, and my other son no longer needs the vomiting medicine. My eczema and allergies are gone, and I feel great. Sometimes I feel regret because I wish I had known about your course sooner."

Hi, I’m Courtney, and I believe mothers have the power to create the world we want to live in.
Our liberation comes through our bodies. We can remember on a deeply cellular level how to nourish life and foster our web of interdependence. Our modern world has disconnected from this wisdom, but we can reclaim it.
My first big wake-up call happened in my late 20s when I was sidelined by extreme chronic fatigue. Through it, I discovered Ayurveda. It gave me answers and practices to support my own vitality and healing, and a practical way to nourish and nurture my future family.
In 2013 my first son, Sam was born, and two years later, my son Archie. Like so many moms, I flourished…and I struggled. I felt like my boys’ needs and my own were at odds. I was willing to sacrifice, but feared losing myself in the ways so many women before me had.
I worried. Oh, how I worried! About my boys’ sleep, about their diet, about their emotions and socialization. And I worried about my and my husband’s responses to them when we weren’t at our best and most regulated.Â
At the height of the pandemic, I started working with Somatic Experiencing and the nervous system, and it took my practice and my mothering to a whole new level. I saw in real time how my nervous system states have a direct impact on my family and the rhythm of our lives.
I supported my own nervous system and saw my boys’ behavior improve and our family become more in tune and cohesive.
Although I always knew it subconsciously, I now understood in a practical way both the responsibility and power I have to nurture my sons’ highest potential.
One of my most important lessons in all of this is my need to be in community with other women on this evolutionary path.
Women have healthier nervous systems when we’re in safe relationship with others. We’re wired for bonding. It’s not just a want, it's a biological imperative.
We need each other so we can mother our boys well. I’m glad you’re here, and I hope you’ll stay.
Much love,Â
CourtneyÂ

If you’re looking for a traditional "parenting" workshop where we only focus on the kids, child psychology and motherhood hacks (that just add more to your plate), this might not be for you.
If you want to learn how to nurture yourself and your sons in the way they most need it - though attending to your own nervous system and theirs - I really hope you’ll join me.
