Healing the Mother Line and Generational Trauma retreat Our relationship with our mothers is one of the most profound connections we experience. It shapes how we perceive our bodies, our capabilities, and our place in the world. The mother wound, an inherited pain passed down through generations, is a key part of this dynamic. Healing the mother wound isn't about fixing our mothers; it's about embracing ourselves and our unique gifts without shame.
Welcome to Healing the Mother Line Retreat
The mother wound originates from a disconnect where a mother, due to her own unresolved issues, unmet needs, or narcissistic tendencies, fails to meet her child’s emotional needs. The child’s life then revolves around fulfilling their mother’s expectations. The wound can also come about as a result of an absent mother, or mother struggling with mental health issues or addictions.
This disconnect with the child–daughter relationship can impact many aspects of our lives:
Our self–image and body confidence.
Our relationships and friendships with other women.
Our fears of being seen or judged.
Our tendencies towards codependency or enmeshment.
Our ability to trust others and life itself.
Our experiences of abandonment or attachment.
Our beliefs about money and abundance.
Our capacity for healthy, loving romantic relationships.
THE POWER OF COLLECTIVE HEALING
Healing the mother line is a transformative journey, where acknowledging and gaining acceptance may allow us to see our mothers as human and fallible. This process enables you to rewrite old thought patterns, build self-trust, recognize your worth, and shine brightly.
When we come together to share our experiences, it becomes clear that our struggles are not unique. This shared understanding helps to take away layers of shame or guilt and brings a powerful community healing environment.
We provide a safe, sacred space throughout our time together on the retreat, for you to heal your mother line and move from overwhelm to peace of mind.

Meet Vanessa
After years of active and chronic addiction I came into recovery in 2001 to be confronted with a whole heap of self esteem work I needed to do.
I was terrified of judgement and was a chronic people pleaser.
I had no boundaries in my life with others or with myself.
There were abandonment issues from my childhood which I needed to work through.
My life was limited as a result and I felt frustrated at my inability to find authentic meaning in my life.
Following a life transition into running my own business in 2017 (the business of my dreams) I ventured onto a spiritual path which took me to Australia to a retreat last year.
There I connected with some of my lineage. I had always been curious about my grandmother who was an alcoholic. Was that where I got it from?
My journey since then has involved a deeper level of healing and discovery and I am so excited to share this with others to help them 'Heal their mother line' and release what has been passed down to us in dysfunction and mental struggles due to the restrictions that have been placed on women for so many years.
Meet Tania
For years, fear, insecurity, and disconnection have consumed my life. These emotions trapped me in a continuous battle with self-doubt, convinced that I was never truly deserving. Consequently, I found myself constantly seeking external validation, desperately trying to prove my worth. This pursuit only led me to attract toxic relationships, perpetuating a cycle of unhappiness. All of these struggles have their origins deeply embedded in the wounds of generational trauma.
All of that transformed when I fully embraced my personal healing journey with my ancestors. Today, I proudly stand as the leading lady in my own life. I have finally unlocked the ability to love myself unconditionally and become my own source of validation. With newfound courage, I fearlessly pursue my dreams and embrace risks. The shadow of failure and judgment no longer haunts me. I have learned to trust my intuition, seeking guidance within myself as my truest confidant. Finally, I am thriving in a life I wholeheartedly adore.
I am here to support those of you who are treading the same path as mine, in breaking free from the burdens of generational trauma that have shaped your experiences. Together, we can pave the way for your personal growth and empowerment to help you shine brightly in your own life.
