Three years ago, I went on a retreat to practice what I preach. On that retreat I connected with a part of me, which was really, really important. That part of me was my relationship with my grandmother.
I never knew my grandmother, she had her difficulties in her life. And I have always wanted to explore her life more, I left that retreat, and I was gifted some oracle cards. Since then I’ve just been working on connecting with my grandmother and healing some of the pain that comes down my mother’s side of the family. There’s a lot of pain, there’s a lot of restriction, there’s a lot of shame.
There’s a lot of women who just weren’t able to be who they wanted to be, we’re just restricted because of the rules around women. Not to go into the specifics too much but, on the back of that, after doing some deep, deep inner work I want to work with people on this to help them ‘heal’ their mother lines. Heal the trauma that has been handed down the female lineage. Because most of my clients, I would say about 80% of my clients have a mother who is either from addiction, alcoholic, has mental health difficulties, or is a narcissist. It’s not about blaming our mothers, but looking at what’s come down, that’s caused our mothers to be this way.
I am running an exciting program, we can go on this journey together for three months. It includes live calls, meditations, worksheets, we’re going do some deep exploring, inner work and therapy. It supports you holds the space for you to really explore this.
The details are below
My new book "The Mother Solution" is coming out soon.

In this video I describe the course I am doing and why I have pivoted my business from retreats (I am still doing the retreats by the way) to serve this community of people who are struggling with behaviours thoughts and feelings and can't understand why. The answer is often in our upbringing and our genetics when we are stuck and that requires a different approach to standard therapy. We need to explore and 'Heal our mother line'. There is a new type of woman coming through, we are no longer restricted by the 'rules' of the paternal and masculine but we are still influenced by it in so many ways. This programme is about freeing ourselves from that so we can be who we truly are.
Don't worry about it saying age restricted on the video, my fault for putting the wrong settings on it which I can't change now. Doh. :(
