Welcome to HEALING THE MOTHERLINE RETREAT RECLAIM YOUR POWER
The wound may not have started with you—but the healing can.
Your relationship with your mother is one of the first and most formative connections you ever experienced. It shaped how you see yourself. How safe you feel in your body. How you move through relationships, navigate the world, and define your worth.
But what happens when that connection was strained, broken, or never truly formed?
What happens when your sense of safety, validation, and love was conditional, withheld, or simply not available?
What happens is what you're likely still feeling today:
• The fear of being judged, even when you're doing your best
• Chronic people pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
• A sense of shame that runs deeper than words
• Complicated, painful relationships with other women — and with yourself
• A pattern of attracting emotionally unavailable or narcissistic partners
• Feeling responsible for everyone else's needs but disconnected from your own
• Struggling to feel worthy, visible, or "enough"
If any of this resonates, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.
There’s a name for this.
It’s the motherline wound.
And you have the power to heal it.
This Is Not About Blame. It’s About Liberation.
Healing doesn’t ask us to reject our mothers. It invites us to reclaim ourselves.
The motherline wound is often rooted in emotional abandonment, unmet needs, or generational patterns of silence, control, or enmeshment. It may show up because of a narcissistic parent, an absent one, or one who—through no fault of their own—was simply not able to meet you emotionally.
This retreat is a sanctuary where you can:
• Acknowledge the pain without shame
• Stop carrying what was never yours to hold
• Rewrite the inherited stories that have shaped your life
• Reconnect with your own voice, body, and truth
• Come home to yourself—on your own terms
This is about you stepping into the woman or man you were always meant to be.
Unapologetically. Unconditionally. Powerfully.
THE HEALING THE MOTHERLINE RETREAT
A sacred space for deep healing, community, and transformation.
This retreat is a space to reconnect with your truth, your power, and your innate wisdom.
You will be guided through a gentle, yet powerful, trauma-informed journey to:
• Understand the motherline wound and how it has shaped your life
• Identify unconscious patterns and survival strategies that no longer serve you
• Reclaim your body, boundaries, and self-expression
• Explore your inner child and ancestral lineage with compassion
• Discover how healing this wound creates lasting shifts in your relationships, work, and sense of purpose
• Build tools and rituals for ongoing self-healing
• Find peace where there was once pain, clarity where there was confusion, and strength where there was silence
All held within a deeply supportive and nurturing container.
You do not have to go through this alone.
IS THIS RETREAT FOR YOU?
You may see yourself in some of these experiences:
• You had a difficult or strained relationship with your mother growing up—or still do
• You constantly prioritize others over yourself
• You struggle with self-worth, even when you achieve “success”
• You feel disconnected from your body, boundaries, or emotional needs
• You’re ready to understand how your past shaped you—but not let it define you
• You long for deep, authentic connection with others who truly understand
• You’re tired of performing, proving, or pretending
• You’re ready to heal the generational patterns passed down through your lineage
This retreat is open to women and men ready to reclaim their wholeness and step into a new legacy—one rooted in compassion, sovereignty, and self-trust.

Meet Vanessa
I am a qualified psychotherapist, coach, practicing for nearly two decades now. In 2022 I became an author with my book 'The REBEL method.
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 in 2022 with a money mindset coach.
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 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.
