Course Includes:

  • 15 Videos

    Your online course includes 15 individual videos designed to help your inner child meet your inner parent. Through education, gentle loving support, exercises and journal prompts, each video is designed to walk alongside you in your healing process. We explore the major components to healing your inner child and to learning to reparent yourself: Cultivating your internalized loving mother, healing your nervous system, and understanding the relationship between Attachment Theory and Polvagal Theory. Finally, and most importantly, you will learn how to use my 3 Part Reparenting Protocol which includes: Self Nurturing, Self Safety, and Self Soothing, to design a life that works for YOU, and reflects your precious inner child, and powerful, safe and loving inner parent -- rather than someone else's prescription for healing your unique, and special inner child and life. Each video will help you transform the wounded inner child into the loving internalized parent you always deserved.

  • 26 Lessons

    Every lesson in the Remothered course is designed to help you identify, heal and transform your wounded inner child into a loved, safe, seen and heard inner child-- who is cared for by an internalized loving mother. We begin by identifying and understanding our wounded inner child signs, symptoms and patterns and then we move into lessons focused on Attachment wounds, Complex Trauma, trauma types and relationship issues impacted by trauma. Once we explore and understand the foundation of our childhood relational trauma, we then work on developing your own personalized 3 Part Reparenting Protocol: Self Safety, Self Soothing and Self Nurturing, and how to set up a daily life that reflects your worthy and lovable inner child and inner parent. The goal of each lesson is to further enhance your knowledge of where you came from, so you can begin to sculpt who you are today. There are parts of your pain and story that are powerful -- and we want to honor the parts of our little child selves that helped us survive. At the same time, there are parts of our inner child that hold us back from the life we are worthy of living. Sometimes, our internalized mother voice reinforces those wounded parts and keeps them tucked away in childhood, rather than setting them free, and holding them with love and compassion. Once we understand the concept of being both our inner child and inner parent, we can begin to explore our lives and relationships with wild abandon, always knowing our "mother," waits safely for us to return. Re-mothering is about meeting our inner child, in many ways, for the very first time.

  • 30 Page E-Workbook (PDFs)

    Your E-Workbook pages are designed to accompany each video lesson, and you are free to complete them alongside the videos, or to return later at your own pace. From healing wounded parts, identifying your ideal mother, and attachment wound exercises, to understanding the impact of enmeshment, guilt, anger, identity and relational cycles, and how to cultivate play and happiness - we explore our childhoods and adult lives. Additionally, we focus on creating loving internalized messages, identifying goals for our healed lives, and through an exploration of over 30 journal prompts and ideas - we further shape and craft our inner child and inner adult healing process. Most importantly, we develop a daily plan for sculpting a life that reflects our lovability and worthiness as children, adults and humans. You are the only internalized mother you will ever have, and that voice will be with you for the entirety of your life. Remake your internalized mother into exactly what you needed in childhood and now, into the mother you need and deserve inside your mind and heart today. When you re-mother, you heal parts of yourself that you never even knew were broken, and you re-design them to reflect a life of self love, self compassion and true, emotional safety.

  • Guided Meditations & Affirmations

    The Re-Mothered Guided Meditations and Affirmations are designed to help soothe and re-shape your nervous system, heal your inner child and inner parent, and to develop an inner experience of true self safety. The goal is to learn to integrate and hold the wounded inner child as a loving, safe and internalized mother. We also use the Safe Place and an inspiring version of the Ideal Parent Protocol (developed by Dan Brown and David Elliot) (MP3).
