You’re Not Broken — You’re Carrying Too Much

I’m a therapist, eating disorder specialist, and mama of two. And the mothers I work with aren’t “failing” at motherhood — they’re exhausted from carrying food stress, body image pressure, and the emotional weight of parenting all at the same time.

For many women, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood don’t create new struggles — they reactivate old ones. Years of dieting. A lifetime of body criticism. Unprocessed birth trauma. Childhood experiences that taught you to override your needs in order to survive.

Motherhood has a way of bringing all of that to the surface.

And when it does, it can feel confusing, heavy, and deeply isolating.

The Mothers I Support

I specialize in working with pregnant, postpartum, and parenting moms who are:

• Healing from years of dieting, food rules, or body shame

• Noticing food and body struggles resurface in motherhood — even after “doing the work”

• Trying to feel safe in their body again after birth trauma and/or childhood trauma

• Determined to break cycles around food, body image, and emotional coping — even when it feels really hard

These are often thoughtful, capable, high-functioning women. The kind who are doing everything they can to be good mothers.

And still… it doesn’t feel like enough.

If This Sounds Like You…

You might find yourself:

• Doing all the “right” things and still feeling behind

• Constantly second-guessing yourself as a mother

• Feeling disconnected from your body or struggling with food again

• Wondering why motherhood feels heavier than you expected

If that’s you, I want you to hear this clearly:

You’re not broken. And you’re not failing.

You are responding to systems, stories, and expectations that were never designed to support mothers — especially mothers healing from trauma or disordered relationships with food and body.

When motherhood is layered on top of unresolved pain, perfectionism, and pressure to “bounce back” or “do it right,” something has to give. That doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re human.

Therapy That Understands This Season

Healing in motherhood isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about learning how to listen to your body again, soften the inner critic, and create safety where there once was survival mode.

In my work, we focus on:

• Rebuilding trust with your body

• Gently untangling food and body stress

• Processing trauma at a pace that feels supportive, not overwhelming

• Helping you show up for yourself with the same care you offer everyone else

This is not about perfection. It’s about relief, compassion, and sustainable change — for you and for the next generation.

You Deserve Support That Actually Gets It

If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or parenting and feeling overwhelmed by food, body image, or the emotional weight of motherhood, you don’t have to carry it alone.

I’m currently accepting new therapy clients and offer virtual sessions for added flexibility.

You’re welcome to book a free 15-minute consultation here, to see if we’re a good fit.

And if you’re not ready for therapy yet, you can follow along at @nurtured.embodied.mama for honest conversations about food, body image, trauma, and healing in motherhood.

✨ You deserve support that understands this season — not one that asks you to push through it.
