It's Time to Break the Cycle

As the year draws to a close, even the seasoned woman who’s spent many hours healing her mother wound can experience a resurfacing of old aches — the longing for an apology, a frustrating sense of duty, and misplaced loyalty — and wonder how to break the cycle. If you feel it’s your time to break the cycle — not by cutting ties with your mother or family, but by severing the hold of your childhood’s unmet needs on the way you live your life now — this blog post, and the invitation within it, is for you.
A quick note before I get into it to let you know that My 1:1 work is evolving — and my rates will too. More on this and teh invitation to break the cycle now below.
I’m writing this to you while I’m on my way back from a physiotherapy session with a woman who lives a 4.5-hour train ride from my home in Zurich, one way!
Why travel that far?
Not because I couldn’t find anyone closer, or because I have time to spare, or because the countryside scenery is dreamy and relaxing (and it is!)
It’s because when I read about Johdi’s way of working, something in me knew.
Johdi isn’t just working on the body — she is working with life itself.
Her approach echoed something I know to be true in all healing work:
Transformation isn’t something we wait for — it’s available right now.
When you find someone who can see you from all sides: both what’s in flow and what’s stuck, what’s strong and what’s weak, what’s hidden and what’s expressed → you know you have found the key, the right accompaniment for your transformation.
Change happens within an ecosystem of all our parts, all our lived stories and the ones we’re burning to live and tell.
By the end of my time with Johdi, my posture had softened. But more importantly, there was a subtle yet clear awareness that my body and my life were beginning to move together again.
And that’s exactly what happens inside my 1:1 work with women who are healing the mother wound.
My clients also feel that their body and life move together again when they:
🍁 Discover how to break free from enmeshment
🍁 Ask for what they feel they deserve to earn at work
🍁 Find a partner who makes them feel safe and seen
The mother wound is a rupture in our relationship with ourselves, with others and with life itself - that begins through our relationship with our mother.
So, is it a journey to healing the mother wound? — yes.
We can’t reach our big healing goals without those interim shifts and, at the same time, it doesn’t mean you have to wait months or years to feel some shift.
In our very first session together, you might:
🍁 Find, right now, one way to release guilt for not doing emotional labour for your mum and to de-centre her from your field of energy
🍁 Learn, right now, one way you can give yourself the breathing space you’re craving by putting your phone on silent so you don’t see your mum’s texts and have a coffee date with yourself or a friend
🍁 Soften, right now, the searing frustration from not being heard (again) to regain energy, creativity and peace of mind
If you were able to feel differently about one thing in your mother wound right now—what would that be?
When it comes to the mother wound, most of us feel it’s more vulnerable and risky to go to therapy or coaching than to go to physiotherapy to lift a child without back pain or walk without knee pain
I can name many reasons why it feels less intimidating, but here’s one POV I want you to notice:
Patriarchy teaches us to focus only on the external world and to fear anything emotional, psychological, energetic, or spiritual.
It’s why our mothers, grandmothers, and generations of women before them were shamed, silenced, and punished for their inner wisdom and emotional or spiritual power.
That’s why my 1:1 healing work isn’t about endless talking — it’s a space where you release heavy emotions and use your own healing goals to guide the process, so you can break old patterns with your mum or the implications of your past with her to see the results in your everyday life.
It’s time to break the cycle and start this powerful transformation now.
And I wanted to start breaking the news to you that right now I’m too on a transformation threshold.
Over the past decade of working with women who’ve experienced a tricky relationship with their mother that overwrote, in spite of their best efforts, their sense of self, their relationships, motherhood, career choices and health—my body of work has evolved a lot.
In 2026 my rates will be increasing.
