Wild and Rooted
A 12 week 1:1 somatic coaching program supporting mothers who want to move out of survival mode, find their calm and feel like themselves again.
Sound like the season you’re in?
Your body always feels like its ‘on’ even when the kids go to bed
You’ve been brushing off the ‘mum rage’ for so long, you can’t remember what calm feels like
You’re ready to stop feeling like it’s Groundhog Day and actually feel safe and at home in your body
Are you a mother who’s nervous system is stuck in overdrive, bogged down by the mental load and SO ready to feel more like you again?
Imagine this...
You go a full week without shouting, and when the red mist rises you have a tool you can reach for instead of losing it at the kids again
You can say "I need five minutes" when you’re overstimulated and walk into another room to settle your body without the guilt spiral after
You actually feel present with your children instead of like your mind is elsewhere stressing about what’s next
You book something solo that you know builds your capacity to hold whatever motherhood throws at you - a wild swim, a class, a walk - and it survives the week instead of getting bumped for laundry
Hi I’m Jo
I’m a Somatic Coach, Restorative Yoga and Reiki Practitioner. It’s wild to think that only a few years ago I was feeling in such a crap place. My body was permanently on high alert, and I never allowed myself to stop because being in my body felt too overwhelming. I felt so much guilt about the anger I felt and had no idea how to acknowledge or release it. I was consumed by trying to be the ‘perfect’ mother, feeling like I should be ‘enjoying every minute’ but actually feeling totally floored by the experience.
What changed was learning to regulate my nervous system through learning about it in my restorative yoga training and how to use somatics to ‘down regulate’ or release before coming into rest. I then went on to study Embodiment, Reiki and Somatic Coaching which grew the list of tools to integrate into my life and builds my capacity to handle whatever motherhood throws at me.
Tools that I use every single day to regulate my nervous system in an even busier time of my life with now two children in tow. I feel like there is more space for joy and fun and I’m no longer in survival mode like I was back then. An awesome side effect? My girls benefit from my regulation too and are learning tools to manage big emotions and stresses in their lives.
So how do you go from a body stuck in survival mode to feeling calm, rooted and guilt-free in your own life?
How do you feel safe enough in your own body to put the to-do-list to one side and think about what YOU want?
Introducing The Wild and Rooted Method
Three month 1:1 somatic coaching program for nervous system regulation
Together we’ll bring you back into your body, regulate your nervous system, explore the beliefs that are holding you back and get to know what brings you joy again
In this program you will learn
How to calm your body in the moment before the overwhelm takes over
What’s beneath the ‘mum rage’ and how to work with it
How to move out of ‘survival’ mode and into rest

How to ensure your joy is a non-negotiable
Here’s how we’ll make it happen
1. Get Rooted
We start with your body, learning what your nervous system is doing and why. Mapping where the overwhelm and ‘mum rage’ is really coming from and building a sense of safety from the ground up. We also work through deep-rooted beliefs including the ‘Good Mother Myth’ that contribute to the guilt spirals.
2. Wildly You
From a rooted place, you get to know what your ‘wild’ is, your values, passions and dreams so that you are crystal clear on what your priorities are. We explore what it means to be intentional and boundaried with your time, so that heavy resentment towards your family becomes a thing of the past.
3. In All Seasons
Because let’s be real, shit will hit the fan so we ensure you are equipped for real mum life scenarios with a regulation toolkit in your back pocket at all times and the self worth to uphold your calm and your joy as a non-negotiable, always.

Client Stories
Sara, 37, mum of two, wanted to come out of survival mode
Sara wanted to find ways to work through always feeling in survival mode and increase her self worth to a point where she could feel confident about planning her return to work. We began working through the overwhelm, mapping where she felt it in her body. Then getting to the roots and reframing the negative thought patterns she had. Rest or movement was always included in the sessions depending on what Sara’s nervous system needed that day.
Sara began to feel safe enough in her body to integrate rest into her life and moments to check in which gave her the space to begin to think about her return to work. We also worked on her boundaries around family members and asking for what she needed.
Sara prioritised her much loved running practice which brought her, her calm and created space to plan her return to work. Here’s what she said about her experience working together.
Anna, 35, mum of two, wanted to find her calm and herself again
Anna reached out to me as she was nearing the end of her mat leave. She wanted to find herself again since becoming a mum and explore what her ‘thing’ was. After pouring so much into her family, she felt like she never had any time to herself, felt frequently overwhelmed and guilty about doing things solo.
We worked together on building in small habits that helped her build her capacity to deal with the daily overwhelm, found the roots of where her feelings of guilt came from and explored what her relationship with being a ‘good mother’ truly meant to her.
Anna, then worked towards integrating regulation practices such as daily breath work into her life every week during breast feed and walks. This calm and space gave her more clarity of mind to begin to think about what her ‘thing’ was. Here’s what she said about her experience working together.
Why this isn’t just another coaching program
I won’t be asking you to integrate long, unrealistic practices into your life which feel like another ‘to-do’, regulation is built into micro moments
We use neuroscience-informed somatic practices to rewire your thoughts and create a sense of safety within your body to create change that lasts
I actually understand the day in/day out intensity of motherhood so you feel seen and heard in your experience
I won’t be bypassing the fact that the times that we are mothering in today are damn hard and acknowledging the sociological lens, the support you have around you (if you have it) and your own schedule and commitments
You’re fed up of losing your cool with your kids but don’t know how to change things
Your body feels wired, tense or exhausted and you can’t remember the last time you felt properly calm
You crave time to be you but feel guilty every time you attempt to go out solo
You know there’s more to life than being bogged down by the mental load of motherhood
This is for you if…
This is not for you if…
You’re not ready to go all in and commit to the process
This doesn’t feel like an important change for you in your life right now
You’re not open to giving something new a try
You’re not willing to start prioritising yourself
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Your nervous system decides if your body feels safe or under threat. In our modern day there are many stressors e.g. screen time, that can leave us stuck in a stress response. Pair that with the intensity of motherhood - being tired, snappy and exhausted can end up feeling like the norm.
Regulation is the process of building your capacity to handle whatever life throws at you it through settling and capacity building techniques. We build these in gently week by week so that rooted and resilient becomes your new normal.
-
Somatic coaching works with the body, not just the mind, to create lasting change. Rather than only talking through challenges, we tune into what your nervous system and body are holding — tension, stress patterns, disconnection — and use that awareness to help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more at home in yourself.
An amazing tool for reconnecting with your body during the intensity of early motherhood, so you can move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling spacious, clear, and rooted in who you are — not just "mum."
