Motherhood can feel deeply lonely, even when you are never actually alone. Big emotions like overwhelm, rage, grief, guilt or numbness are not signs that something is wrong with you, but signals from a nervous system under pressure. This article gently normalises the emotional intensity of motherhood and offers a somatic, body-led perspective on how to meet these feelings with kindness rather than fixing. It also introduces a supportive Insight Timer course created for mothers who want simple, grounding practices they can return to in real life.

Becoming a mother transforms not only your body, but also your nervous system. After birth, it’s common to feel wired-yet-tired, anxious, or disconnected from yourself, even while deeply in love with your baby. This guide shares gentle, realistic practices—like rest, nature, movement, connection, and self-compassion—to help you feel grounded and supported in early motherhood.

Somatic Therapy supports mothers to reconnect with their bodies and emotions in a gentle, creative way. It blends mindfulness, body awareness, and expressive practices to help release tension, process held experiences, and build a deeper sense of inner connection. Especially during pregnancy, postpartum, or parenting, it offers a safe space to come home to yourself and feel more grounded, present, and resourced.
