REST AND RELATE
a guide for mothers and their children
A nurturing guide to support rest, regulation, and deeper connection for both you and your child.
Whether you're in a tender season or simply seeking more ease, this guide offers soft landings and meaningful presence.
I see you.
You’re carrying so much and still trying to show up with love
But the truth is: you’re tired. Your nervous system is frayed. And some days, presence feels out of reach.
Motherhood is beautiful but it’s also overwhelming.
You want to stay calm, connected, and present…
But when you're running on empty, even the smallest things can feel like too much.
Your child needs your steady presence. You need rest. And yet, the world doesn’t slow down.
❤️
You try to hold it all:
Soothing big emotions while hiding your own.
Navigating screens, sleep, routines while forgetting to breathe.
Longing for moments of connection but stuck in cycles of reactivity and guilt.
It’s no wonder you feel dysregulated. Alone. Exhausted.
And your child? They feel it too. Their nervous system mirrors yours.
What if you both had a soft place to land?
