Motherecentered Certification

The Mothercentred Approach is the only perinatal mental health training informed by Internal Family Systems.

What it's all About

Life changing, experiential training that shifts the way we conceptualize, treat, and support women who are conceiving, birthing, and raising children.

The Mothercentered Approach brings an Internal Family Systems-informed, holistic vision for understanding and treating Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADS) - not as disorder in mothers - but rather as the consequence of parts and patriarchy during matrescence and the accompanying disease of shame new mothers get saddled with. This is not a course about diagnosing PMADs - it's a course about working effectively with matrescent women (using IFS) without making mothers into identified patients on behalf of a patriarchal society that exiles their needs and dismisses their value.

What is the Motherecentered 
Approach?

In a baby-centric world, mothers' profound needs often go unrecognized - both by society and within their own transforming bodies and psyches. The Mothercentered Approach challenges this paradigm by creating space for mothers to reconnect with their voices and needs.


By equipping practitioners to hold space for the full maternal experience, we move beyond labeling natural responses as "disorders." Instead, we create communities where mothers' experiences are validated and their transformation honored.

Redefining PMADs

The Mothercentered Approach reframes maternal mental health by recognizing the natural emergence of distinct "Mom Parts" during matrescence. This transformation, while biologically designed to redirect resources toward the baby, often creates an internal imbalance. When this profound shift occurs within a patriarchal context, mothers frequently experience heightened anxiety, shame, and self-criticism.
What society labels as "disorders" are often protective responses to navigating motherhood without adequate support and validation. Without addressing these deeper patterns, we risk perpetuating intergenerational cycles of trauma and maternal struggle.

 I thought early motherhood would be gentle, beatific, pacific, tranquil: bathed in a soft light. But actually it was hard-core, edgy, gnarly.
