Healing does not always
happen one to one.
Sometimes it happens in a room full of women who understand.
These offerings are designed for women who are ready to do real work in community — where the shared experience of other women becomes part of the healing itself.
The Inside-Out Mothering Circle
Healing the mother wound from the inside out — so it stops here, with you.
This is a structured eight-week group coaching experience for mothers who are ready to understand why they parent the way they do — and change it — with the support of women who are doing the same work beside them.
Over eight weeks you will move through the Legacy Repair Loop — a five-step process that helps you tell the truth about your story, grieve what you did not get, learn to stay present in hard moments, reclaim trust in yourself, and create the secure connection with your children you have always wanted.
Tell the Truth
Name what actually happened and how it shaped you.
Grieve
Honor the loss of the mother you needed and never had.
Learn to Stay
Build the regulation skills to stay present when it gets hard.
Reclaim Self-Trust
Come home to your own knowing and stop second-guessing yourself.
Create Secure Connection
Build the relationship with your children you have always wanted.
The Daughter Wound Circle
A closed therapy group for women raised by emotionally unavailable mothers — ready to heal, not alone, but witnessed.
Any woman raised by an emotionally unavailable mother who is emotionally stable, ready to be in community, and committed to doing the work — not just talking about it.
You do not have to be a mother to be here. This group is for any woman carrying the daughter wound who is ready to heal it in the presence of others who understand it from the inside.
Individual therapy can take you far. But there is something that happens in a room of women who carry the same wound — a kind of recognition that no one-to-one relationship can replicate.
What you could not receive from your mother — being witnessed, held, told you are enough — begins to be repaired in relationship with other women who are doing the same work beside you.
This is a licensed therapy group facilitated by Amelia Mora Mars, LMFT. It is not a support group. It is a therapeutic container for real change.
Moms in the Storm
A warm community for mothers raising children with mental health challenges. A space to be honest, be supported, and be reminded you are not alone.
Raising a child with mental illness, autism, behavioral challenges, or emotional dysregulation is one of the loneliest experiences a mother can have. The grief is real. The exhaustion is real. And the love that keeps you showing up every day is real too.
Moms in the Storm was created because every mother in that situation deserves a room full of women who get it. No explanations needed. No judgment. Just honest conversation, warm community, and the reminder that you are not failing — you are carrying something heavy and doing it with love.
Co-founded with Shaleena Tareen, President and Founder of Childhood Matters, a Ventura County nonprofit supporting the mental health of children and families.
