Let’s be honest. Sometimes a “grippy sock vacay” sounds refreshing, right?

You know the kind I’m talking about…a few days in the hospital sometimes sounds kinda nice. Someone else to cook, clean and chauffeur. Someone else is responsible. Someone else has to be in charge.

It ain’t the Ritz Carlton, but at least it’s away from all of the bullshit that’s going on in your life. The only problem with going to the hospital is that you don’t want to talk to anyone. It’s only appealing because it’s away from your current situation and someone else will be taking care of what’s on the other side of those doors.

And you can relax for a minute.

You just want to be left the hell alone.

You want to eat your food warm.

Pee without someone following you.

Sleep as late as you want.

And talk to a Therapist. Just to get shit out of your head. And possibly cry.

There’s no shame in wanting this! And let’s do it the right way.

No grippy sock vacay for you, Mama.

What you want…what you need is a Mama Intensive.

It’s exhausting being the “default parent.”

• Needing to remember all the things…god forbid you forget something!

• The loneliness of not feeling like you have a true partner.

• Having to come up with the ideas (menu ideas, gift giving, planning, etc).

• The invisible weight that’s on your shoulders at all times…no chiropractor or physical therapist can fix that.

Something needs to change. And you know some of this change starts with you.

You are self-aware enough to know that there are things from your past that are triggering some bigger emotions and behaviors that have become more concerning and problematic lately. You also know that this needs to be addressed before it gets any worse. And you struggle with being able to take the time to do that. It just doesn’t seem possible to be able to fit weekly therapy into your already overly-packed schedule.

You truly don’t want to lose your shit every time someone forgets to do something. You don’t want to be resentful of your partner because they don’t see the toilet paper roll is empty or they didn’t pick up the dry cleaning.

You want to be able to calmly communicate your feelings, needs and wants without it ending up with one of you sleeping on the couch and not speaking for days. You want to be heard. Loved. Emotionally supported. And you know that how you’re dealing with things right now isn’t helping to better the situation.

It would be so much easier to simply go away for a few days, work through the shit, feel better and come home feeling rested, clearer on what it is that you want and need, feel more confident about who you are as an individual, as well as in all of the roles you play to all of the people.

You want a fresh start. You want to have the difficult conversations. You know, the same conversation you’ve had a million times before, but for you to be able to say the things you need to without the negative thoughts and beliefs about yourself that are influencing them.

What you want…What you need is a Mama Intensive.

What in the world is a Mama Intensive?

I’m so glad you asked! I’m truly excited to bring this experience to you.

A Mama Intensive is a multi-day Intensive EMDR Therapy experience created especially for Mamas who are feeling stressed, overwhelmed and burned the fuck out. You’re pressed for time and just want to get the work started and see progress now.

You can also consider a Mama Intensive a personal getaway to focus on YOU without having to do all the planning. I’ll take care of all that for you. 

Here’s the highlights:

• Stay in a local AirBNB near Historic Main Street St. Charles, Missouri. (If you prefer a hotel, that can also be arranged.)

• Discounted services at local spa Birch Botanical Spa.

• Gift basket complete with journal, bath essentials and more!

The Intensive EMDR Therapy Sessions

The Mama Intensive includes a total of 9 hours of EMDR processing over 3 days. We’ll process through what’s got you feeling so out of sorts. Then you’re free to relax, treat yourself to some of the discounted services at Birch Botanical Spa, check out the cute shops and restaurants on Historic Main Street St. Charles or whatever your heart desires. 

And when we say good-bye, you’ll be feeling rested. Strong. Confident. Pampered. And have a new resolve in your heart to prioritize yourself without the mom guilt. You’ll feel lighter having shed the negative thoughts you’ve spent your life believing about yourself and the world and established new, empowering beliefs. It’s gonna be pretty damn amazing.

Come see for yourself!
