Mother Fire
Forging better boundaries in 2026
Are you exhausted and overwhelmed?
Do you feel alone in mothering even though you have a willing spouse?
Are you unsure how to get the support you need (or if you even deserve it?)
Have you done absolutely every fucking thing you can think of to make things “work” for your family?
All while treading water in a sea of mom guilt and fear for the world?
Mother Fire is a group-based Mothermind designed to take you beyond overwhelm, will-power, and people-pleasing, and into intimacy, agility, and ease in your parenting and relationships.
After Mother Fire, you can expect to:
Get off the gentle parent / scary mommy see-saw.
Be more responsive and less reactive to your kids.
Trust yourself and your instincts as a mother.
Have a more livable relationship with your own mother.
Know that you and your spouse have got each other’s back.
Have better sex and more of the sex you want to have.
Maintain loving boundaries and recover quickly when you don't.
Feel your dreams, personal goals, motherhood, creativity, and community participation synching up instead of canceling each other out.
I’ve been a coach for ten years, and across the board, boundaries are the single biggest challenge for my clients. Whether compromising on needs and desires for birth, drowning in resentment toward their spouse / mother after having a baby, or doing wildly inappropriate things for their nervous system on the yoga mat, my clients shared this in common: a nervous system primed to accommodate everybody else’s needs first.
Through Somatic Experiencing, movement, and expressive arts practices, not only have I seen this pattern resolve in hundreds of clients, but I, too, have learned to embody boundaries from a place of protecting my needs, desires, and deepest knowing.
This work enabled me to find reliable helpers, skilled practitioners, to clearly articulate my needs in relationships and to learn to mother in a way that truly works for me rather than making me feel like a fraud.
Through my commitment to holding myself at the center of my family, I’ve become more generous with my children, my spouse, and have developed incredible relationships with wise mothers who have got my back.
Because the issue isn’t whether you’re doing enough or even doing it right - the issue is boundaries; knowing where others end and you begin so that you can relate to others and the world from your center rather than fear, anxiety, or obligation.
Testimonials
“I found Stacey through a trusted referral system in a time of deep distress after becoming a new mother for the first time. I felt that I had died and was in need of resuscitation. After our first session, I experienced a deep sense in my body I hadn't felt in years... relief.”
- Amy“This course is a validation of all the messy feelings that engaged motherhood brings up, and it's also a map that helps a woman navigate the dark forest of those feelings without judgment but plenty of light.”
- Stefanie“I wish I had this work when my kids were younger and think it should be required for any mother dealing with rage. I use some of the tools on a daily basis and it has helped to rewire my nervous system.”

Mother Fire is the forge inside which you will discover the secret of boundaries: they are protection, not defense.
Strong boundaries help you conserve and strengthen your energy.
Healthy boundaries allow you to stay in relationship to others, even across massive differences.
Well-formed boundaries take no will-power to maintain and they keep you present even in conflict.
Forging better boundaries does not make you selfish or rigid. In fact, you become more flexible and relaxed because you know how to give what you have and get what you need.
Here’s how it works.
Every season, we will investigate a new topic relevant to your motherhood:
Spring: Partnership and boundaries.
Summer: Sexuality, desire, and getting the sex you want.
Fall: Deep nourishment and vitality in body, mind, and spirit.
Winter: Creativity, personal mythology, and the shadow.
This isn’t one more thing you have to do. It is the thing to do to change everything - your motherhood, your marriage, your health. Because I know you want a better world for your kids, and this is how we as mothers build that world.
Testimonials
“For me, it made a big difference to know that there is a space and time once a week which is dedicated just for me and where I come together with other mothers. And that there is a person (Stacey) who is holding this space so gracefully and professionally. With a lot of love and guidance. This made me feel more stable and held during the container. Even though I could rarely join entire sessions because of the time difference, I took away a lot. Especially the importance of small somatic practices on a daily level (orienting inside and out!). And the teaching that Our bodies and needs are sacred. Thank you Stacey!”
- Amy“It was actually really hard (though not in a harmful way at all, just challenging in a surprising way) for me to be in the group space--I encountered a lot of jealousy/envy of people's time/space which is very closely tied to this specific bundle of grief for me. But being in a space where the messy parts don't need to be euphemized/sanitized felt very comfortable and rare. I really appreciated your teaching and the container for processing my experiences.”
- Margo“The experience of practicing being with myself in the group helped me do that in my life when the class was not happening. Stacey held firm self-compassion and self-responsibility that felt so empowering and true. I felt welcome to be my real self- the petty and profound. I feel validated to reach for and care for my wild self. Learning and trusting that asking for help when I feel most like a victim helps to melt that freeze and overwhelm was huge for me. Stacey was such a grounded, bright, authentic guide- I could feel these qualities grow in me.”
