The personal growth and transformational journey for the mother who is CRAVING doing motherhood differently. Where flow, flexibility and doing motherhood Your Way is the norm. If you are ready to make enjoying your days, having more fun and being the best parent you can be your new “default” and automatic way of showing up in your life…
This is Functional Motherhood.
Instead of buying yet another parenting book on how to get your kids to listen so that you can yell at them less, we address the origin of what triggers your highly charged emotions in the first place. We shift from negative mental spirals, constant pressure, overwhelm, and go go go to a new defaulted emotional response of joy and happiness.
Do you feel like you’ve lost your color mama?
Did you know flamingos often lose their color when raising their young? And if that doesn’t accurately represent how motherhood can feel sometimes, I don’t know what does.
The burnout, the overwhelm, the constant meeting of needs before your own, the sacrifices, and the constant changes, the expectations and learned patterns of “how” you are supposed to be as a mom is often disorienting and exhausting.
In pregnancy we often don’t find the tools and opportunities to grieve the life before kids that we are letting go as our brain is physically rewiring and we are evolving into a new version of ourselves.
In the 4th trimester/ postpartum the hormone changes and neurological rewiring along with the late night sleepless nights, colic and newborn challenges can make those first few years feel harrowing.
And the constant growth, adaptation and evolution that’s required as your kids rapidly grow and shift with all of the intensive needs from you, it can be easy to lose yourself in the process.
The biggest issue I both faced and realized is that the support for mom’s vanishes after your 6-8 week postpartum visit. And it leaves mom’s wondering over and over “what about me?”. You focused so much on learning about labor, pregnancy and how to take care of your kid. You’ve dedicated so much time to preparing for baby, but what prep time was spent preparing you for the changes, the rebirth, you experience? And what support do you have access to when you realize your identity has changed? When you don’t recognize your body, yourself, and you even realize that your friends are changing. When you experience anxiety for the first time postpartum or depression and what you’re told is the best they can do is give you a pill?
If you’re like most of the passionate, driven, moms I work with, along the way you’ve realized you’re not who you were. Things that used to work in your life, ways you used to do things, don’t work anymore. Ways you have identified who you are as “successful”, “driven” don’t quite feel the same. And it all has left you wondering “what’s wrong with me”, or worried that you’re “not doing a good job”.
Maybe you feel like you’ve lost your passion, your excitement, your joy in the long, often boring and exhausting days of parenting, career pauses or life shifts.
Or perhaps you have a bit more time freedom and you have absolutely no idea who you are and what you would even want to do with it…
Maybe you’ve realized that there just has to be more than sandwiches, and meals, carpooling, and never ending laundry.
Whether you’ve tried therapy, tried reading all the parenting books, taken so many courses and STILL you’re burned out AGAIN…
if you feel like you’ve lost who you are, maybe even a bit of your sanity…
and it’s all left you feeling nowhere near where you want to be or what you thought motherhood would be like…
Let’s get your color back mama.
If you’re here you’ve realized your nervous system, your emotions and your MIND is the key to your mental wellbeing, finding who YOU are now in this season, to getting to the root of burnout and being the parent you want to be.
While becoming a mom and experiencing all the shifts and changes with growing kids can be sometimes painful or disorienting, it can also be powerful and expansive.
Your brain is magically rewiring so that you can be the absolute best mom to your kiddos.
And while taking care of newborns can bring its difficult challenges it can also be a portal for YOUR immense growth and rebirth.
When you have the opportunity to let go of who you were, relearn and embrace who you are NOW, that’s when you truly start living (and yes that sounds cheesy and it’s absolutely true!).
This is Functional Motherhood
Because you’re here…
You probably already know that creating the motherhood and life you want to have is possible or else you wouldn’t be here.
I probably also don’t have to tell you that being in a group of like-minded mama’s that want to improve, who want to heal and who have hearts that want to create and live the life and motherhood of their dreams is an extremely powerful place to be.
But you’ve also probably tried a lot of things, right? Everyone has a book or a program or a podcast with their strategies of how they got there.
And that might work for some, but it isn’t super specific to YOU first and your family. Not only that but perhaps, when you get real and take an honest look, you know that part of the outbursts, flare ups and breakdowns are some of your old patterns, beliefs, emotions and triggers.
With all of the compassion in the WORLD when we finally realize that we are part of the problem, it also means that we are the SOLUTION.
What if… instead of focusing on “fixing others” we took a moment to reflect, to dig deep, to heal and integrate our own attachment wounds, fears, stored stress and negative emotions, false narratives and limiting beliefs. What if we looked inward first so that we can then create calm, secure, confident spaces for ourselves and our loved ones?
What if… those tools that helped us regulate ourselves, to integrate and heal also helped your kiddos process their BIG emotions and feel like they can handle life’s challenges…
And what if… we could do that in just 8 weeks together…
Is that something that would change your life?
(After working with hundreds of women and mom’s, I bet it would!)
imagine …
Imagine parenting from a place that feels totally in alignment with your values. Feeling fulfilled and finding JOY again.
Imagine knowing you have the flexibility, the freedom, the adaptability, the OVERFLOW of energy to live your life and being present for your kiddos, partner, spouse.
Imagine finding and nourishing a deep trust in yourself and your intuition.
Imagine what it would feel like to have the space inside yourself to show up and respond how you want to. Even when your kiddos have BIG feelings.
Imagine how your family would respond to and experience you if you were less run down and more calm, confident and present.
In fact, how much are these patterns costing you, your relationship with yourself, your kiddos and your family? What impact is staying stuck in the burnout, overwhelm, negative mental spirals having on you and your health?
You can create the motherhood and life of your DREAMS without sacrificing yourself and your wellbeing.
You’re here to break the chains of what’s normalized for moms.
You see the “always tired, hate your kids, it’s so hard, just wait till the next phase” and you CRAVE doing things differently. You know you don’t fit that mold.
Your new natural state of being is having fun & being able to fill your cup without feeling guilty or constantly feeling anxious about not being with your kids.
You allow yourself to be supported.
You KNOW there’s nothing wrong with you and you finally trust your voice & have reclaimed your inner instincts.
Your work, overwhelm, burn out cycles and over achieving tendencies are no longer all consuming. You fully lean into time with your kids, the seasons of rest, and give yourself full permission to slow down and ENJOY the life you’ve built.
You fully own your identity as a mom and you do more of what you LOVE to do in your day that brings you so much joy.
You are here to create a new era of motherhood.
And I will help you make that transformation
Introducing…
Functional Motherhood isn’t an “online course” like many others you may have taken.
…It’s a deep dive transformation into your habits, routines and more that will change you…
Functional Motherhood is the personal growth experience, roadmap AND community of women & mom’s packed with PROVEN neuroscience based exercises, resources and systems that you can build your toolbox, regulate your emotions & nervous system, and deepen your relationship with you and your family.
This is where you finally shift from looking for all the “fixes” and one size fits all solutions to finally learning to trust yourself again and that YOU know what’s best for you and your family.

Dr K
I used to feel like I needed to “fix” myself. For most of my life I felt like there was something wrong with me. And as a high achiever I was successful at most things I did. I had 5 degrees, my own practice, I was an Ironman triathlete and things “looked” good.
But inside, I had attached my self worth with my achievements. I strove for unachievable perfection and was stuck in survival mode using frustration to motivate myself, feeling frozen and stuck, paralyzed by anxiety, perfectionism and people pleasing to avoid conflict.
It all showed up in my health and relationships. I reached the pinnacle of my burnout in my private Chiropractic and Functional Medicine practice. I was getting stress hives everyday and my migraines and endometriosis weren’t getting better no matter what I did.
And then… my husband said he had wanted to have kids for over 5 years. It felt like a knife to my gut.
There was no way I could have kids feeling the way I did. My immune system was shot and there was no way I could add a kid on top of everything else. My body and my mind were at a breaking point. And that’s when I realized that I had to change.
I had literally tried everything. Conventional medicine, alternative medicine, all the lifestyle changes.
But I hadn’t learned how to regulate my emotions. How to stop ignoring and repressing my emotions. I needed to regulate my nervous system. I needed to heal past events in my life.
So I did. I became master certified in Neurolinguistic Programming and learned how to help myself and my patients, clients how to heal, too.
And then… everyone told me inside of Motherhood I’d not sleep again and burnout and overwhelm were inevitable. But…when I became a mom that’s when I truly realized the value and power of these tools. I experienced a traumatic birth and it didn’t break me. In fact, while I faced low points with my mindset, I was thriving. I was able to work when I wanted, I had space and I was able to flow and adapt as needed.
And now that journey is a roadmap and comprehensive method for YOU to help end burnout for good and THRIVE in your life & Motherhood.
But you don’t have to take it all from me… Which of these results would you like the most?
program details
Embark on a personal growth journey to integrate, heal and create a resilient mindset and nervous system.
8 weeks of trainings, journaling exercises, guided meditations, and interactive exercises to help you EMBODY and integrate the work. The first half is designed to help you clear out space, so that you can bring in the new of what you DO want. Just like we would sell a car if we wanted to buy a new one to put in our garage.
The trainings will take you maximum of 1 hour a week and 60-90 minutes with the group integration work. (I created this course while nursing a 4-6 month old every 2 hours. I made it as effective and TIME friendly as possible for busy mama’s. You can watch as you do dishes, listen as you go for a walk or listen while you carpool the kids around.)
The group live calls will be at the same time & day each week so you can book a babysitter, ask for support from family or friends if needed and take some time for you.
Support - Live Q&A calls and coaching.
YFunctional Motherhood is designed to be an experience that is designed to work with your specific, unique and individualized needs.
The live group coaching calls are where we do the deeper healing and integration work together. This is where we release stored negative emotions, rewire limiting beliefs and have additional Q&A coaching calls.
When there are larger groups signed up for the course we create cohorts of 10 maximum so that you get the intimate time that feels like private coaching spaces. Here you are important, you are not just a number. You are seen. You are heard.
This is a deeply personalized and intentional space. Every single member has their own file. I know what you want to create in your life and over the next 8 weeks together, I know what challenges you’re facing, and I get to know each and every one of the you who are ready to create a new era of motherhood.
And the group experience? By the end of the 8 weeks you’ll wish you could keep the calls going. You gain the benefit of going through the group experience because as you speak to your challenges, celebrate your successes and transform personally, you also grow with the other women, too. Their transformation is also yours and you’ll grow so much faster as you learn alongside them.
Community
Each and every woman & mama who joins is a CONTRIBUTION to the growing community. YOU are what makes the community so special. This transformational experience is powerful because the women who choose to join care deeply about themselves, their kiddos, they dream BIG (or at least want to start!) and are here to push the limits of what’s possible. They KNOW there’s more to life than the mundane daily tasks and they’re ready to set themselves FREE. We also know what it’s like to go through life shattering, hard times and we know the value of having a community that is there. Truly we are better together.
Accountability
Through the 8 week group (the next one starts in November – & there will be some breaks for holidays – don’t worry, I’ve got you) you will have the accountability to go through the content, show up for the weekly calls and do the work.
We know this work is hard. We also know that parenting is hard and staying in your patterns that are currently not working may feel safe right now, but not changing something you have the power to change over the long term is way harder. You choose your hard.
Here we take action because we know that information without action, embodiment and integration means nothing.
What You’ll Learn:
How Your Values Dictate Your Parenting
I know you’re told that motherhood is selfless, here I want you to be selfISH. The reason, when your true inner values are not identified and therefore met, you will always lead with a seed of frustration, unfulfillment and doubt. When you put parenting before yourself, you’ll never be the parent you want to be (how much is left to pour when the cup is empty?)
Healing Mode Activated
Society has taught you that motherhood should be overwhelming. That the default is burnout and constant overstimulation. The side effects of living in this dysregulation not only leads to physical exhaustion but constant mental anxiety. When in reality, none of this is true. When you begin healing your central nervous system (aka the operating system behind your emotions) you’ll realize you have a choice to approach it all differently. This societal limitation gets to end with you.
BIG emotions don’t need BIG reactions
We uncover and clear The Big 6 Emotions to ensure that you’re not meeting your emotional kiddos with more emotion. Meaning you’re not reacting to a BIG feeling (your kid really wanted to stay at the park) with a tantrum of your own. It may feel like the emotion is being charged in that moment, when really it’s a tab you’ve left open for decades (here, we close them).
Just wait until you feel all that energy come back. What would have been an entire day being ruined by your child’s big feelings and your future moments robbed because you’re still venting about it to your friends days later, turns into a micro-moment you simply move through.
Clearing emotions so you’re not reacting emotionally
You’ll understand WHY your kiddos have BIG feelings and you’ll know exactly how to respond (without it triggering a complete emotional meltdown between you both that leaves you both wondering how you got there).
Here we master how to process your own emotions so that you can return to a neutral, calm state more quickly (rather than letting a moment derail your entire day and you’re still venting about it to your friends days later).
Mom Guilt? We don’t know her.
Taking personal responsibility is great, judging yourself for what you have done, could’ve done, should’ve done differently is a waste of time. Identifying and releasing the shame you have around not doing enough or being enough is giving you time BACK with your family. The brain calories you’re spending going back and forth is robbing your present moment with your child. This is a lose, lose for you and them. Mom guilt tells me you’re a good mom, you know this is one of the most important things you’ll ever do in your life. It’s time to release this defaulted mental interrogation you have with yourself.
You’ve Been Reborn, too
“I don’t know who I am anymore”. That’s true, you don’t. And it’s only because you haven’t met HER yet. Here we discover who she is, what she wants (and doesn’t), what she needs (and doesn’t). Full permission to release the old you and embrace the new you.
Who are you now?
You’ll no longer avoid and repress your desires, your needs and your emotions. You’ll learn how to express your emotions & needs in a way that doesn’t drench others in emotional chaos.
New You, Old Limitations
The growing pains are real. As you step into knowing yourself, your limitations and old defaulted patterning will make themselves more obvious. And the old you will tell the new you that she’s not good enough. Here we dive deeper into untangling what we might be bringing with us unconsciously into this next phase and understanding of ourself and our conditioning (learned survival behavior).
Clear false narratives and limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in your old patterns
You’ll understand why you keep defaulting to behaviors and patterns of how you “should” be as a mom (you know when you look in the mirror and say how terrible you look, just like your mom used to do…) and instead create the new patterns of your authentic expression of who you are & motherhood.
You’ll no longer feel torn between who you were and this new version of you that feels foreign and you don’t recognize.
You’ll no longer feel resentful of everyone else because you’ll embody loving yourself and prioritize doing more of what you want to do.
You’re doing great, trust yourself.
You’ve ignored yourself for so long, it’s hard to know what your inner voice sounds like. You know what society sounds like, your mom and even your great aunt Bertha – knowing and trusting YOU is the ultimate parent flex.
Your boundaries are inherited by your children.
Your regulation is inherited by your children.
Your ability to respond (not react) is inherited by your children.
The support you allow yourself to have is inherited by your children.
The love you have for yourself is inherited by your children.
You are their greatest example. And she’s now doing great.
This is entirely built for YOU to decide and determine what it looks like for YOU to thrive (not how I, or your extended family, the patriarchy, or anyone on the internet says it *should* look like).

Frequently Asked Questions
If I join Now when is the next live group?
The next live group starts in November. Calls are TBD as for each cohort I find a time that works for everyone in that cohort. I haven’t once had a group where we couldn’t find a time that worked for everyone.
The best part is you don’t have to wait. You can join today and access the emotional processing, nervous system regulation tools and trainings inside the course. You can also upgrade to private coaching which gets you access to 4 private 1:1 calls where we do the deep subconscious inner work that we do in our live group sessions. Then, you also get automatically enrolled in the next live group experience at no extra cost to you. We know that there is always more work to do, so when you join the private coaching and go through the live group experience you get 5x the opportunities to breakthrough and rewire your mind for what you want to create. That’s a win win!
I don't have a lot of time... Is this possible for me?
Only you know your schedule and I KNOW being a mom is busy at any stage. There is a live group coaching call that is 60-90 minutes each week. And each week there are additional trainings, content and exercises, which are about an additional 60 minutes. However; these can be spread out and listened to when you go out for walks, as you’re nursing your kiddo, as you’re commuting or doing chores around the house. If you KNOW, if you can feel that gut feeling or that inner knowing that this course if for you, don’t let time be the reason you don’t join.
Can I have my kids with me?
Yes of course, we are all mama’s. In fact, it’s possible mine will show up from time to time. The exercises will still WORK even if you get interrupted.
When do i get access to the content?
Right away! As soon as you sign up you’ll get access to the prework and each week the content will be dripped to you week by week.
How long do I have access to the content?
You have lifetime access to the content. All new updates of the program, everything. If for any reason the course will be taken down, you will be notified and have 60 days to download the videos for your own use.
Where are the live calls held?
All the live calls are held over zoom. As soon as you sign up you will receive an email within an hour of submitting your information with the links and everything you’ll need to access the zoom group coaching calls and the course. If you don’t receive the email please email [email protected].
What if i don't have facebook?
Totally understand this. For now, we have found Facebook groups to be the best platform for hosting the community aspect of this course. If you prefer not to have Facebook, you will miss the community part of the course. We have had members of our courses make a Facebook account just for this use.
Can you guarantee my success?
We do not guarantee anyone’s success; however, we take the perspective and believe that in everything we do we get something out of it. In addition to that, we also take personal responsibility for our results knowing that it is up to us to get results out of everything we do.
Can I join if I'm Pregnant or not yet pregnant?
YES. In fact, I highly recommend doing the deep work now and adding all the tools I teach you inside this course to your toolbox. So many women that have done the work before getting into motherhood tell me ALL THE TIME how glad they are that they had these tools when they became a mom.
There is so much focus on labor, baby and pregnancy… but after your 6-8 week check up that’s all you get. Yet you go through one of the biggest life changes during your first year postpartum. Mom’s NEED support.
By getting the tools now, before kiddo gets here, you’ll have so many amazing tools to use when you need it the most.
