What Is Really Getting In the Way of Taking Care of Yourself?

2/6/2020

Most moms I work with see the connection between their own self-care and the energy and presence they have to give their children, partners, work and other important things and people in their lives. ⠀
⠀
But there's still a block. Your life is FULL. Chock-a-block with raising children, taking care of the house and all the emotional labour that comes along with motherhood, and possibly working outside the home too. I get it, I really do. My life feels super full, too. You're exhausted and it's hard to find the energy to get to a yoga class or go for a run or cook a healthy meal. I understand. I feel that way sometimes too. ⠀

Saying No! to Martyrdom and Yes! to Counting Yourself In

8/22/2017

It’s so easy to become a martyr mom. Your baby is born and then it’s like you forget about yourself…

Shower? When you can fit it in.


Make-up? What’s that?


Doing the things you used to love that bring you joy. Huh? No longer part of your vocabulary.


Does this sound like you? It’s all too common to focus entirely on your baby and forget you have needs too.

    Katherine Aucoin, 
    Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)

    Welcome! My name is Katherine and I'm a counsellor and a mother of two lively and lovable little boys. 

    Motherhood can be ridiculously hard. Maybe the hardest thing you've ever done!  Motherhood has a way of forcing you to face your own "stuff": your childhood wounds, your pain from the past, your perceived limitations. But it's also a ripe opportunity to grow and evolve yourself!  And that benefits you, your children, even future generations. Are you ready? ​❤️
