Your Calm is the Key to Their Calm
When your child is melting down,
your nervous system is too.
I’m Ellen, and I help adoptive and foster moms reset their nervous systems so they can parent from calm instead of survival mode.
I get it —
because I’ve lived it.
I know what it’s like to be an adoptive mom — the guilt, exhaustion, the feeling that no one really understands. I also know what it’s like to search for answers and find that most advice doesn’t touch the real problem: your nervous system.
That’s why I trained in neuroscience-based therapies like BWRT® and Somatic Experiencing®. I combine my professional expertise with my lived experience to help moms like you move out of survival mode and into calm, confidence, and connection.
This isn’t about “fixing” your child. It’s about supporting *you* — because when your nervous system resets, everything changes.
Parenting as an adoptive or foster mom isn’t the same as “ordinary” parenting. The truth is, love alone doesn’t erase trauma — and no matter how much you give, you can still feel exhausted, guilty, and at breaking point.
When you understand what’s happening in your nervous system, real change becomes possible — and lasting calm stops feeling out of reach.
That’s exactly what my sessions are designed to help you experience. Whether you’re just starting to explore this work or ready to dive deeper, there’s a simple next step waiting for you.

Why Start With You, Not Your Child?
It’s natural to want to fix things for your child – but their nervous system takes its cues from yours. When you’re stuck in survival mode, they feel it. When you’re calmer, they can settle too. That’s why the first step is supporting you, so your child can thrive through your calm.
