About this event

Reflect. Reconnect. Release. Reclaim.

A Six-Week Therapeutic Group for Mothers

Because you are so much more than a mom.

Motherhood is beautiful, rewarding, exhausting, overwhelming, and sometimes all of those things at once. Somewhere between caring for everyone else, managing schedules, and meeting the needs of your family, it's easy to lose touch with the woman you are outside of motherhood. More Than Mom is a welcoming, supportive six-week therapeutic group designed to help mothers reconnect with themselves, build meaningful friendships, and create space for their own emotional well-being.

☕ Bring your favorite coffee or snack and join us for a little moment of connection, just for us moms! We also have an amazing tea bar you're welcome to enjoy while you settle in, unwind, and connect with other women who understand this season of life.

This isn't another thing on your to-do list. It's an hour each week that's just for YOU. Together, we'll explore identity, maternal guilt, boundaries, generational patterns, nervous system regulation, and what it means to rediscover yourself while embracing motherhood.

🌸 Our Six Weekly Themes

Week 1: Who Am I Outside of Motherhood?

Reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been placed on the back burner. Explore your identity beyond being a mother, partner, caregiver, or professional.

Week 2: Understanding Maternal Guilt

Explore the pressure to do it all, the expectations we place on ourselves, and how to release guilt while honoring our own needs.

Week 3: Breaking Generational Patterns

Recognize the emotional patterns, beliefs, and parenting responses passed down through generations. Learn how to create healthier patterns for yourself and your family.

Week 4: Boundaries Without Guilt

Discover how to communicate your needs, protect your energy, and establish healthy boundaries without feeling selfish or responsible for everyone else's emotions.

Week 5: Reconnecting With Your Body and Identity

Explore the connection between your nervous system, emotions, and sense of self. Practice slowing down, becoming more present, and feeling at home in your body again.

Week 6: Becoming the Woman You Want to Be

Reflect on your growth, reconnect with your passions and values, and create an intentional vision for the next chapter of your life.

♡ Meet Your Group Guide: Dawn Hanzie, MA, LPC

Psychotherapist | Somatic & Relational Therapy | Maternal & Postpartum Mental Health

Dawn is a compassionate psychotherapist who is passionate about helping mothers, adults, couples, and families reconnect with themselves and one another. Her therapeutic approach integrates somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, attachment-based work, and meaningful emotional connection. She understands how motherhood, burnout, identity shifts, and the demands of everyday life can leave women feeling disconnected from themselves. Dawn believes that healing happens not only through understanding our experiences but also through creating a sense of safety, connection, and self-compassion.

Through More Than Mom , her goal is to create a warm, judgment-free space where mothers can feel seen, supported, and empowered to rediscover who they are beyond the roles they fulfill.
