You've known for a while something needs to shift.
This is the support you've been waiting for to make that a reality.
You've been doing your best
Even after everything you've tried, maybe you're the mom who snaps.
Or maybe you're the mom who manages to barely hold it together through willpower.
And maybe you're both, depending on the week. The day. The hour.
Neither version feels like peace. Neither version feels like you're actually fully present. And the joy you imagined this season of life would hold (the joy you're still hoping for) keeps getting pushed just out of reach.
Introducing Embodied Moms
A group program for neurodivergent moms who have been barely surviving for years and are ready for the stability, the skills, and the right support to feel like themselves again. To move through motherhood on their own terms. To break patterns that nothing else has been able to touch. Because, no matter how hard they’ve tried, they haven't had the right container yet.
How the Program Works
You can choose between six or twelve months' access to a library of materials in video, audio, and written form. Content for understanding what's happening in your nervous system and why, alongside content for practicing, implementing, and building something new. Including follow-along somatic work and tools you can return to between calls, in your own practice and in the ordinary moments of your day when you need it most.
The group calls happen twice a month for the first 3 months and run 60 to 90 minutes. Each one has four components, though how much time we spend on each adapts to what the group needs that day. We open with grounding and somatic practice. We make space to celebrate wins and mistakes, because both are vital and belong here. We go deeper into the program content and work through questions submitted in advance. And we do individual coaching for the moms who feel called to it.
You will never be required to speak or share. Witnessing counts. Showing up and letting yourself be in the room counts. The group doing the work together has value whether or not you say a word.
The material covers what actually comes up for neurodivergent moms.
- The exhaustion of never being able to fully be yourself. And learning, slowly, to find more spaces where you can.
- The way your kid's feelings hit you so hard they almost feel like your own, and what to do with that.
- Getting things done without running yourself into the ground every time.
-
Letting yourself actually rest without the guilt that usually comes with it.
Learning to hear what your body is telling you and trust it enough to respond. - Building small rituals that make the hard transitions of the day a little more survivable.
And underneath all of it, getting better at knowing the difference between who you actually are and who your nervous system is making you be right now. And finding your way back to yourself when you've drifted.
Your one 50-minute 1:1 call with me is yours to use however feels right. Some women use it early to get oriented. Others save it for a moment when they need more private support. There's no wrong way to use it.
"I spent so many years comparing myself to others. I didn't realize I was doing it... It's like being submerged underwater in some illusion and then coming up for air and just seeing all the light everywhere."
— A.P.
Why This Works When Other Things Haven't
There's a gap that neurodivergent women fall into, between understanding something and actually feeling or experiencing it in the body. The mind is remarkably good at filling that gap in. Especially our minds who have been masking and compensating for most of our lives. Good enough that it can convince you that processing is happening when, underneath, your body hasn't moved at all.
I worked with a therapist once who had spent twenty years receiving talk therapy. She understood her own patterns with real precision and intelligence. What she discovered, working with me, was that she hadn't actually felt her feelings or processed her experiences in all that time. Her mind had been doing such a thorough job of explaining and analyzing everything that her body had never needed to show up for it.
Talk therapy works from the top down, and it has its place. Embodied Moms works from the bottom up. You need to feel to heal, but you don't need to relive something to shift it.
Most programs lose neurodivergent women in one of two places. Either the work stays in the mind. Knowledge, insights and breakthroughs that feel real in the moment and don't translate into lasting change. Or the work moves faster than the nervous system can safely follow, which tips eventually into overwhelm and burnout. This program builds capacity and stability first, so that when the deeper processing and expansion happen, there's somewhere solid to hold them.
This program was also created by a neurodivergent mom with over a decade of experience in both coaching and mothering. Someone who understands this terrain from the inside, who knows where the gaps between understanding and integration tend to hide, and whose work is to find exactly where the real work is and do it with you.
For many of the women I coach, it's the first healing space where they've felt genuinely seen without having to explain themselves first. Where they haven't had to translate their experience into something more palatable or easier to understand. For a nervous system that has spent years carefully managing how it's perceived, being in a room where they can feel safe enough to stop is a game changer.
What to expect in terms of results depends on your nervous system and what it's ready for. Some women plant seeds here that take months to fully emerge. Others notice big shifts more quickly. The program holds both, with an emphasis on integration and lasting change rather than breakthroughs that fade back into old patterns.
The first things most women notice tend to be quieter than they expected. A little less shame. A little more ease. Starting to catch themselves in the moment instead of only recognizing it after the fact. Feeling slightly safer to be themselves in small moments. A lightness that comes from beginning to set down things they've been carrying for a long time (pressures, beliefs, expectations, patterns) some of which they didn't fully realize they were still holding so tightly. Some of which they'd been trying to release for years, and are finally able to.
That's where it starts. A settling. The sense that something is finally beginning to move.
Real moms like you
As a single mom and nurse, Nadia spent all of her time taking care of others.
"Taking care of other people, that just gets priority every day on repeat. And so it's hard to interrupt that pattern that doesn't feel good. That's kind of how I felt stuck."
She wanted to build something different. An intentional home that felt cozy and connected.
"I wouldn't be just like, ping-ponging around randomly, trying to like, somehow make our life better by cleaning this or putting that away or fretting about something or getting on my phone. My kids, in a way, would have more access to me, because I would just be. And I think I could enjoy that. Enjoy time with them from a space where I didn't feel preoccupied by whatever imaginary or real fire I thought I needed to put out right that second."
Maya constantly felt the full weight of everyone else's needs.
"For the last four years, since having a child, anytime I sit down, like I'm being asked to be touched, to get something for them, to go make them something, or the dog wants attention. I haven't had a moment where, even when I lay down to go to sleep, my husband wants attention, and it's just like everybody has so many needs all the time."
She was exhausted from trying to give her kids a safer, more regulated childhood than the one she grew up with.
"I want to be a better mom to my children than my parents were. I think that's really important for me to not get dysregulated when they are dysregulated...What I've gone through is not normal, and getting here has been really, really hard."
You didn't choose this. And you don't have to pass it on.
The nervous system you're working with right now (the one that gets dysregulated, that can't rest, that tips over when your kid tips over) wasn't something you intentionally created.
You inherited it. In the form of epigenetics passed down from your biological parents and in the form of coping mechanisms and patterns from the environment you were raised in.
And now those same mechanisms are running in the background of your parenting. Because, even though you have worked really hard to understand and change it, your nervous system is still operating from the same original instructions. And awareness alone has never been enough to rewrite them.
This is what cycle-breaking actually means. Changing the default instead of relying on knowledge and willpower. So when you're exhausted, when your kid is dysregulated, when everything is loud and too much, you don’t fall back on the old patterns or burn yourself out fighting against them.
It's something new. Something sustainable and grounded your kids can take with them through their lives.
"So many neurodivergent women are already pushing their capacity just to get through the day, just to meet expectations. And then when you have a kid and those expectations — the demands on your mental capacity, on your mental load — increase, the coping mechanisms that were working for them more or less before suddenly start to not be working anymore."
- Elizabeth LeForest
The gap between awareness and change
You are smart, sensitive, and self aware. You probably already know a lot about the connection between your childhood experiences and your daily life. You may have done years of therapy. Read all the books. Implemented dozens of attempts to change the patterns.
And when your kid is dysregulated and you're dysregulated and the kitchen is a disaster, none of it is accessible.
That's not a failure of effort or understanding. Your nervous system doesn't run on information. It runs on felt safety in your body. Something you have rarely experienced. You can't think your way into that. You can only build it.
As a neurodivergent woman, you were already pushing your capacity before kids arrived. The coping mechanisms that were barely working (that relied on energy and willpower) stopped working. And the things that you used to fit in, to meet expectations, to hold it together are no longer accessible when you're this stretched. Your nervous system isn't available to try something new when it's using everything it has just to keep you upright.
All of your tools and approaches need the solid foundation of safety in the body to be accessible and effective. You can't think your way into that. You can only build it with the right support.
"I'm learning to co-regulate myself so that then I can parent them and now I get to parent them however I parent. It's like I don't have that voice anymore that says you have to parent them this way."

"I used to swallow my joy because I felt like other people's pain is too loud and I couldn't be as joyful as I want to be in the presence of others' pain. That's not how we're meant to live."
— R.D.
From masking to modelling
S.T. is a single mom of 3 who was going through a high conflict divorce.
She said her energy was "scattered and blasting in all directions." She struggled to get things done because of her own expectations, perfectionism, and inner critic.
And felt near constant guilt and shame about not parenting the way she wanted to.
Through this work, she realized that she was always masked when she was around her kids because her own big feelings didn't feel safe, and she believed she had to be "strong" for them.
As her capacity to hold, process, and move through her own feelings increased, she realized her kids didn't need to see her holding it together or exploding all the time. They needed to see her model the skills she was learning.
When she felt safe enough to start doing that, she saw an immediate shift for both her and her kids.
"I feel less fearful. My brain used to shut down with doing things the right way. Now I just do them even if they're not quite right." - S.T.
"I feel louder than I did when we started this work. Like louder in all the ways. I wear what's comfortable when I want, and I wear the loudest thing that I want when I want. I parent my kids at times with a fierce lion because they need it, and other times I just hold them close and snuggle them."
— S.T.
Embodied Moms is for you if:
-
- You have kids of any age that you are mothering
- You identify as neurodivergent — diagnosed, self-identified, or suspected
- You're willing to go slowly. This work takes time to integrate and shift which is why the materials are available beyond the 3 month window
-
This Is Not For You If:
- You're in acute mental or physical health crisis and need a different form of support right now
- You're looking for parenting strategies or behavior management tools
- You want a program you can move through quickly, check boxes, and call it a day
- You want to learn about theories and ideas without actually implementing and taking aligned action
- Group spaces of any size don't feel safe to you (you are welcome to reach out to me about doing this work in a 1:1 setting)
"A woman who knows herself, trusts herself, and stops shrinking so other people are more comfortable is not a small thing. The ripple effects reach her family, her relationships, the work she's here to do."

Meet Your Coach
I’m Elizabeth — a highly sensitive, AuDHD woman, mother, and certified yoga instructor and Trauma Informed Somatic Life Coach.
I recovered from two years of being bedridden with extreme burnout, ME/CFS, and POTS — not by forcing my way back to productivity, but by learning how to work with my nervous system instead of against it.
In the last 10 years, I’ve coached hundreds of neurodivergent humans, trained in multiple coaching modalities, including wellness, mindset, creativity, high‑performance and executive functioning — and then wove all that experience into something that actually works for neurodivergent women.
I spend my spare time looking at old buildings online, traveling with my 10 year old, thrifting, or cuddling my cat while I learn something new and shiny.
Is This the Right Time?
You've probably said this to yourself before. When things settle down. When the kids are in a better rhythm. When I have more capacity for this kind of thing.
Sometimes that season does arrive. And when it does, you're so exhausted from the push to get there that you just want to stay in what feels good. The harder parts are out of sight, out of mind. Without that urgency, nothing actually changes. The wheel keeps turning. And before too long, you're back in the thick of it.
The best time to end the cycle isn't when things are at their worst, and it isn't when they finally ease up. It's now, whatever now looks like for you.
Your nervous system patterns, the ones that came from your mother and hers before her, are already in the room with your kids. Because that's how it works until someone does the deep work to change it. The patterns don't wait for a convenient moment to pass down. Neither does the work of stopping them.
Your kids are growing up right now. So are you. The version of you that's spacious enough to actually be present in a moment with them, steady enough to be the regulated nervous system they borrow from, with the capacity to hold all the experiences? She becomes accessible through this work.
FAQs
What does a group call actually look like?
Each group call will be shaped by moms within the group. There will be four main components of each call.
Co-regulation, somatic practices and grounding.
Celebration of wins and mistakes.
Deeper learning of the program's content, answering any pre-submitted questions.
Individual coaching for the moms who volunteer.
How much time we spend in each of those is adaptable to the needs of the group. While sharing, connecting, and being witnessed is an important part of the program, you will never be forced to speak or contribute.
Group calls will be 60-90 minutes depending on group size.
Do I need a formal neurodivergent diagnosis?
No. Receiving a formal diagnosis can be a huge investment of time, energy, and money. There are many reasons that someone may choose not pursue (or have access to) a formal diagnosis. And for the work I do, it isn't necessary. If you resonate deeply with the experience of other neurodivergent and sensitive women, you are welcome in this space.
What if I miss a call?
The group calls will be recorded and shared with the group via email within 48 hours of the call. If you miss a scheduled 1:1 call, please email me about rescheduling.
What is ANS Foundations?
ANS Foundations is self study program for recovering from autonomic nervous system dysfunction, burnout, and chronic illnesses related to the nervous system. It focuses primarily on building the understanding, skills, and actions to build a strong foundation of physical health that supports the deeper work we do in Embodied Moms.
Three months access to ANS Foundations is included as a bonus with The Sapling option of Embodied Moms.
Who has access to call recordings?
Only members of Embodied Moms will get the links to the group call recordings.
I'm in a really hard season. Is this still a good fit?
It depends. Only you can ultimately decide this. I often see that feeling of being in a hard season used as a reason to avoid the very thing that will make life easier in the future. But there are certain situation where I would recommend a different level of support.
If you are actively in burnout or chronic illness flare, I recommend starting with more hands on and customized support.
Seen and Supported sessions are 1:1 calls that focus more on triage and creating stability. While ANS Foundations helps with physical recovery and skill building.
Sacred Creatrix is my long term 1:1 container for healers, creatives, and moms where we work our way all the way from stabilizing to processing and then expanding. Much of the work in Embodied Moms is done within Sacred Creatrix for my mom clients. But that container allows us to customize to your exact needs and pace, and build from the foundation up.
If you aren't sure, you can email me (elizabethleforest@gmail.com) to ask about your specific circumstances. Embodied Moms is designed to be deep transformational work. And even if it is ultimately the right fit for you, it may be helpful to start with a different form of support as you move through this hard season.
What is all of my kids are grown?
Embodied Moms is all about you. The work we do will impact every area of your life and allow you to show up with more peace, presence and joy regardless of how old your kids are. The challenges of having grown kids are different. But the skills to more fully inhabit your authentic self will serve you at every stage.
What is my kids are adopted/step/bonus?
The women who have had the biggest positive impact on my life were not my biological mother. They should up with kindness, curiosity, and modeled authentic confidence and self-acceptance in ways that literally changed the way I saw and experienced the world. This program is first and foremost about you stepping into your own embodiment and secondly about the impact that has on whatever kids are in your life now and in the future.
What's your refund or cancellation policy?
Both the Embodied Moms group program and the optional added support of three group calls have a 7 day refund policy.
If you change your mind for whatever reason, you can email me within 7 days of purchase for a full refund. There is no refund available after that 7 day window.
