FIND the way back to YOU

(Mom Guilt Need Not Apply)

Creative counselling and resilience-building coping tools
for do-it-all moms longing to feel calm, capable,
and connected to themselves again.

1:1 THERAPY

Because running on fumes with 147 tabs open isn’t sustainable - or cute.
It’s time to close a few tabs and…

SLOW the F down so you can CALM the F down

REACT less and RESPOND more

FIND your resilience in the margins of motherhood

You’re not failing at motherhood.

The Impossible Standards of Modern Parenting

thrive on urgency, self-sacrifice, and hyper-vigilance - and the fantasy that if you just invest now, you’ll be rewarded later.

It whispers that you’re one more parenting book away from feeling like a “good” mom.
That if you just try harder, care more, or get the routine just right, you’ll finally feel calm… in control… enough.

But it’s a trap.

It’s designed to keep you scrolling, second-guessing, and self-abandoning -
collapsing at 8pm, doom-scrolling parenting memes that hit a little too close to home.
All while wondering: Is it supposed to feel this hard?

And I call bullshit.

Imagine what your days (and nights) would look like if you felt more like YOU

Your mind feels quiet(ish). Like, one-tab-open kind of quiet.

  • You’re parenting from your values and intuition, not just reacting to stressors.

  • You know how to regulate your emotions and nervous system without a three day retreat (though, wouldn’t that be nice?).

  • You feel less ragey, less anxious, and more like you.

It’s not perfect. But it’s peaceful enough that you can finally exhale.

(And maybe, even laugh at the chaos while it unfolds.)

Hey there, mama! I’m Kayla

a creative counsellor, coach, and ADHD mom who’s been on the edge of the same burnout cliff you’re standing on.

I’ve had the intrusive thoughts. The overstimulation. The silent sobs in the laundry room while the pasta water boils.

But I’ve also found a way through that doesn’t require becoming a mindfulness monk or giving up Netflix.

Through therapeutic art, messy nervous system work, and some soul-deep self-compassion, I help moms like you reconnect with your actual needs - not just your to-do list.

You don’t need to be fixed.
You need tools, space, and someone who gets it.

Release the burden of "doing it all" and feel lighter as you tap into your authentic self, starting now.

1:1 Expressive Arts Therapy for Healing and Self-Discovery

Let’s get one thing straight: you don’t need to be an “artist”. You just need to be human. 

Expressive Arts Therapy is about using creativity as a tool to process emotions, build resilience, and explore your inner world.

Whether through art, movement, or storytelling, this therapeutic approach helps you navigate the complexities of motherhood and reconnect with the person you are underneath it all.

The Motherload Membership: A Brave Space for Moms

This isn’t your typical mom support group.

The Motherload Membership is a judgment-free zone where millennial moms can:

  • Lay down the mental load and feel seen for who they are.

  • Tap into creativity as a way to heal and grow.

  • Connect with a community of like-minded mothers who truly get it.

What others say about working with me:

  • ❤︎

    I’ve never felt comfortable expressing myself artistically, always held back by feelings of inadequacy. With Kayla’s guidance, I pushed through that discomfort and allowed myself to put my emotions on paper. In doing so, I’ve started to see myself with more clarity and compassion than ever before.

    M.B., mom to a seven year old and a baby

  • ❤︎

    As an anxious millennial mom with my brain always in overdrive, I never made space for myself. Working 1:1 with Kayla gave me exactly what I needed - her soothing conversations and art-making helped me feel seen and heard. Now, life feels lighter, and I’m making time for creativity instead of stressing about getting it right.

    A.P., mom to an 18month old

  • ❤︎

    Sharing with other moms who get it makes everything feel a little lighter - like we’re sharing the burden together. This workshop reminded me how much I need creativity in my week. I can’t wait to keep coming back and connecting with this amazing Motherload group!

    D.O., working mom of three

  • ❤︎

    I especially loved the guided meditation, the space to create a collage, and the chance to connect with other moms - it was exactly what I needed.

    N.M., mom of one highly sensitive daughter

  • ❤︎

    This workshop helped me reconnect with parts of myself I didn't even realize I'd lost - some I unintentionally let go of, others I intentionally numbed out. Kayla created a space where I could gently uncover them again, and I’m so excited to keep exploring with her!

    S.L., mom of three under five

  • ❤︎

    Because of my time with Kayla, I’m now taking more time to focus on my feelings and really process them. I also have more tools to help me do that.

    A.H., stay at home mom
