Moms who found their chill with art as therapy.

  • "I have never felt comfortable expressing myself artistically. Pushing through those feelings of inadequacy with Kayla's guidance and putting my emotions on paper has helped me to see myself in a more clear and compassionate light."

  • "I love the Motherload. I especially love that I'm getting to know the other women and bond with them. Because of the Motherload, I take more time to focus on my feelings and process them. And I have more tools to do so."

    Angeline, mom of a highly sensitive daughter

  • "I enjoyed the opportunity to connect with other Moms. I LOVE the journal prompts, and I appreciated the guided meditation. Because of the mom rage workshop, I look at my anger differently - not in the context of good or bad, but of what it's trying to direct my attention to and not let it build up."

    Nicole, mom of three

  • "This workshop is worth every penny. It's therapy, art, and community connection, all bundled into a perfect three hours. Because of The Motherload, I value and prioritize my need for artistic expression. I will do this again and again as long as it is available!"

    Sage, mom of two

  • "As a new mother, I felt overwhelmed, underappreciated & completely exhausted. I registered for this because I am a creative person; however, after giving birth, I found very little time for it. I started the first session with an open but apprehensive heart. I was completely & utterly blown away. Kayla guided us with grace & steadfastness. Her ability to lead a group of weary parents was astonishing. The equal opportunities for creativity, meditation, discussion & playfulness brought me into a safe and comfortable space. This group taught me that I'm strong enough to stand on my own while still being able to ask for help."

    Rebecca, two under two

  • "Working one-on-one with Kayla creates an oasis moment when my voice is heard, and my feelings are valid. Then she helps me move forward in my personal process."

    Kendra, mom of two

  • "Kayla's group was an amazing experience. She allowed me to feel less alone with my struggles as a first mom, as well as healing when motherhood was not what I expected. Kayla embraced the dark, the scary and walked with you into the light. I am so grateful for her and the women I met in this group."

    Anonymous mom, 8 weeks postpartum

  • "Kayla often says 'Be gentle on yourself'. That really stuck with me, and I say it to myself daily. I genuinely learned to be kinder and more patient with myself and have been able to practice that."

    Danielle

  • “Not your typical mom group! I love the intimacy of the Flourish group and how we focus on a new topic each week. The discussions, mindfulness, art and journal questions really helped me focus on taking care of myself in motherhood. Kayla is incredible, and I am so glad I could do this group with her."

    Michelle, FTM

  • "I started seeing Kayla as a regular counsellor after I was diagnosed with Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder by my doctor. I started medication and counselling during pregnancy and continued through postpartum. I don't feel like I'm drowning; when I cry, I know the tears will stop. Real creative self-care has been the first line of defence when coping with PPD. I've found what works for me! There's a way out; what you're going through isn't forever."

    Bre, 30 weeks pregnant

  • "Being a part of this group was an essential part of my journey into discovering who I am as a mom. It helped me to feel supported and validated many of my worries, fears and frustrations as a new mom. I feel blessed to have been part of this group of strong, honest, amazing women."

    Karen, neurodivergent first-time mom

  • "My sessions with Kayla are different from other counsellors I have seen; she cares, listens & she knows me. This type of work is invaluable in a society that pressures women to be perfect; she invites you to be vulnerable while exploring yourself in a nonjudgmental & safe environment. During every session, I am learning something new about myself. She often has practical quotes, pieces of wisdom, songs to listen to, or books to explore to help with whatever I am struggling with. My life has changed in a priceless way."
