What is the Mother Wound?
Mother Wound is a term used to describe the emotional and psychological scars that can develop in a person's relationship with their mother. It encompasses the negative impact of various experiences, such as neglect, emotional abuse, unmet needs, and unrealistic expectations, which can lead to feelings of unworthiness, inadequacy, and other emotional challenges.
It often affects your self-esteem, ability to form healthy relationships, and overall well-being. These wounds profoundly impact our lives and are deeply intertwined with our attachment styles, which are fundamental patterns of relating to ourselves, others and the world at large.
Is this you right now?
Would you like to have...
Confidence and self-worth
A stronger sense of self
Healthier relationships
Better boundaries in your relationships
Self-compassion when you make a mistake
Motivation to change your life
More peace and feel less anxious
This is why willpower is not enough to change you.
The conscious mind alone can't change behaviours and limiting beliefs because these are deeply embedded in the subconscious, which operates automatically and powerfully influences thoughts and behaviours.
Real change requires getting to the root cause of the behaviour and limiting beliefs.
Accessing and reprogramming the subconscious, where these ingrained patterns reside, is what I can help you do.

I use a combination of these methods to give you a bespoke trauma-informed coaching experience
Somatic Practices
I use body-centred therapies and exercises that enhance your mind-body connection. These practices emphasize awareness of physical sensations and bodily experiences to promote healing and well-being. They are particularly valuable in addressing trauma, as they help you reconnect with your body and process emotions that are often stored in the body. Trauma, especially childhood trauma, can leave a deep imprint on your body.
Somatic practices work by:
- Increasing body awareness: Helping you become more attuned to physical sensations.
- Releasing stored tension and trauma: Assisting in releasing chronic muscle tension and the emotional energy stored in the body.
- Promoting relaxation and calm: Encouraging states of relaxation and reducing stress responses.
- Fostering a sense of safety and grounding: Helping you feel more present and secure in your body
Neuro-Linguistic Programming
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a psychological framework that explores how language and neurological processes influence behaviours and patterns learned from experience. It is designed to help you improve communication, overcome challenges, and achieve personal and professional goals by understanding and altering your thoughts and behaviours.
Here are some of the benefits of NLP:
Empowerment: NLP empowers you by providing tools to change your responses to traumatic memories.
- Emotional Regulation: Techniques like anchoring and reframing help manage and regulate your emotional responses.
- Positive Outlook: Reframing and visualization encourage a more positive and constructive view of the past and your future.
- Increased Control: NLP helps you gain a sense of control over your internal experiences, reducing feelings of helplessness associated with trauma.
Root Cause Therapy
Root Cause Therapy (RCT) is a therapeutic approach that helps you heal from trauma by identifying and addressing the underlying causes of your emotional and psychological distress. Unlike therapies that only manage symptoms, RCT goes into the core traumatic events and associated suppressed emotions and beliefs. Facilitating emotional release, transforming negative beliefs, and empowering you with a deeper understanding of your experiences provides relief and supports your development of healthier coping mechanisms and enhanced self-awareness.
Here are some benefits of RCT:
- Deep Healing: Addresses the fundamental causes of trauma, leading to profound and long-term recovery.
- Emotional Relief: Provides avenues for releasing deeply held emotions, reducing the burden of emotional distress.
- Improved Mental Health: Alleviates symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other trauma-related issues by resolving their root causes.
- Enhanced Self-Awareness: Promotes a deeper understanding of oneself and the origins of one’s trauma.
- Better Coping Mechanisms: Develop healthier ways of responding to triggers and stressors linked to past trauma.
What My Clients Say
Wow!!!
I have been working with Marisa, and I am amazed. I'm quite skeptical of most therapies, but I wanted to try Root Cause Therapy and wasn't disappointed. Marisa was very gentle and eased me into it carefully, the amount of depth to discover my limiting beliefs was an eye opener! I've tried many therapies and this one looks like it could be the "one" to help me.

I'm speechless!
After the first session, I feel light and attuned to the present moment. There's no worry or nervousness like I had before the session. It helps me clear my thoughts. I'm now energetic, I have the can do attitude. Marisa is thoughtful and understanding, and I feel very safe to share and show my vulnerability. Such an amazing session!

Compassionate & gentle
Her encouragement to dig deeper and her full-on focus on the client during her sessions created a safe space to explore patterns in my life. With her guidance, I am finding a new sense of empowerment, a brighter outlook on the future and a more forgiving outlook on the past. I highly recommend Marisa to anyone on a personal growth self-discovery journey.
