There’s still time to gather before the year ends.

Is anyone else feeling how much this year has held?

As we move toward the end of 2026, we’re making space for something we think we could all use a little more of: connection, curiosity, and the chance to show up as we are.

We have two opportunities to gather before the year ends:

🍂 November 12–13 | New York City

An opportunity to slow down, connect, and explore the parts of ourselves that motherhood brings to life, together, IRL

🌿 December 7–8 | Virtual Mom Parts + KAP Experiential

An intimate, clinician-focused experience of the Mom Parts Method + ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP).

Less about learning another protocol. More about experiencing the work from the inside out, with space for preparation, exploration, and integration.

Different ways of gathering.
Different experiences.
The same underlying invitation:

You don’t have to leave any of your parts at the door.

Whether you’re a mom, a practitioner supporting moms, or both, we would love to find ourselves in community with you before the year is over.

Why the Mom Parts Method + KAP? 🌿

Because motherhood brings so many parts of us to the surface. And those parts deserve more than another invitation to change, fix, or overcome themselves.

The Mom Parts Method offers a compassionate map for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP):

✨ Notice & Name
Recognize and name the parts that show up.

🌿 Get Curious & Validate
Understand what each part is carrying, protecting, or longing for.

♥️ Offer a Remedy
Explore what that part might need to feel supported, seen, and understood.

When we bring this framework into KAP, something meaningful becomes possible.

We can support unblending.
Noticing when a Mom Part takes over, without needing to push it away.

We can honor protectors.
Approaching protective parts with curiosity, consent, and respect for their pacing.

We can reconnect with Inner Mom.
KAP may create space to access the compassionate, grounded presence we call Inner Mom (similar to Self in IFS), while remaining attuned to the parts protecting us from grief, shame, and vulnerability.

And this isn’t just about what happens during a medicine session.

The Mom Parts Method offers a way to support the entire KAP journey: preparation, dosing, and integration.

Because the goal isn’t to get rid of our parts.

It’s to build a different relationship with them.

Ever feel like more than one mom?

One part is working overtime trying to get motherhood right.

Responsible. Caretaker. Perfectionist. Superwoman.

And then there are the parts you might wish weren’t there.

Angry. Resentful. Frustrated. Numbing. Rage.

In When Good Moms Feel Bad, Jessica Tomich Sorci introduces us to two teams that can find themselves at war inside us.

Team Kid: Keep the kids safe. Be a good mom. Don’t mess this up.

Team What About Mom?!: I’m exhausted. I’m overwhelmed. What about ME?!

And around and around we go in the Good Mom/Bad Mom Loop.

But there’s another possibility.

Your Inner Mom can get curious about what each part is carrying, what it’s afraid of, and what it’s trying to protect.

Not every behavior is okay. But every part deserves curiosity and care.

This November, we’re coming together in NYC to explore the parts motherhood brings to life.

🌻 November 12 — Clinicians & Practitioners
🌻 November 13 — Moms

Come meet your Mom Parts.

All Mom Parts Are Welcome Here.

Coming up next week: Brainspotting-Informed KAP

Join me for a live, practical exploration of how Brainspotting can support KAP preparation, medicine experiences, and integration.

If you’ve been curious about how Brainspotting can support preparation, dosing, and integration within ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, I’d love to have you join us.

We’ll focus on practical applications while remaining grounded in consent, responsiveness, and client-led care.

What exactly is a Mom Parts KAP Lab?

For clinicians it’s an opportunity to learn a framework you can bring into preparation, medicine sessions, and integration with Mom clients.

And because we believe that clinicians should have the opportunity to experience the framework themselves, the Labs also invite you to get curious about your own system of Mom Parts.

Jessica Sorci and I aim to make every Mom Parts KAP Lab feel like self-care: enriching, meaningful, and restorative.

Check out the blog post to learn more about what happens inside a Mom Parts KAP Lab, who they’re for, and why we created them.

Our next Lab explores Perfectionism in Motherhood on October 13 + 14.

When Jessica Tomich Sorci and I began collaborating for Mom Parts KAP, we were trying to make space for something we both kept seeing: how hard it can be for practitioners to find time for continuing education, their own reflection, and something that actually feels supportive. Our hope was to bring...

Maternal legacy includes the beliefs, strengths, wounds, expectations, roles, and ways of loving that move through a maternal line.

Just like us, our mothers had protective systems. So did their mothers. Maternal legacy work does not require excusing harm. Understanding can help us reflect:

What did this response learn to protect?

What did it make possible—and what has it cost?

What do I want to keep, and what no longer needs to continue through me?

Motherhood has a way of making the past feel very present. Memories and stories we carry about our own childhood may show up as activation, tension, disconnection, and hyper-vigilance.We might literally hear our mother’s words come out of our own mouths. We may promise ourselves we will do everyth...

A felt sense of sanctuary is the experience of feeling held enough to show up exactly as you are, in that moment, without pressure to perform or conform.It expands beyond safety. Safety is complicated. We don't always know what will feel safe to another person, and we cannot guarantee that an experi...

Shame is often a whole-body experience.It can show up as heat in the face, collapse in the chest, a frozen feeling, an urge to hide, or a harsh inner voice that seems to take over.That is one of the reasons we are bringing Brainspotting-informed work into this month’s Mom Parts KAP Lab on Shame in...
