With Mother's Day around the corner it's truly a time to reflect and be grateful for all the mamas in our life! Whether it's your own mother or grandmother, your wife, aunt or cousin, even your close friends ~ we all have mamas in our life! This role of mama, is one of the most important ones on this planet! Ever since I had my baby girl I knew, whole-heartedly, that I wanted to support new moms and families (dads and babes included of course). These next generations are so important and the mamas and the papas (and all the care givers out there) are the ones building and creating the homes and support systems for these children ~ so supporting them, to me, feels of the up-most importance!

I am so excited to share that I will be one of the speakers at the upcoming, inspiring, mama treat in Ojai, California ~ THE GREAT JANE. I'll be teaching two classes over the course of the weekend about "How to Nourish Your Body, Beat Stress, And Stay Healthy!"

What does it mean to be a Great Jane?

"Being a Great Jane is an all encompassing idea for the modern mother. It’s a big movement internally and externally. It fosters intentional parenting, satisfying careers, self-care concerns, and connection with other women facing the bold questions of life balance. As entrepreneurs who are also moms, we wrestle with these important ambitions on a daily basis. We created The Great Jane retreat as a place for all mothers seeking mentorship and space to rejuvenate and prepare for their next act in holistic identity. We have built a thoughtful team of advisors to guide us through a weekend of energizing thought, movement, and relaxation."

This retreat was created FOR mamas BY mamas and is truly going to be a life-changing experience ~ I encourage you to share this with the mamas you love and perhaps treat yourself or a mama you know to this beautiful weekend. The retreat will be held Friday, May 20th to Sunday May 22nd in Ojai, California at the Thatcher House.

Also, since I'm one of the speakers, I'm beyond pleased to share that I have a special coupon code for all the mama's I know and LOVE! Just use: TGJ_Speaker at checkout and RECEIVE A 20% DISCOUNT!

"No one else will ever know the strength of my LOVE for you. After all, you're THE ONLY ONE who knows that my HEART sounds like from the inside."

Also, on the theme of deeply supporting mamas I'm thrilled to announce the launch of our new mama coaching program! Wellynest’s Whole MAMA program is an intimate course designed to nourish and support modern day mama’s, their little ones, and unique family dynamic. Many mothers are over-worked, over-stressed, under nourished, and under supported. This program is designed to give you back your strength, stability, even sanity, to empower this incredible role as MAMA! Exploring what it means to live a whole and nourished life, we integrate self-care, foods that nourish and heal, movement and meditation and more. From healthy grain-free, gut happy baking and fermentation, to ayurvedic practices, sensual self-care, and the A.R.T of parenting TM we cover all the areas modern day mamas need to thrive.

Our early bird special is going on now!
