Mothering the Self:
A 7-Day Journey to Healing the Mother Wound
Begin the sacred return to self.
THIS IS FOR YOU!
You’ve done the work.
You’ve read the books. You’ve gone to therapy. You’ve had the aha moments.
But some wounds? ...They live deeper.
They live in your nervous system.
In your emotional body.
In your relationships.
In your silence.
In the parts of you that still wonder:
“Why do I keep abandoning myself?”
“Why do I struggle to receive love?”
“Why do I feel so alone—even when I’m surrounded?”
You may not have the words for it—but your soul knows.
This is the mother wound.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been carrying grief, hyper-independence, or unworthiness from childhood into every corner of your adult life...
If you’ve done the work but still find yourself abandoned by your own boundaries, emotions, or needs...
Then you’re ready for a different kind of healing.
This course is a sacred space where emotional healing meets energetic alchemy.
It’s not just about understanding your mother wound—it’s about transforming it.
And if you're here...you're ready for it.
You already have the medicine. This course helps you to remember.
Mothering the Self is a 7-day immersive healing experience that blends emotional inquiry, energetic clearing, ancestral wisdom, and sacred self-reclamation.
EACH DAY INCLUDES ABOUT 30-45 MINUTES OF SELF-DEDICATION INCLUDING:
A SOUL TALK
Listen to a 15-20 minute pre-recorded lesson on a key topic related to mother wounds.
EMBODIMENT
Retrain the nervous system and clear your energetic field, with paired practices.
REFLECTIONS
Shed the old identity & integrate the new with thought-provoking questions.
COMMUNITY
(Optional but powerful) group discussion prompts, to learn & heal together.
You won't walk away with just insights...
You'll walk away with embodied practices, new neural patterns, and a renewed relationship with the most important person in your life: you.
This course will help you:
✨ Tend to the roots, not just the symptoms
✨ Release ancestral patterns of emotional abandonment
✨ Begin to trust your own inner nurturer
✨ Cultivate a deep sense of safety in your own body
✨ Break cycles so the generations after you don’t have to carry what you did
You don’t have to do it all alone anymore.
This space is for you if you’re ready, willing, and available to do the real work.
The deep work. The gentle, gritty, sacred work.
If you’re open to therapy, if you love emotional honesty, if you believe in energy and Spirit, if you’re ready to come back home to yourself—
Then you’re in the right place.
What's Included?
Day 1
Embracing Grief for the Mother You Needed
You’ll explore the layers of grief you’ve been carrying—often silently. You’ll learn how unprocessed grief keeps you in cycles of over-functioning and disconnection, and how sacred grieving clears space for rebirth.
🌀 Includes: Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) for releasing grief, heart-centered journal prompts, and gentle nervous system regulation.
Day 2
Healing Hyper Independence
Discover how your independence may be a trauma response. You’ll unpack how emotional neglect created self-reliance that now feels like isolation—and how to soften into connection without fear.
🌀 Includes: Reflective writing practice, inner child validation, and a mini somatic “pause and notice” technique.
Day 3
Cultivating the Ability to Receive
Rewiring your body to receive love, support, and abundance is a spiritual practice. This lesson teaches you how to shift from over-giving to open receiving—and how to feel safe doing so.
🌀 Includes: Guided visualization to open the heart and womb, energetic affirmations, and a sacred self-touch exercise.
Day 4
Reparenting the Inner Child
Meet the little one within who still longs to be held. You’ll learn how to parent your emotional world with presence and tenderness, without shame or spiritual bypass.
🌀 Includes: Letter-writing ritual, mirror mantra, and joy-based reparenting prompts.
Day 5
Healing from Self-Abandonment
It’s time to stop betraying yourself to keep others comfortable. This lesson defines self-abandonment & reframes boundaries as sacred self-love and walks you through how to set, hold, and honor them.
🌀 Includes: Voice activation practice, values mapping, and boundary redefinition.
Day 6
Honoring the Mother Within
You no longer need to search for a mother outside of yourself. You’ll begin to embody your own divine mother energy—one that is wise, warm, protective, and rooted in love.
🌀 Includes: Guided embodiment ritual, altar/self-devotion practice, and a daily mothering commitment.
Day 7
Closing Ceremony
In this session you become the embodiment of the healing energies you've been working on all week. We are introduced to the divine mother archetype & explore 9 stages of embodiment.
🌀 Includes: Guided blessing, and ritualized closure.
This course is for the woman (or inner child) who is finally ready to:
- Stop performing strength and start receiving support
- Grieve the loss of the mother they needed, but never had
- Reclaim softness, rest, and emotional truth
- Create boundaries that protect peace
- Mother themselves with love, presence, and devotion
ALL IN ALL
This course will help you re-align with your highest self, reclaim your power and attract in a new, higher vibrational reality that mirrors you increased self-worth!
FAQs
What exactly is the Mothering the Self course?
Mothering the Self is a 7-day immersive course designed to help you heal the emotional, energetic, and ancestral layers of the mother wound. Each day offers a soul-centered teaching, a healing or embodiment practice (like EFT, visualization, or breathwork), journaling prompts, and optional reflection questions. It’s a holistic psychospiritual approach to deeply nourish the parts of you that still carry unmet maternal needs.
Who is this course for?
This course is for adults who are ready, willing, and emotionally available to heal the impact of the mother wound. You may already be in therapy, have done inner work, or feel a spiritual connection—but you’re craving something deeper, more embodied, more liberatory. This is for people who want to feel whole, not just intellectually understand why they feel fractured.
Do I need to have a “bad” relationship with my mother to take this course?
Not at all. This course isn’t about blame—it’s about truth. The mother wound can exist even when our mothers were loving, present, and well-meaning. It’s about what you needed and didn’t receive emotionally, energetically, or developmentally. This course is about honoring your experience and reclaiming what’s still missing.
How much time will it take each day?
Each daily module takes about 30–45 minutes total. This includes the 15–20 minute talk, a guided practice, and time for journaling or reflection. You can take it all at once or break it into smaller pieces throughout your day. The material is yours to revisit as often as you like.
How is this different from therapy?
This course complements—but doesn’t replace—therapy. It’s designed to support your emotional healing through psychospiritual tools that speak to the body, the soul, and the ancestral layers of your being. You’ll engage in energetic practices, nervous system work, and inner child reparenting in a way that many traditional therapeutic models don’t always reach.
What types of healing practices are included?
All practices are trauma-informed and guided gently so you can move at your own pace. This course includes a variety of accessible, soul-nourishing practices such as:
- EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique / tapping)
- Guided visualization + inner child journeys
- Energetic breathwork
- Mirror work + affirmations
- Journaling + embodiment rituals
.
Is this a religious or spiritual course?
This course is spiritually grounded, but not affiliated with any religion. You’ll hear references to ancestral wisdom, the Divine Mother, sacred energy, and self-devotion. All practices are open to people of all faith backgrounds—or no faith at all—as long as you’re open to inner transformation and spiritual integration.
Is there a community space or support?
Yes! You’ll be invited into an optional private reflection space on the Living Liberated App where you can share your insights, ask questions, and connect with others on the journey. This space is gently facilitated and designed for deep, respectful healing—not advice-giving or fixing.
How long do I have access to the course?
You’ll receive lifetime access to all materials—including audio files, video talks, and downloadable practices. You can revisit this journey as often as you need, especially when new layers of healing arise.
What if I’m not ready yet?
If you feel resistance, take a moment to ask: Is it fear… or intuition?
Sometimes our resistance is actually the doorway into healing. And you don’t have to do this alone. If your body is saying yes—even with some trembling—then trust that.

Meet Dr. Norissa.
So great to e-meet you!
I'm a psychologist, social worker, and spiritual guide dedicated to helping people heal from both personal and systemic trauma. With 20+ years of creating healing containers, my work blends ancestral wisdom, spiritual practices, and mental health tools to support deep transformation and liberation.
But I don’t come to this work only as a clinician or scholar.I come to it as a woman who has done this healing herself. I know what it means to grow up feeling emotionally unsupported, unseen, or expected to hold everything together while no one held me.I know what it means to carry grief that has no name, to parent yourself through pain, and to long for a kind of mothering that simply wasn’t available. And I also know what it means to reclaim your power by becoming the mother you needed.
Through my own process of healing the mother wound, I discovered that the deepest healing doesn’t come just from understanding our stories—it comes from reparenting ourselves, restoring softness, regulating the nervous system, and reconnecting with Spirit.
That’s why I created Mothering the Self—to offer a psychospiritual approach that blends everything I’ve studied, practiced, and lived:
This course is the offering of my head, heart, and womb.
What people who have worked with Dr. Norissa have said:
"Dr. Norissa's deep insights helped me to shed the scales off my own eyes of understanding, bringing clarity to my Wholeness. She helped me to connect with my past and to integrate both present and past. My future looks brighter, clearer, and prosperous. Thank you is not enough. For me... she assisted the healing of my Being. A big shift took place in me from her insights pertaining to worthiness. I highly recommend Dr. Norissa to anyone seeking to emerge with an awareness and experience of your True, Whole Self."

"I was wondering why I was not able to achieve this or achieve that consistently... With Dr. Norissa, I received the answers!...If there is something in your life & you're working really hard, you're doing all the right things, but you're just not having that success in terms of finance, family, relationships or health, it may be that bottom belief that roots back to early childhood that you may not even remember..."
