Meet the Mamas Behind

Embodied Mama

Motherhood changed everything—for both of us.

We’re Kara and Mel, two mamas who came to this work through our own journeys of deepening, unlearning, and coming home to ourselves. We know firsthand how beautiful and hard this season can be—and we believe that no mama should have to do it alone.

Kara’s Journey

Motherhood—especially the shift from one child to two—cracked me open. It revealed how often I resisted receiving support and held myself back from the more life wanted to gift me.

Learning to let go, surrender control, and honor my needs as valid has been my greatest lesson. Now, as an embodiment coach and integrative nutritionist, I’m passionate about helping mamas reconnect with their bodies and rhythms, truly nourish themselves, and get clear on their desires.

Because learning to receive support isn’t a weakness—it’s a strength. And motherhood wasn’t meant to be done alone.

Melissa’s Journey

After the birth of my second son, in the depths of postpartum anxiety, I realized the ways my identity had been wrapped up in holding it all together and being all things to everyone else. That season was everything I didn’t know I needed—it was life’s invitation to slow down, to listen deeply, and to learn what I truly needed to thrive.

It was during this time that I learned to honor my boundaries and care for myself in a way that felt whole and sustainable.

As a doula and inner work guide, I hold space for mamas as they embrace the many changes that this initiation brings, because motherhood is meant to change everything—and this is its gift.

Why We Created Embodied Mama

We created The Embodied Mama because we wanted a space where the full journey of motherhood is honored as sacred. A space that holds the complexity, the beauty, and the challenges of being a mama.

This is a community where mamas feel supported and resourced—not just to survive, but to meet the fullness of their experience. To mother in ways that don’t require abandoning themselves, but instead, invite them to bring all of who they are into their mothering.

What We Offer

At The Embodied Mama, we offer tools, resources, and a supportive community to help you embrace the fullness of this season—chaos, cuddles, and everything in between.

This is a space to:

  • Feel seen and supported as you tend to you and your life.

  • Reconnect with your body, your intuition, and your joy.

  • Learn practices to resource yourself through all the ups and downs of motherhood.

Stop surviving and start living

soulfully as Mama
