Kua Body Shares: Nurturing the Nurturer

We all know that a good mother should be, loving, nurturing, giving, and kind to her children. But can a good mother offer those same traits to herself? Often, everyone’s needs are weighed except one: Mom.

To celebrate Mother’s Day and our thriving community of Kua Body Moms, we asked relationship therapist Deborah Dooley, PhD, LMFT, to share her wisdom based on neuroscience on the importance of nurturing yourself as a Mom – not only for your own health but for your child’s wellbeing and development.

In Deborah’s words…

A nurturing mother is not about what she is doing, nor the role she plays, rather it is about who she is being. Who she is being comes from her internal relationship within herself.

Learning to be self-nurturing is the greatest gift a Mother can give to herself, her family and humanity. This is because self-care opens the heart field. A nurturing relationship starts with self-regulating the neurological system and sensing the internal heart field.
