Mother Tongue unfolds in two parts. First, we learn the territory: real anatomy, real vulvas, the tissues, nerves, scars, sensation + changes motherhood can bring. Then we move from knowing into feeling: door shut, room warm, mirror out, oil nearby, and a slow guided self-touch practice to meet your vulva, perineum + surrounding tissues with curiosity, humour and reverence.  Think less “workshop,” more: a ceremony of return to the body that has carried you through so much.

Absolutely. Mother Tongue isn’t only for women who birthed vaginally. Pregnancy, birth, surgery, hormones, feeding and motherhood can all shape the way we experience our body, pleasure, sensation and intimacy. Your practice may look a little different, but the invitation is the same: to meet the body motherhood made with attention, curiosity and reverence.

Yes, for the first, educational part, absolutely. Babies feeding, toddlers pottering about, snack requests… motherhood is welcome in the room. For the guided practice, though, where you’ll be touching your body, particularly your vulva, perineum + surrounding tissues. I really recommend arranging childcare or creating proper privacy. This part deserves enough space for you to soften, feel, explore and be with yourself without being pulled back into mothering every few minutes.

Then Mother Tongue is absolutely for you. The guided touch may or may not bring insight into why you’re feeling disconnected, sometimes sensations, emotions, memories or associations become clearer simply because we finally slow down enough to notice them. The touch itself is also designed to bring gentle nourishment and attention to the tissues: warmth, movement and increased local blood flow can support sensory awareness and, for some women, a greater sense of pleasure, aliveness and sexual energy. There’s nothing you need to force or achieve, we’re creating the conditions for your body to be felt, listened to and enjoyed again.

No. We are not hunting for hidden trauma, forcing catharsis or assuming your body is carrying something terrible that needs to be uncovered. The practice is much gentler than that: learning, looking, touching slowly, noticing sensation and giving your body your attention without demanding a particular outcome. Something emotional or meaningful might arise, or absolutely nothing dramatic might happen at all. Both are completely welcome. The point is not excavation, it’s relationship.

Mother Tongue gives you something most mothers were never offered after birth: the chance to properly meet the body you’re living in now. You’ll leave with more understanding of your anatomy, more familiarity with your vulva, perineum + pelvic tissues, and a clearer sense of what feels numb, tender, pleasurable, unfamiliar or alive. The guided touch can also support circulation, sensory awareness and a deeper relationship with pleasure, but the biggest benefit is simpler: feeling less like a stranger in your own body, and more able to listen to, tend to and inhabit her from the inside out.

Not at all. There is no expiry date on becoming intimate with the body motherhood made. You might be two months postpartum or ten years in and still have scars you’ve never really touched, places that feel numb or unfamiliar, or a sense that your pussy quietly disappeared from your own attention somewhere along the way. Mother Tongue is a chance to turn back towards her now, not to recreate who you were before birth, but to meet, learn and inhabit the body you’re living in today.
