What Clients Say About Working Together
“Before working with Magdalena I experienced feelings of doubt, inadequacy & fear - fear of doing things wrong, not knowing what to do, not knowing how to help with the hard stuff, fear of messing my kids up. Not having a place to turn for help and guidance generated anxiety which only sparked more fires of self doubt, fear and worry, spinning a perpetual cycle of feeling inadequate & overwhelmed.
After working with Magdalena I can parent from within my heart, with all of myself, which means it is less forced, easier, freer, lighter, more clear, confident, calm, authentic & whole. I have tools, strategies and ideas of things to try - I don't feel lost. I feel understood, valued, supported and not alone - not ashamed to talk about how hard parenting is. And, my children are happier, more light hearted, emotionally healthier and we all have more fun together and struggle less.”
-JANELLE, PARENT OF A 5 AND 3 YEAR OLD
“Magdalena serves as a sounding board, a guide, and a positive reinforcer to me as the mother of a teen. She listens to my challenges and helps me separate what's important from what is not worth focusing on. She has helped me relax when it comes to the anxiety and angst of raising a teen boy and gain the comfort and confidence to accept that my relationship with my son is something to be accepted and celebrated for what it is and what it can be. It may have ups and downs, but I take the long view now — and as a result our relationship is much more relaxed and positive. Lena has helped me all the way through this process.”
-ELIZABETH, PARENT OF A 15 YEAR OLD
“Before we healed up with my daughter around her first birthday-my birthing day anniversary- I think I was clinging to a lot of the “grass is greener” thinking. Now that I have more of a feeling of completion around all the challenges of that postpartum year, I am more able to step into the new with less angst and fear and more openness and lightness.”
-BRIT, PARENT OF A 2 AND 1 YEAR OLD
“I am really grateful to have the blessing of processing the birth story of my first daughter with Magdalena to start the healing work that changed so much what I do with this life and the relationship I have with my daughter. Magdalena was such a safe place to go with heavy things. Now, instead of carrying this ball and chain along of a hard beginning, it's more like- here is this canvas with all of these things and it's all our story.”
-MIRANDA, PARENT OF A 6, 4, AND 2 YEAR OLD
