natural mood management
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) has been found to be equally or more effective than medication for anxiety and depression. Nutrition and lifestyle have been proven to play a major role in anxiety and depression.
We put them together for a powerful, holistic approach to your mental wellness.

Mindfulness is taught and practiced throughout to manage the feelings that arise, make meaning, and help you rise resilient. We incorporate nutrition, exercise and lifestyle throughout and customize these sessions to be more or less of whatever feels right for you. Enjoy these online sessions from the comfort of your own home or private space.
Walk – and – Talk
EcoTherapy
Holistic Psychotherapy means supporting the whole person – mind, body and spirit. Science shows that there are both physical and mental health benefits to being active and being in nature so Mother Zen merges these things to provide Mothers with therapeutic sessions outside.
Pack your baby up in the stroller or wrap them up in their carrier and meet Gillian for a guided walk through the forest, ravine or by the lake where you can tune into your senses and practice being in the present moment. These sessions are 75 minutes in length to really gain the benefits of moving in nature, while also being able to talk about what’s on your mind.
Some offerings may be covered by your benefits.
Resilience is most available to people curious about their own line of thinking and behaving.
