HOLDING SACRED SPACES FOR BELONGING

Here you’ll find opportunities for Sanctuaries of Support

for women and mothers through embodied healing, nervous system nourishment, and community;

where grief and joy can be held together, where we are seen, held, and loved.

I’m Abby Mortenson, a foster and adoptive mom, a social worker, and a trauma-informed somatic and yoga practitioner. My work is rooted in faith and a deep respect for all lived experiences.

I create embodied, sacred spaces—through circles, retreats, courses, and one-on-one sessions—where women and mothers can honor grief and joy, nourish their nervous systems, and experience healing in community.

At the heart of my work is a hope is to help women and mothers tend their hearts, nervous systems, and stories so they can better connect with community, heal, and feel joy.
