a daily sanctuary for mothers

You pour into everyone, all day.Here, someone pours into you.

Some days you're touched out, depleted, and lonelier than you thought you'd be. You're not the only one, and you were never meant to do this alone.

Summers Mothers is built for maternal health. A place to sit with other mothers. Receive care. Regulate your nervous system. Be supported. Be nourished. To love this season not just survive it.

Slow enough to be here.

Motherhood is the slowest work there is, and yet we're always running through it.

You're the one who remembers everything. The appointments, the milestones, the size they've already outgrown, the thing that has to happen tomorrow. You're the default parent, always on call, the one nobody thinks to relieve. For a few hours here, you're not.

When you're filled, fed, rested, held, something loosens. Your shoulders drop. You stop bracing. You're actually here for the giggle, the new sound, the weight of them finally asleep against you.

Because the fear underneath all of it was never that you're a bad mother. It's that one day you won't remember the smell of their hair, because you were too busy, too tired, too far away to breathe them in.

A mother with her eyes closed, breathing in her child as she holds them close

This is a room built to give you the season back.

what it feels like to walk in

A place that holds
the whole of you.

The Tea Bar

Someone hands you something warm when you walk in. You didn't have to ask. Mineral teas, nourishing snacks, food that actually feeds you. For the mom who forgot to eat today.

The lounge where mothers sit together, with the kids' space beside them

The Lounge and the Kids' Space

You sit down. Really sit down. The kids are right there and someone else has them for a minute. Your shoulders drop. You exhale. You didn't realize you were holding your breath.

The Quiet Room

You close the door. It is the first door that has been yours all week. Sleep. Work. Cry. Sit still. No one needs anything from you in here.

The Practitioner Room

You lie down. Someone takes care of you. Your body. Your nervous system. The parts of you that have been bracing for months. For once, you are the one being held.

The Care Room

Your child is with someone who knows their name. Their things. How they like to be held. You walk away and you don't carry them in your head. You can actually let go.

My Mother's Closet

The carrier. The wrap. The things they outgrow every three months. Take what you need and return it when you're done. One less thing to buy. One less thing to store.

The coworking counter, with laptop seating and the kids' space in view

The Coworking Area

You still have work. Bring it. A counter, a cup of tea, fast wifi. The kids' space right across the room. You get it done. They are close enough to see.

The circle room — fur floor cushions, candles, soft light, and other mothers

Circles & Daily Classes

Other women in the same season. Same tired. Same love. Same questions. You sit down and someone says me too. You remember you are not the only one.

our story

Built from grief, love, and a calling that wouldn't leave.

my mother, holding summer

Summers Mothers is named for two women: Summers, my mother's maiden name, and Summer, my daughter. My mother died just before Summer's first birthday, barely a year after she was born. The deepest love and the deepest grief, in the same season. My mom told me often that her only real regret was not staying home with us when we were small. She wanted to. She didn't feel like she could.

This sanctuary is, in part, my answer to her. A place so that staying close to your children isn't an isolated sentence, so that the next generation of women can choose presence and have the village they need to do it.
