You carry so much. The invisible weight of emotions no one else seems to notice. You feel like you're always tending, always showing up, even when no one asks how you’re doing. Some days, you function. You move through the motions. But deep down, you know: you weren’t made to just survive motherhood.. you were made to feel it all.
You remember a version of yourself who laughed freely, who danced without guilt, who had time to breathe. And even though you love your children more than anything, you miss her. You miss you.
You're not selfish for wanting more. You just want a place to rest, to cry, to be held.. not because you’re weak, but because you’re human. A woman. A mother. A soul who deserves to be witnessed, too.
You’ve spent so long tending to everyone else, you forgot what it feels like to be held.
You know there’s more to you than the to-do lists, the tantrums, and the tiredness.
This is for you if you…
Carry emotional weight no one else sees
Feel exhausted, unseen, and unsupported
Want to feel more, not just function
Miss the woman underneath the mother
You’ve lost parts of yourself in the role of mother and you want to discover your newest version of yourself
Desire permission to cry, rest, and reclaim your whole self
You’re ready to feel again.. without guilt, shame, or judgment
You’re seeking community with other women and mothers who just get it
This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about giving you a place to be, feel, and come home to yourself.. one breath, one feeling, one month at a time.

MEET YOUR GUIDE
Mom. Storyteller. Space Holder for Feeling.
Nereyda Martinez is a licensed Ishtara teacher and somatic guide devoted to helping women come home to their bodies with safety, honesty, and depth.
I created this space because I needed it too.
I’m a mother of two, and for a long time I believed that being strong meant staying silent. That holding it together was more important than holding myself. But inside me.. beneath the to-do lists, the roles, the overwhelm.. there were feelings that needed to be felt.
There was a woman longing to come home.
I’m a Licensed Ishtara® teacher, a movement-based healing method, that helps women reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and inner voice. I hold a B.S. in Family and Human Development, I have been studying Oral Storytelling for 4 years, and I co-own The Healing Tree Collective.. a community space for embodiment and emotional restoration in Tempe, Arizona.
Inside The Moving Mamas, I guide you into a relationship with your body, your emotions, and your truth. Through story, movement, community, and ritual, we begin to remember that our wholeness isn’t something we have to earn. It’s something we return to.. together.
Here’s how your life begins to shift:
-
You feel safe in your own emotions
No more swallowing the tears or pretending you're okay. Inside this space, you practice feeling... fully, safely, and without apology. The benefit? Emotions move. You soften. You don’t carry it all alone.
-
Your body becomes a place of trust
Rather than feeling numb, tense, or like a utility, your body becomes a sanctuary again. Through movement, breath, and listening, you rebuild a relationship with her. And when you trust your body.. you trust yourself.
-
You rest without guilt
Rest is no longer something you have to earn. It becomes part of your rhythm. You begin to believe... not just say that your needs matter too.
-
You parent from presence, not depletion
As you feel and release your own emotions, you show up more attuned.. not because you’re trying harder, but because you’re held too. Parenting becomes less about performing, and more about being.
Which Mother Are You Right Now?
You’re not the only one feeling this way and you were never meant to carry it alone.
Inside every mother is a story waiting to be heard.. not just of what she does, but of what she feels. These archetypes aren’t boxes, they’re mirrors. You may see yourself in one, or many. Each one reveals a tender ache, a hidden need, and a sacred part of you longing to be witnessed.
-
∫ The Numbered Giver
You take care of everyone but no one’s asking how you feel. You’ve gotten so good at pushing through that now, you don’t even know what’s underneath.
-
∂ The Fragmented Self
You’re constantly switching roles.. mom, partner, provider and feel torn between them all. You miss the version of you that didn’t feel so scattered.
-
✧ The Silent Storm
You carry a world of emotions under the surface, quietly. You’re scared that if you start to feel it, you won’t be able to stop.
-
◐ The Spiritual Seeker
You want your mothering to feel meaningful, soulful, intentional. But most days feel like survival and you long for more.
-
◯ The Sacred Witness
You’re intuitive, deep-feeling, and always there for others. But no one seems to see the woman behind the wisdom.
-
✶ The Single Pillar
You’re doing it all and you never get to fall apart. It feels like if you collapse, everything else will too.
-
∿ The Over-Giver in Partnership
Even with a partner, the emotional and household weight falls on you.
You’re tired of feeling like it’s all yours to hold.
Here in this community, we don’t fix you.
We meet you in the ache, and walk you home to yourself.
This is not a test.
It’s a return to truth.
Inside The Moving Mamas you’ll be met in your ache, seen in your strength, and supported in becoming more whole than you’ve ever felt.
What Becomes Possible When You Feel Again?
What would it be worth to feel at home in your body... not just for a moment, but as your new way of being?
Imagine dancing in your kitchen again... not out of performance, but because your spirit moved you.
What changes when your children see you rest, and know that it’s sacred?
What would it be like if you cried without apology and felt more powerful after?
Imagine waking up and not dreading the day ahead but meeting yourself where you are, with love and compassion.
What would your partnership feel like if your needs were known,
your boundaries honored, your truth spoken without fear?
What value would it bring your life to finally belong — not just to a group, but to yourself?
What We Will Explore Together
Inside The Feeling Mamas, we explore timeless themes that awaken you to the wisdom within your body, the depth of your emotions, and the story your soul is longing to speak. These are not monthly checklists, they are invitations that return, deepen, and reveal new truths over time. Every theme is designed to reconnect you to yourself - gently, powerfully, and in community.
Themes Inside the Community
Coming Home to Your Body
After so much giving, your body may feel more like a tool than a temple. Here, you learn to inhabit your body with reverence, not resentment and to listen again with love.
Moving the Body
You’ll reclaim dance, breath, and gentle motion as tools for emotional release and nervous system regulation without pressure, only presence.
Emotions are Messengers, Not Problems
Every emotion carries information. Anger, grief, joy, sadness... they’re not bad, they’re signals. We create space to listen and learn from them.
Using Your Voice
Whether through journaling, storytelling, or sacred sharing, you’ll practice giving voice to the parts of you that have been silenced or sidelined.
Grief & Joy in Motherhood
Motherhood isn’t either/or. It’s both/and. We hold the bittersweet beauty of losing and becoming, grieving and celebrating... all without shame.
Mothering Ourselves
We learn to extend the same love, patience, and nurturing we offer our children… back to ourselves. You deserve to be held and cared for too.
This Isn’t Just a Membership...
This is a space that has been on my heart for a long time because I've been there.
I’ve felt the emotional shutdown.
I’ve lived the stretch between who I was before motherhood and who I’m becoming now.
I’ve cried on the kitchen floor, smiled through the ache, and held it all... even when I was the one who needed holding.
And I found my way back.
Not by doing more, but by feeling again.
By moving my body.
By letting my emotions speak.
By surrounding myself with other women who weren’t afraid to witness the truth.
This is that space.
A soft but powerful return to your body, your voice, your emotional rhythm and your joy.
The Moving Mamas isn’t just a membership.
It’s a remembering. It's a reclamation. It's a space devoted to mothers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Some quick answers to help you feel clear and confident
What if I don’t have time?
That’s exactly why this space exists. The Moving Mamas is designed to nourish, not add pressure. Each piece is bite-sized, gentle, and rhythm-based. You can show up when you can and you’ll always be welcomed exactly as you are.
What happens in the monthly live circle?
Our live circle is a 60-minute Zoom gathering guided by Nereyda.
It includes a gentle check-in, breath or movement, emotional suppo
rt, and sacred space for sharing (or just being held in silence). Nothing is required of you.. this is your sanctuary.
Do I need to be “good” at dancing or movement?
Not at all. This is not about performing.. it’s about releasing. The practices are intuitive and accessible, focused on how your body wants to move and feel. No choreography. Just you, your breath, and your truth.
Is this a parenting course?
Nope. This isn’t about raising your kids.. it’s about raising yourself. We focus on the mother as a woman, creating space to feel, heal, and reconnect to the parts of you that often get buried beneath caregiving.
Is it okay if I don’t join the calls live?
Absolutely. All calls are recorded and uploaded for you to watch at your own pace. You’ll still receive the weekly prompts, bonus practices, and community support.. even if your schedule keeps you from joining live.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You’re never locked in. This space is here for you when you need it.. no guilt, no pressure. Come and go as life allows. You can cancel anytime through your account settings.
