For most women, motherhood isn’t just a desire, or the fulfillment of instinct – it’s the song of our cells.

Motherhood is the highest spiritual calling of our life-stream. 

From the hope and yearning we experience when we open ourselves to conception, to that heady mix of ebullient joy and trepidation upon discovering we’re pregnant for the first (or 10th!) time, to the glorious metamorphosis of gestation, matrescence is a continuum of expansion. 

The cataclysm of birth and the heart-shattering first encounter with our baby is just the beginning of what amounts to a monumental summoning. 

To become a mother is to take on a multitude of roles at once: counselor, seamstress, chef, diplomat, judge, teacher, medicine woman and healer, and so much more. 

Motherhood is the greatest gift and the most awesome responsibility. 

It is within the vortex of our frequency as mothers that our children develop their consciousness, perception, and sense of self. 

Our relationship with our kids is the foundation of their all-encompassing journey to individuation. 

Mothers are powerful, and mothering is the most blessed office and occupation.

Yet, we live in a culture that diminishes motherhood, denigrates it, ridicules it, and promotes the story that motherhood makes us lesser-than—that motherhood is something to be scorned and avoided. 

Motherhood is widely seen as a trap, and an impediment to success. 

This is a lie.

One of the most deceptive narratives in contemporary society is the nefarious story that motherhood is depleting. In truth, conscious, centred mothering—supported mothering—is profoundly nourishing, not just for our children, but for us.

The tragic reality, however, is that most of us:

• Are misunderstood in our holistic pregnancy and birth choices
• Lack an aligned freebirth or homebirth community 
• Are lonely and mothering in the absence of a village 
• Have few mothering role-models who can mirror healthy practices
• Are carrying birth-related trauma and unhealed mother-wounds of our own
• Struggle to navigate the process of supporting our children in their healing cycles
• Crave a space to share openly without feeling judged
• Deeply desire guidance, sisterhood, and support
• Find it increasingly more difficult to access truly alternative (not to mention relevant and wise) information and education online

I’m Yolande Norris-Clark. Wife and mother of ten babies (all of whom were born at home), I’ve been working with women for over twenty years. I’m a birth witness, a childbirth educator, midwifery teacher, mothering mentor, self-healing guide, and I’m the creator, guide, and anchor of The Mother Well.

As I wrote in my bestselling book, “PORTAL: The Art of Choosing Orgasmic, Pain-Free, Blissful Birth”:

Motherhood is a continuum—an elliptical orbit through time and space, and across ancestral flight paths. We traverse the labyrinth into and out of the spiral with every child, and every micro-stage of each macro-stage has its own crescendo, apex, denouement, resolution, and seeming completion…and then we embark again on the next mission, whether toddlerhood, the teenage years, grandbabies, cronedom, or ascension to the beyond. 

But mothering with ease, resonance, and vitality is also a practical matter—in fact, the spiritual and ineffable can’t ever be separated from the material and the mundane. We mothers determine the cadency and the oscillation of the energy of our homes, and it is our demeanour and essence that is reflected in our children’s behaviour.

If we are not well in mind, body, psyche, and spirit, this will impact our children, and affect our entire family structure, along with being reflected in our homes, our finances, and our relationships.

The Mother Well is a community hub, an educational resource, and an ongoing learning and group coaching container. Membership includes access to all of my past salons and workshops (see the FAQs below for the full list of amazing benefits).

Most notably, The Mother Well is where you can spend time with me directly, ask me direct questions, and join me and guest teachers during weekly connection and coaching calls. 

I have spent my life almost entirely outside of the industrial medical realm, growing, birthing, raising my children, healing my own wounds and dis-eases. 

Over the past decade, I have increasingly found myself responding to the invitation to offer guidance and witnessing to women who, like myself, are on the journey of wild birth, primal mothering, and self-healing. It is the greatest honour to share my passion for decoding the logic of our life-force and our amazing capacity for spontaneous healing. 

Through my long-term study of the work of Hamer’s Sacred Medicine—Germanic Healing Knowledge—I have developed my own framework for nurturing and ministering ourselves through the cycle of repair, which I am passionate about sharing with the world (especially with mothers).

The Mother Well is a gathering place for women of all backgrounds, to share, learn, and grow in power, learn new skills, heal, and find freedom and peace in our sacred role. 

In our live coaching calls (and within the enormous resource library with 300+ hours of video lessons, coaching calls and salons) we frequently discuss topics like:

• Wild pregnancy
• Prenatal testing and diagnostics
• Birth planning
• Birth complications, variations of normal, and emergencies
• Infant care
• Sleep strategies
• Weaning 
• Elimination communication and toilet-learning
• Sibling relationships
• Family guidance and discipline
• Sex, marriage, and relationships
• Homeschooling and unschooling
• Parenting teens

…and so much more.

The Mother Well is meant to be a homecoming, particularly if you feel like you’re on the fringes—outside of the institution, banished from the family reunion, exiled from academia, and diving into the unknown of self-awareness.

It’s also a community for all you outlaw midwives, blacklisted doulas, and any woman who can sense the cusp of awakening that we’re all verging on, in our lives and families and the wider collective.

In this era of surveillance, alienation, censorship, hyper-medicalization, and technocratic change, it can feel profoundly isolating to be committed to instinct, nature, and the organic pulse of our intrinsic human beingness. 

Come to The Mother Well to be unabashedly yourself, untrammeled by mainstream expectations, requirements for ritualistic wokeness, or medical authoritarianism.
