Maternal mental health support for mothering in climate crisis.
Choose Your Path
Many mothers feel overwhelmed not because they are failing, but because they are responding to what we are living.
Maternal distress often reflects accurate perception of relational, systemic, and ecological strain before culture has language for it.
My work contributes to the development of maternal ecopsychology, a field examining how motherhood reshapes our relationship with the natural world and how ecological conditions shape maternal wellbeing.
Through research, counseling, and public education, I help mothers, providers, and educators understand how the environment is shaping maternal mental health and how to support one another through our climate crisis. This work is part of a growing interdisciplinary effort to bring maternal experience into climate, mental health, and ecological discourse. It will continue to evolve through research, practice, and shared inquiry as this field takes shape.
About AllieThe Mother Tree Method™ Framework
The Mother Tree Method™ is my approach to supporting maternal ecodistress, often called climate anxiety. It guides mothers through seven stages of building secure attachment with the Earth, coming to know themselves as part of the natural world rather than separate from it. The method holds both the risks and the protective capacities this connection can bring during matrescence.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH
This work is for mothers, clinicians, educators, researchers, and others engaging care in the context of ecological change.
Individual Coaching
Work one to one with me for individualized support through the Mother Tree Method™. These sessions focus on understanding maternal ecodistress within the context of your life, relationships, and environment, and on developing practices that support stability, clarity, and re rooting during periods of transition.
The Mother Tree Method™ Community
An ongoing, cyclical practice of Maternal Ecopsychology. Guided by a shared monthly rhythm of orientation, embodied practice, collective reflection, and integration, this community supports mothers and practitioners in understanding maternal ecodistress as ecological intelligence and developmental response, rather than pathology.
Continuing Education
This work includes ongoing educational spaces for clinicians, educators, and practitioners engaging maternal mental health in ecological context. Through live seminars, case consultation, and shared inquiry, participants deepen their understanding of maternal ecodistress, attachment, and recovery while staying grounded in current research and practice.

Mother Juniper: Lessons on Mothering in Climate Crisis
This book explores ecodistress as an embodied response to ecological crisis and as part of our relationship with the Earth rather than separate from it. Through the Mother Tree Method™, it traces how mothers move from disconnection toward belonging, developing forms of secure ecological attachment that are both personal and collective.
what MOTHERS are discovering
Here’s how mothers describe their recovery journeys with the Mother Tree Method™.
"The group shifted my understanding of motherhood by empowering me to honor this new stage of my life as an opportunity to reconnect with my ecological self and navigate how it is evolving."
"Through this group, I’ve realized I am not alone. So many mothers share these feelings, and being in community helped me feel part of a web of mothers instead of isolated."
"Eco-distress used to feel like weakness, but now I see it as my body responding to the Earth’s cries. That shift has made me feel connected instead of broken."
"This isn’t just about me. It’s about mothers everywhere. Healing with each other and with the Earth feels like resistance to systems that try to silence us."
