An Empty Nest Shouldn’t
Feel Like Emptyness
Support for [sensitive, caring] conscious parents and their adult children to heal growing emotional distance.
[to restore growing emotional gap] I use a integration of Embodiment (Somatic) Psychology and Spiritual Methods I call NeuroShiatsu™
You always knew your child would grow up, but you didn’t expect this painful pulling away! Your kid was and is your life. You’d do anything for them. But now it feels like they want little or nothing to do with you.
- They won’t let you help.
- They don’t want your advice.
- They say “you stress me out!” (even though you’re walking on eggshells)
You try hard not to cry, and tell yourself “it’s not about me.” But the grief is overwhelming. You weren’t prepared for it to hurt like this.
You devoted your life to being a great parent
You vowed to never make the same mistakes your parents did.
You have personal development books on your nightstand and an oracle deck in your drawer.
You’ve done therapy, shadow work, meditation (or at least a lot of introspection) to heal your heart.
Because you were determined that your children would feel loved and supported (in all the ways you didn’t when you were a child).
Take a deep breath, you did well.
Many of my clients are psychologists, coaches, and spiritual teachers — healing is their life’s work! But when your children pull away, it’s hard even for skilled practitioners. We all need support when our deepest wounds are opened.
Hi, I’m Lucy,
and I help deeply-caring parents like you to improve your relationships with your grown children by giving them what they need now
— and by giving yourself what you need now.
That intense pain, worry and grief you’re feeling over your empty nest, or your adult children pulling away — those emotions become your new-normal UNTIL they start damaging your parent/child relationships.
If your kids are pushing you away, setting boundaries, or their partners/spouses are causing friction and distance that wasn’t there before — that tells me that you need some extra help and support.
All of this is likely triggering emotions, pain and abandonment trauma you thought you’d resolved.
Unsnarl the tangled emotions
My specialty is helping you unsnarl the tangled emotions that are stuck in your body, mind and heart so you can fully embody the loving parent, and person, you are meant to be.
- Soothe your hurt
- Quiet your ‘not enoughness’
- Ease your anxiety
- Embrace this chapter of your life with love, joy, and curiosity
And stop driving yourself and your kids nuts
