Opening Doors
A free two hour, experiential workshop to explore the emotional patterns shaping your mother-daughter relationships through guided reflection, real conversation, and powerful personal insight.
“I want to reconnect… but I don’t even know where to begin.”
If something in your mother-daughter relationship feels heavy, tense, or distant, you’re not alone.
Whether you're a mother aching for closeness with your daughter, or a daughter carrying the quiet weight of what’s been unspoken for years—
This workshop is an invitation to open the door to clarity, understanding, and emotional possibility.
What You’ll Learn in Opening Doors:
Discover your mother-daughter emotional patterns - you’ll learn the role you've played in your relationship and how your daughter or mother’s role has mirrored or clashed with yours.
Identify the emotional contracts you didn’t know you agreed to - we’ll explore the unconscious rules, expectations, and roles that shaped your connection and why they’re no longer working.
Release the emotional charge with guided prompts and nervous system tools, you’ll begin to move through the grief, guilt, or resentment that’s been living in your body.
Reimagine what’s possible through reflection, interactive workshopping and coaching, you’ll ask: What if I could open the door to a new way forward?
What You’ll Walk Away With:
A clear understanding of your emotional role in the relationship
Insight into how generational patterns and unsaid pain have shaped your story
Simple but powerful practices to help you regulate during emotional triggers
The beginning of compassion—for yourself and for her

I’m Hilary, lover and advocate of the sacred mother-daughter bond
Let’s face it, the mother-daughter relationship is often misunderstood. I’ve heard it described too many times as ‘complicated’. After working as a family therapist for 15 years specializing in adolescent girls, I found myself without answers about why mothers and daughters weren’t getting their needs met by each other. Each week I watched girl after girl come into my office and feel alone in the world. Even with her well intentioned mother sitting right outside on the waiting room couch. This was the moment I knew we needed to stop accepting disconnection between mothers and daughters as ‘normal’.
Since then, I’ve had the honor of working with hundreds of mothers and daughters to help them have the best relationship possible. As a licensed therapist, I transfer my skills to mothers so they are the ones rescuing their girls. I show mothers and adult daughters how to listen to each other’s needs and truly understand each other so they can heal and have the relationship they’ve been craving.
After working with me privately, my clients have gone on to effortlessly plan weddings together, enjoy family vacations without tension, savor holiday visits, take mother-daughter getaways, and return to the nostalgic activities they once loved—like cooking side by side, shopping for special occasions, or simply laughing together on long walks.
Your intent listener, assuring confidante and knowing guide, I’m ready to give you not only what you need but what you want. We begin with the education, move to the healing and then we celebrate.
