A More Present Parent: With Somatic Therapist Charlotte Mindel
The conversation explores the challenges of being present in parenting, emphasizing the importance of embodiment, capacity building, and setting boundaries. It delves into the impact of cultural pressure, parental enjoyment, and the role of environment in fostering presence. The discussion highlights the significance of integrity, energy protection, and collaborative parenting in creating the right conditions for presence.
Charlotte Mindell is a UK-based somatic therapist, writer, and mother who specialises in supporting women—particularly mothers—to reconnect with themselves through body-led healing. Her work focuses on helping mothers move beyond stress, resentment, emotional exhaustion, and inherited patterns by using trauma-informed somatic therapy that works with the nervous system rather than only the thinking mind. Charlotte’s approach is gentle, intuitive, and grounded in helping women feel safer in their bodies so they can parent, relate, and live with greater authenticity. She is also the creator of The Embodied Mother, her signature therapeutic programme designed to support mothers in releasing stored emotional tension, rebuilding self-trust, and experiencing motherhood with more presence and ease.
