​Self Care ​Immersion Experience

You love your kids to the moon and back.

But nothing has challenged you more physically and emotionally than being a mom.

Some days you can handle it all, but other days push you past your limit.
Picture

​Maybe you rush from work to daycare to home, only to frantically get dinner on the table, trying to work fast enough to outpace everyone's hunger. (Is there anything worse than cutting onions, tears streaming down your cheeks, while kids melt down at your ankles?)


Maybe you’re on a spinning hamster wheel of laundry, cooking and cleaning.

Maybe you’re a single mom and everything is on you. ​
You're trying so hard but STILL feel overwhelmed and under-appreciated.
​​
You feel pressure to do all the things. Who else is going to look up classes and activities, make doctors’ appointments, and schedule playdates, much less get everyone to them? You feel a pang of guilt deleting the PTA’s call for volunteers from your inbox, but you just don’t have the energy.

Over 89% of moms feel overwhelmed by work, home, and parenting responsibilities.

You see other parents who seem more patient and put together, while you sometimes feel you can barely make it through the day.

You’d love a break, but feel like you can’t do anything without making arrangements for your family. When you finally get some hours to yourself, you feel pressure to “make the most” of your time off.

You used to be so smart and capable...now you can’t remember where you put your keys or finish a cup of coffee before it gets cold. You feel so different from the person you used to be, who believed anything was possible for her life.

You’re afraid you’ll always be stuck in survival mode. You worry you won’t be able to do the things you’ve dreamed of without a major change in your life.

Many moms think self care is selfish, and that doing something for themselves is indulgent - but they're wrong.

Sure, a daily massage and facial might be going overboard, but that’s not what we’re talking about.

Moms like you - and their families - thrive when they’re taking care of their own needs as much as everyone else’s.

Burnout in any labor-intensive job is a real threat. And what job is more demanding than yours?

97% of moms agree they need
an occasional time out from parenting.


Something's got to give.

The biggest mistake moms make is thinking they have to suck it up, push through and carry on.  

But you can’t give what you don’t have.

Imagine if mom life felt manageable, calm, and even fun.

Picture
You wake up ready for the day. There are still lunches to be packed and noses to wipe, but you can take care of it because you’re pouring from a full cup.

You look forward to what’s on your calendar. Things feel light and peaceful because you know what’s most important to focus on. You rest easier knowing, “I did that, great!” (vs. feeling like there’s so much left to do).
When it’s time to go into mom mode, you’re glad to see your kids, have reserves to respond when tough things happen, and actually enjoy what’s right in front of you.

You’ve learned to ask for help and feel supported. You drink your coffee while it’s hot, spend time with friends you love, and take time to exercise, dance, or eat a delicious meal without sharing, knowing that your happiness benefits the whole family.
​You know that what you have is good vs. wondering if there’s something better out there. You accept what is - the beautiful and the hard parts.

Best of all, you feel better about your parenting, enjoy time with your kids, and do things you love guilt-free.

You even feel you’re becoming more of who you’d like to be.

You finally feel peaceful. Like you’re enough. Like you’re not behind or scrambling to keep up.

You’re right where you need to be.

Do any of these sound like you?
​
  • “Am I really wearing leggings again? Wait, did I sleep in these last night?”

  • “I can keep it together sometimes, then come unhinged - snapping at my kids and feeling totally exhausted. Then I pull it back together, and get more sleep, etc. But eventually, it happens again.”

  • “$&*#, it’s time for pick-up already!? I can’t believe I spent the last two hours scrolling my phone.”
    ​
  • “I have a really hard time doing things for fun or putting myself first. If my husband takes the kids, I’m like, ‘I have 3 hours - now what?’”

  • “I want to run and hide just for some silence or me-time. I don’t need a spa or gym workout, just permission first myself to factor in time for me.”

I totally get it.
​Let's figure it out together!

​I coach moms with nonstop responsibilities who just need a break.

They’re overwhelmed and secretly feel guilty for not enjoying every moment.

​I help them make time for themselves, do things they love, and handle hard situations with confidence so they can become the kind of mom (and person) they’ve always wanted to be.

Charissa has the skill to adeptly move through a conversation.

I'm proud of getting the help that I need to be a more whole person.

I created a healthy structure for our summer -  I have exercise time, alone time, and date nights covered!  At first I thought I should be able to figure this out by myself, but it's really different to have a caring person on the other end of the phone, asking questions to help me clarify how I want to feel and the action steps to get there.

I’d absolutely recommend Charissa

I’d absolutely recommend Charissa to the people who’d be most reluctant to hire her - not because they can’t afford it, but because they struggle to do anything for themselves. You’d totally spend it on a Target run on art supplies for your kid! For the amount she charges, the value is there.

I'm embracing the fact that I CAN do things!

I'm really happy about what we did together. I'm not as easily discouraged now. I have a system to fall back on so I can continue to accomplish things. There's just a lot less clutter in my brain, so I have more space to get other things done. I'm more comfortable embracing the fact that I CAN do things!

It was so great to be listened to so intentionally.

Charissa is kind, approachable, and authentic. It was easy to talk with her.  It was so great to know that our time was a space for me to be listened to so intentionally.

Working with Charissa felt like an experience of having someone give me back to myself.
​

Hearing my words reflected back at me is a simple gift but an important one. Working with Charissa today felt like an experience of having someone give me back to myself. She helped me de-clutter my thoughts in a way that I can't do on my own and more quickly get to the heart of the matter.
