Motherhood transforms you.
Sure, you expect there to be changes, but no one prepares you to be reborn and reinvented.
No one tells you that there may be days when you look into the mirror and think…
I don’t even recognize myself.
or
When did I become so impatient and mean?
And then there’s the guilt, overwhelm, and fear that you’ll mess your child up forever.
Lovely mama do you:
-
Ride an emotional roller coaster – from loving, to snappy, to guilty – all in the span of 5 mins?
-
Wonder how other mamas fit it all in while you swim against a rising tide of emails?
-
Worry about how to raise confident and compassionate children in these crazy times?
-
Second-guess your mothering decisions and, in your teary curled-up-in-bed-with-chocolate moments, feel like you’re being a crappy mama?

Second-guess your mothering decisions and, in your teary curled-up-in-bed-with-chocolate moments, feel like you’re being a crappy mama?
Surely by now you’d feel more adult-y and know how to handle all this, right?
You tell yourself the beautiful moments make up for the messier I-want-to-run-away moments, but deep down you wish you could stop time and love every fleeting moment more…
Some days you feel frustrated and alone, secretly resenting other mothers who have it “together” and showcase it all over social media.
Lean in sweet mama, you’re not alone.
I’ve acted in ways that felt out of alignment with my values and felt the subsequent flood of guilt, self-judgment, and frustration with myself.
I’ve isolated myself from support because I felt too ashamed to tell others about my big feelings, harsh words, and experience of powerlessness.
I’ve overcompensated by trying to be the perfect mother which left me feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and with a serious case of burnout.
It was only when I reconnected to myself and learned to listen to my inner wisdom, deepen into my power, and lead with my heart that everything shifted.
I grew into feeling more confident and began experiencing more joy and ease meeting the day-to-day “demands” of mamahood and life. Well hello mama flow.
Although things are by no means perfect, I’m now living fuller, freer, and happier than before I became a mother.
Lean in sweet mama, you’re not alone.
In my most challenging mama moments, I’ve acted in ways that felt out of alignment with my values and felt the subsequent flood of guilt, self-judgment, and frustration with myself.
I’ve isolated myself from support because I felt too ashamed to tell others about my big feelings, harsh words, and experience of powerlessness.
I’ve overcompensated by trying to be the perfect mother which – coupled with working full time – left me feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and with a serious case of burnout.
It was only when I reconnected to myself and learned to listen to my inner wisdom, deepen into my power, and lead with my heart that everything shifted.
I grew into feeling more empowered as a mother and as a woman, and began experiencing more ease meeting the day-to-day demands of mamahood and life. Well hello mama flow.
Although things are by no means easy or perfect, I’m now able to live fuller, love deeper, and appreciate the gift of motherhood.
While doing work I love. While traveling and adventuring. While being fully me.
Lovely can you imagine:
- Intuitively knowing what is best for you and your family and feeling confident in your ability to give your children the care they need to grow into compassionate, loving adults?
- Being more patient and consciously managing your emotions as a model for your children – even while they’re screaming bloody murder at the grocery store?
- Feeling truly held, heard, seen, and supported – and able to build a deep connection to your child by gifting this experience to them too?
- Knowing how to integrate motherhood with your work in the world more skillfully and experiencing daily miracles amidst the mundane?
Motherhood is an initiation. An invitation to grow and find your flow.
It doesn’t have to feel so hard or so lonely lovely.
Let’s call in more ease and space, with a generous sprinkling of joy and grace.
The Peace Within – Mama Flow Circle
The Peace Within Mama Flow Circle supports you to experience the gift of motherhood with an open heart – calm, confident, and more connected to yourself and your family. Over the course of the 40 day journey you’ll experience 3 key shifts:
– From crazy mama chaos to more calm, ease and joy in every area of your life
– From feeling like a crappy mama to feeling like a confident and capable woman
– From experiencing conflict and daily clashes to experiencing deeper connection
And yes, all of this is possible even when you’re running on little to no sleep (we’ll look into that too!).
This isn’t a quick fix self-study course that’ll leave you alone to follow through and then judge yourself for failing. It’s a journey with a circle of other women that will transform how you show up every day.
The Circle is your safe haven – a judgment-free space where you can rant about the small stuff and feel supported around the big stuff as you navigate the choppy waters of finding your mama flow.
With The Peace Within Mama Flow Circle you will:
Motherhood is a journey and a daily practice.
A challenge and a privilege.
An opportunity to elevate future generations and yourself.
Historically women have embarked on the mama path with a village of other women offering them strength, wisdom, and a loving shoulder to cry on.
I know I wouldn’t be where I am without the mentors, coaches, teachers, sisters and loved ones who’ve walked beside me on this path.
You take care of everyone mama, but who’s supporting you?
“Catarina is a true mother of mothers. She gently, lovingly, and artfully holds women on the dance towards their highest vision and truest selves. Place yourself in the path of her guidance; you’ll be so grateful that you did.”
Nisha Moodley, United StatesWhat We’ll Cover
The Peace Within gives you the best of both worlds: time-tested teachings from ancient wisdom traditions, together with leading edge mind-body science – delivered in a practical, down-to-earth, and easy to digest way. Each week for six weeks we’ll unlock one of these 6 magical keys:
Key 1: Reverence
- Appreciating, respecting, and honouring your fears and your flaws so that you and your inner child can feel safe, grounded, and whole again. Healing ancestral drama, trauma, and karma so you can move forward free from old patterns and prevent passing them on to your children.
Key 2: Emotional Sovereignty
Owning your feelings and moods, as well as your power to handle them and your children’ s big emotions. Feeling, being, and navigating your cyclical, lunar, emotional self while still being an anchor of peace and love for your children.
Key 3: Caliber + Commitment
Claiming directive authority in your life, shifting your mindset, and showing up with more clarity, focus, and ease. Upholding loving boundaries without drowning in guilt and shifting your relationship with time so you can create more space and grace in your busy day for what matters most.
Key 4: Open-Heartedness
Engaging with yourself, loved ones, and experiences with an open heart no matter the circumstances – especially when it is most difficult to do so and we want to close ourselves off. Tuning into compassion and forgiveness while detaching from the need to save, fix, or heal others.
Key 5: Devotion
Honoring your truth, voice, intuition, and body (and modelling this for your children) while mastering the art of receiving, surrendering and trust. Elevating the energetic tapestry of your home and moving past the myth of self-care.
Key 6: Presence
Actively managing your energy and cultivating the presence you want to be so you can live, lead, and mother from peace and love – and AS peace and love embodied – instead of from fear, no matter what. The magical art of being and how to weave presence into your day effortlessly.
This isn’t your mama’s old school parenting advice, which barely scratches the surface of mothering on an emotional, energetic, and spiritual level.
In fact, it’s not parenting advice at all because that’s not what you really need lovely. The Peace Within is a Hogwarts-meets-Red-Tent journey of releasing, expanding, embodying and lightening up – sprinkled with glitter and a loving embrace ’cause that’s how we roll around here.
You’ll draw from mind-body science, energy and sound medicine, ancient wisdom teachings and your own intuition to deepen your capacity to mother and to lead from love in other areas of your life.
Sound airy fairy and too woo for you? My smarty pants “I’m published in academic journals” brain used to think so too. And then motherhood happened and I wanted all. the. tools. so I ate some humble pie… and found pure gold. The wisdom nuggets you’ll learn are practical and real-world-doable because motherhood is REAL.
“Thanks Catarina, I couldn’t have had this conversation with my family without you! It was amazing to be genuinely listened to and to see the valuable input my boys gave… I should have done this long ago! I now know that I have the support of my boys and I can also be a more loving person around them. Also, with more time to myself I can now finally start to write storybooks as I always wanted!”
Noorul-Hoda Smith, South AfricaWhat You’ll Receive

“Catarina is peace. She radiates a loving calm and compassion with every breath she takes. She is also one of the few people I’ve met who truly walks her talk, living all of the things she preaches and teaches. This authenticity makes her very rare and someone I hold close to my heart.
Working with Catarina teaches you to find and hold your center in the midst of everyday craziness — causing a ripple effect that balances and calms everyone around you.
One person radiating calm in a home makes for a peaceful family. This type of family environment is desperately needed at this time and Catarina is, without a doubt, the catalyst for this change.”
Theresa Venezia, United States
The Peace Within Mama Flow Circle is for you if:
-
You’re into personal development, self-reflection, and feel called to grow more fully into your role as a mother and as a woman
-
You’re looking to bring more mindfulness and consciousness to your motherhood journey, rather than simply seeking ‘parenting advice’
-
You’re more concerned with seeing your child evolve into their true self than with having them sit still, be quiet, and behave all the time
-
You question the status quo and are pretty sure other mamas think you’re kinda weird
Common Questions
What is the timing for the Circle?
The Circle will come together and begin journeying on October 29th for 40 days. The Facebook group will remain open after the 40 days so you can continue interacting with the other mamas in the circle including Catarina.
How does it work?
You receive the thematic teachings, playbooks, meditations and more – including the guest mentor interviews – as part of the journey over the course of 40 days. You will receive support through the Weekly Circle calls and connect with other women in the Peace Within Mama Flow Circle online community which remains open beyond the 40 days.
What if I miss a community Circle call?
Calls will be recorded so you can listen to the recording whenever suits you. You can also submit your questions to have them answered even if you cannot make the call.
I’m ridiculously exhausted and busy. What’s the time commitment?
1-2 hours per week, depending on your level of engagement. Content is easy to digest and to fit into your schedule at any time of day. You receive unlimited access to the content for as long as I continue to run this course, so you can go through it at your own pace and revisit as often as you’d like.
Sounds good, but I’m not sure. Can I change my mind and get a refund?
Yes – I want you to be a stress-free, happy mama! You’re invited to try out the first week risk-free. If for some reason you’re not happy with your experience, let us know within the first 7 days and you’ll receive a full refund.
What if I have other questions?

Peggy Oliveira, Mexico“Catarina’s work is some of the most beautiful and loving support I’ve ever experienced. She really sees you for who you are, and artfully guides your transformation to feeling whole and standing in your truth and power as a woman and a mother. She does this with deep compassion and belly laughs, and I love her down-to-earth yet light infused presence.
