In her newly updated classic, Wild Mothering: Finding Power, Spirit, and Joy in Birth and a Creative Motherhood, women’s health physical therapist Tami Lynn Kent draws from clinical work with thousands of women, along with her personal journey of motherhood, and shares how to access the potent life-giving and nurturing energy inherent in every woman. From her practice, she has learned how to read the energy patterns of what she calls women’s “pelvic bowl” from which a woman’s creative and essential energy flows. Kent conveys her groundbreaking energy medicine for accessing healing after giving birth and using the potent energy as an infinite resource for life.

Importantly, she emphasizes that her message isn’t a requirement for women to do more, but is a guide to accessing the potential women already have. Her gentle guidance leads those trying to conceive, recover from childbirth, or raise children to better understand the profound creative forces women embody.
Now a mother to three young men, she draws back the curtain on her own mothering joys and sorrows, including how she healed body and spirit after miscarrying her “Spirit daughter.” The wisdom she shares about reconciling her pre-motherhood life as a driven professional with her role as a mother – when she “no longer had the space to accomplish long lists of objectives each day and learned to follow a deeper flow that arises while tending the home fire” – is among the central messages that today’s mothers can take to heart.
Emphasizing that motherhood initiates women into the lineage of mothers through the generations, and the dichotomy of expanding the spirit as well as surrendering to pure presence, Kent’s Wild Mothering celebrates the core creative essence that mothers put forth in making a soulful life with their children and immediate family.

She writes, “Mothering is my daily walk in the mystery of life. In the tending of children and home, I bear witness to the sacred in both the simple and significant events we encounter together.”
Kent’s updated edition to her previous Mothering from Your Center offers a needed antidote to the frenzied Supermom identity projected through popular culture. It invites women to embrace their wild mothering that explores deeper meaning and sustains their mothering souls.
