Is This for You?
You may feel drawn to Mother’s Hollow if you:
Find yourself aware of how motherhood has changed you, but have no real space to talk about it
Notice that moments from pregnancy, birth, postpartum, or parenting still live in you—whether recent or from long ago
Long for thoughtful, heartfelt conversation with other mothers
Feel deeply about your children and the experience of motherhood, and want to share both the challenges and the joys with others
Have a sense that something important is happening within you as a mother, but haven’t had a place to explore it
Mother’s Hollow offers a place to pause, rest, and be held in community—a space to share, listen, and reflect. You are warmly welcome here.
Mother’s Hollow is a sanctuary for the psychological and identity transformation of motherhood. A place to return to the soul of the
maternal journey through community, coaching, and depth work.
Mother’s Hollow was founded by developmental psychologist Dr. Jennifer Weaver, whose work focuses on the psychology of motherhood
and maternal well-being.
Jennifer M. Weaver, PhD
Hello—I'm so glad you're here. Welcome to Mother’s Hollow.
I’m a mother of four, a writer, a seeker of depth, an aspiring intuitive, and a developmental psychologist specializing in maternal and child psychology. I cling to the natural world, where I often find order for my internal chaos.
I created Mother’s Hollow to offer other mothers the support I wish I’d had—a place to be held through the invisible, internal work of motherhood. A place to find meaning in the transformations that accompany this profound life journey.
As an introvert, I have experienced motherhood as both overwhelming and transformational. I am not the same person I was before I had children. I founded Mother’s Hollow as a place where mothers can connect, discover their own inner wisdom, recognize and appreciate their personal growth, and feel the comfort of being held by others. Modern motherhood rarely gives us a place to rest, be nourished, or be seen.
I invite you to step into Mother’s Hollow and find that space for yourself.

Mentoring for your Motherhood Journey
Find your Wisdom
As a mother of four and a developmental psychologist, I understand the terrain of modern motherhood from both lived experience and years of study. Mother mentoring is a reflective partnership — a space to pause, think deeply, and find clarity in seasons when the path forward feels uncertain or overwhelming. Rather than offering advice or directives, I walk alongside you with steadiness and perspective, helping you hear your own inner wisdom more clearly. It is not therapy, but a growth-oriented space for mothers seeking discernment and grounded support.
Classes and Workshops
Learn
Explore the inner landscape of motherhood with psychologically informed, soul-centered classes. A community of mothers gathered to explore their matrescence, emotional lives, and personal understandings of motherhood, led by an expert in maternal and child psychology. Learning about yourself and how you interact with the world is the best gift you can give your children.

A hollow is a holding place.
A place to rest while your roots deepen.
A place to listen.
A place to grow.
This is what I hope to offer you.
