I’m Abby Mortenson,
I’m a foster and adoptive mom, a social worker, and a trauma-informed somatic and yoga practitioner. My work is rooted in faith and a deep respect for all lived experiences.
I create embodied, sacred spaces—through circles, retreats, courses, and one-on-one sessions—where women and mothers can honor grief and joy, nourish their nervous systems, and experience healing in community. I’m especially passionate about supporting foster and adoptive mothers because I know firsthand how complex, beautiful, and challenging that call can be.
At the heart of my work is a hope is to help women and mothers tend their hearts, nervous systems, and stories—so they can connect with community, heal, and feel joy.
