what do you believe about love?
Somewhere along the way, you were taught that love had to be earned.
Raised in loveless environments, giving birth within systems that echoed that ache — now, as a mother, you wonder: Can I give what I never fully received?
It’s natural to reach for self-love. But for many of us, self-love culture mimics the very conditions that wounded us: performance, perfection, the pressure to earn tenderness.
Self-regard offers another way. It’s not about striving, but about showing up — to your body, your boundaries, and your breath.
This is where a new love ethic begins.
Namaste. I am Danielle Jernigan — writer, yoga therapist-in-training, future somatic counselor and founder of Ink & OM Studio.
I serve women navigating mother ache gently build trust in their capacity to love their children well, through embodied insight, therapeutic ritual, and deep inner listening.
Work With Me - Ritual.
Ritual is what self-regard looks like in motion — a daily return to presence, care, and inner trust. Ritual is a custom-designed, somatic practice — lovingly crafted to honor the way your body carries memory, fear, and longing. I don’t just meet with you — I listen, design, and guide you toward something sacred and sustaining. This is not a one-size-fits-all session. It’s your Ritual.
