The Inner Child & Family Within

With Jocelyn Bates

Your Inner Child doesn’t thrive in isolation. She needs her family around her — the Sage who listens without judgment, the Mother who nurtures without controlling, and the Father who protects with healthy boundaries. In this 7-day journey, you’ll meet each member of your inner family through meditation, visualization, and journaling. You’ll witness both their gifts and shadows, explore how they interact as a living system, and begin to create an inner home where your Child can feel safe, free, and fully alive. This is more than another inner child meditation. It’s a path to wholeness — where the Child within is supported, your creativity is freed, and healing becomes part of your everyday life.

Jocelyn Bates is a Creative Midwife, Soul Art® Guide, and Akashic Wisdom Keeper who has spent years guiding women through grief, transition, and creative awakening. With a background in expressive arts therapy, yoga nidra, nervous system healing, EFT, and energy work, she weaves together the psychological, creative, and spiritual threads of transformation. Her own journey through loss and rebirth led her to discover that the Inner Child cannot thrive in isolation — she needs the Sage, the Mother, and the Father within to be acknowledged and balanced. This lived experience, combined with her certifications and deep spiritual practice, form the foundation of her teaching. Jocelyn’s work is not about fixing, but freeing — helping women reclaim their voice, their creativity, and their wholeness through embodied practices, ritual, and soul-centered expression.
