Emily Cleghorn

Emily Cleghorn is a coach, educator, podcaster, author, and speaker specializing in the intersection of trauma, motherhood, nervous system regulation, and breaking generational cycles. As the founder of Mamahood After Trauma, Emily helps trauma-surviving mothers understand why motherhood can bring old wounds, triggers, and survival patterns to the surface—and learn practical ways to respond differently without expecting themselves to be perfectly healed first. Her approach combines trauma-informed education, nervous system awareness, compassionate self-reflection, and practical tools for everyday motherhood. Emily believes that triggers are not evidence that a mother is broken; they can be invitations to understand what her mind and body are carrying. Emily is particularly passionate about maternal mental health and matrescence, the profound transformation that occurs as women become and continue to grow as mothers. She is currently pursuing graduate education in counselling psychology with the long-term goal of specializing in perinatal and maternal mental health. Through her podcast and educational work, Emily creates honest, accessible resources for mothers who want to heal their past, parent with greater intention, and build something different for the next generation.
