Welcome.

At the forefront of cultural renewal, Dr. Jessica Spring Weappa is advancing mothering as a source of foundational relational wisdom, embodied intelligence, and creative power. For over two decades, she has served as an interdisciplinary educator and cultural leader, sharing her creative methodologies and mother-centered leadership principles with thousands of women. Her groundbreaking doctoral research examines how fear of authentic maternal power functions as a socio-cultural and economic shadow, often preventing wise, capable women from fully inhabiting their inner authority, relational clarity, creative agency, integrated selfhood, and social impact. Her work has been recognized as “herstoric” in re-centering the wisdom of mothering as a vital dimension of human potential.

She is the author of several peer-reviewed academic book chapters and the forthcoming book The Matriarch’s Journey. Jessica is also the creator of the Innate Life Design Method™, architect of Regenerative Maternal Ethics, thought leader of (R)evolutionary Matrisophy, and founder of the Mothering Futures® Institute for Mother-Centered Leadership. Through these original contributions, she brings a visionary yet grounded approach to personal development and cultural transformation.

As a Narrative Therapist, she helps mothers disentangle their sense of self from inherited expectations and systemic pressures, reclaiming a sense of who they are on their own terms. In her role as a parent coach, she has supported hundreds of families in simplifying daily life and deepening connection. As a volunteer birth attendant, she has accompanied under-resourced women in reclaiming their sense of agency through the existential experience of birth giving.

Jessica’s original scholarship has been presented at dozens of academic conferences, while her community leadership, grounded in a spirit of philanthropy, has taken shape through consciousness-raising initiatives for women and mothers, rites of passage, and transformational retreats. Today, she designs impactful and fulfilling programs for educators, coaches, authors, speakers, community leaders, and visionaries working at the intersection of maternal wellbeing, cultural renewal, and global changemaking. Increasingly recognized as a leader of leaders, she has influenced many of today’s most successful mothering experts and birth professionals through early mentorship, long before formally entering the business world herself.

In addition to numerous certifications and specializations in somatic studies, depth psychology, Steiner education, and related fields, Jessica holds a master’s degree in Human Development from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota and a Ph.D. in Transformative Studies from the California Institute of Integral Studies. Before dedicating herself to motherhood, she worked as a professional theater artist with avant-garde companies, performed as a singer under the lights of Prince’s nightclub, and received offers from Broadway and film. She is the proud mother of two creative young adults who are now college graduates, each making their own beautiful way in the world. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her exuberant golden retriever, Lumi, and her two beloved cats, Oona and Olivar.
