I'M DR. ALLIE DAVIS
I’m Dr. Allie Davis — maternal ecotherapist, educator, and pioneer in the field of maternal ecopsychology. I created the Mother Tree Method® to help mothers heal from coercive control and to understand eco-distress not as pathology, but as the Earth’s cry felt in their bodies. My work is rooted in the belief that the same domination mentality harms both mothers and Mother Earth — and that through ecospiritual reconnection, we can restore resilience, belonging, and reciprocity.
My Beliefs
Motherhood is not meant to be endured in isolation. We are never really alone when rooted in place.
Eco-distress is not pathology — it is the wisdom of the Earth expressed through mothers.
The same domination mentality harms both mothers and Mother Earth — and we can heal together through reconnection.
MY STORY
I came to this work not from theory, but from the forest floor — holding my child, holding my breath, holding it all together. I know what it is to feel unmothered while mothering. The dominant systems told me I was the problem. Nature told a different story. Trees became my teachers. Seasons became my mirrors.
With a PhD in feminist theory, a background in trauma-informed therapy, and a deep reverence for the Earth, I began weaving a new path: the Mother Tree Method®. This framework is both a healing practice and a map of return — for mothers, therapists, and healers seeking wholeness in a fractured world.
Why Maternal Ecopsychology
Maternal ecopsychology is more than a field — it is a reclamation. It names what has been silenced: the grief of disconnected motherhood, the wisdom of matrescence, the ecological truth at the heart of caregiving. It reminds us that motherhood is not a private struggle but a sacred ecological role. When we heal the mother, we restore the world.

What Mothers are Saying
"The group shifted my understanding of motherhood by empowering me to honor this new stage of my life as an opportunity to reconnect with my ecological self and navigate how it is evolving."
"Through this group, I realized I am not alone. So many mothers share these feelings, and being in community helped me feel part of a web of mothers instead of isolated."
"Eco-distress used to feel like weakness, but now I see it as my body responding to the Earth’s cries. That shift has made me feel connected instead of broken."
