If you’ve ever felt unmothered while mothering, or sensed the Earth’s grief in your own body, you’re not alone. I created the Mother Tree Method™ to help mothers like you heal trauma responses and rediscover belonging through nature.
Hello and welcome, I'm Dr. Allie Davis! I’m a 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.
Eco-distress is not pathology, it’s a call to reconnection.
The healing of the Earth and the healing of mothers are one and the same.
My Background
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-focused 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.

What Mothers are Saying
Feedback from 1:1 clients and mothers who have participated in my support groups.
"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."
