I'M DR. ALLIE DAVIS
I’m a maternal ecotherapist, educator, and a pioneer in the field of maternal ecopsychology. I created the Mother Tree Method® to help mothers and helping professionals navigate the sacred, tangled terrain of matrescence, eco-distress, and reconnection.
My work is rooted in the belief that mothers carry the seeds of cultural transformation. When supported, seen, and held in community with the more-than-human world, we don’t just heal—we regenerate.
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 a way back to wholeness.
Why Maternal Ecopsychology
Maternal ecopsychology is more than a field—it’s a reclamation.
It names what’s been silenced: the grief of disconnected motherhood, the wisdom of matrescence, the ecological truth at the heart of caregiving.
This work invites us to remember that motherhood is not a private struggle, but a sacred ecological role. When we heal the mother, we restore the world.
