South Devon Practitioner Launches Online Programme to Help Women Break Cycles of Generational Trauma

South Devon-based practitioner Martine Shelley has announced the launch of her next Mother Line Healing Programme, an eight-week online course beginning on 5th October 2025. The programme is designed to help women understand and heal the hidden impact of generational trauma, restoring peace in their homes and lives.

Generational trauma refers to the way unresolved pain, stress and emotional patterns are passed down through families, often silently, from one generation to the next. It can impact our development as we grow through life and often shows as repeated cycles of conflict, feelings of disconnection or unexplained anxiety and health challenges. Although research increasingly highlights its role in mental and physical wellbeing, it remains largely overlooked by mainstream medicine and support services.

Martine’s programme offers a unique pathway for women who sense that events in their family’s past still affect them today, but cannot see how or why these patterns continue. By combining ancestral healing with trauma-informed practices, she provides a structured process for women to reclaim calm and clarity in their lives.

“Generational trauma is impacting women on a much deeper level than many realise,” said Martine. “Women are often not being given the right information to understand why the past still impacts them or how to change the dynamics within their adult family homes. This programme gives women a clear and compassionate route to begin breaking those cycles.”

The Mother Line Healing Programme is delivered entirely online, allowing women from across the UK and beyond to take part. It is suited to those looking to reclaim peace in their family homes and women seeking to better understand themselves and their family dynamics.
