Whitney Kear is the founder of Motherwell, a space devoted to women’s wholeness, vitality, and remembering. Her work is guided by the knowing that when a woman comes home to herself - to her rhythms, her truth, her joy - she transforms not only her own life, but the world around her.

With a background in psychology, more than 20 years of study in integrative wellness and the healing arts, and many years in leadership and mentorship, Whitney bridges both science and soul. She blends intuitive guidance with embodied practices, creating spaces that are warm, grounded, and clear.

She is also a co-author of the bestselling book Heart-Centered Leadership, and her work has touched mission-driven organizations, creative communities, and countless women walking the path of becoming.

As a highly sensitive and creative guide, Whitney has lived the very journey she supports others through: moving from self-abandonment and striving into grounded self-trust, joy, and freedom. The medicine she offers is the medicine she longed for - spaces of devotion, depth, and gentle power where women can return to themselves, again and again.
