What Motherhood Has Taught Me: Wisdom From the Prescription Community

As Mother’s Day approaches, we wanted to take a moment to honour the women in our community who nurture, lead, carry, comfort, move, and show up — every single day.

At Prescription, we are privileged to witness the strength and softness of motherhood in every form — in our trainers, our team, and our clients. So we asked a few of them:

“What has motherhood taught you?”

Their answers are honest, powerful, and deeply human — just like the movement we share on the Reformer.

Vanessa Motte, Prescription Founder

“Motherhood has taught me patience, resilience, and the incredible strength that comes from unconditional love. It's a daily reminder to slow down, be present, and lead by example — both in life and on the Reformer.”

Irem Ferreiro, Prescription Trainer

“Motherhood has taught me a depth of love and strength I never fully understood until I became a mother myself. Since losing my own mother, I find myself understanding her more deeply — her sacrifices, her patience, and her unwavering love. It’s made me feel closer to her than ever before.”

Sarah Bone, Prescription Marketing Lead

“Motherhood has taught me that I’m stronger than I ever imagined — and that leading by example matters more than words. Our kids don’t follow what we say, they follow what we do.”

Rocio Do Mingo, Prescription Client

“Motherhood taught me that women have superpowers — and you can actually do it all!”

Shirley Shreyer, Prescription Client

“Motherhood has taught me patience and my favourite mantra: this too shall pass!”

Alex Humphreys, Prescription Trainer

“Motherhood has taught me to embrace slowing down and being patient with my son — and with myself.”

To all the mothers, mothers-to-be, and mother-figures in our community, we see your strength. We’re inspired by your grace. And we’re so proud to move alongside you.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Prescription.
