Testimonials from Graduates
"As a trained family therapist there was a real gap in my understanding of why my female adolescent clients struggled so much with their mothers. At the same time I wondered why I struggled with my own mother, I certainly knew we weren’t all “bad”, though that is what most people believe about teen girls.
Learning about mother-daughter attachment from Rosjke changed everything for me personally and professionally. It helped me heal my past with my mother, it’s opened my eyes to what I never knew I was missing with my own daughter and sparked a life passion within me to help mothers and daughters have their absolute best relationship with each other for the rest of their lives.
Rosjke’s knowledge is changing the lives of women and together we will change the future for all daughters. I know this is true."
~Hilary Truong www.hilarymae.com


"As a therapist and life coach who works primarily with women, going through the Mother-Daughter Attachment training has transformed my practice. It has helped me to further integrate systems theory into my work, removing the blaming/shaming factor that inadvertently comes when addressing relationship issues. I feel liberated in the way I work with my clients using the mother-daughter mapping as a great launching pad for creating insight and awareness and I integrate the mapping with every single client I see.
The resources, reading materials and live training are rich in connection and information. You get to experience what you will be doing - probably the best way to learn! I immediately weaved in the new tools and insight in my therapy practice.
The experience of the training helped me personally in my own journey as a daughter and mother and it helped me to have the courage to continue to listen to my own inner wisdom and desires, which led me to create my coaching practice for women. Mother-Daughter Attachment training has been a seed that continues to bear fruit, both personally and professionally. I highly, highly recommend it."
~Emily Bitner www.emilybitner.com/
"I really didn't know what to expect when I started this journey. I was just so intrigued in understanding the Mother-Daughter dynamics; where it goes wrong, why do certain things happen, and why did I parent my own daughters differently? This course completely blew me away; I was given a whole new reality and finally, it all started to make sense. My relationship with my own mother had its flaws and problems, but I could never fully uncover the real answer as to why. This course has underlined, set in bold and highlighted it all for me. I can move into my future with clarity, forgiveness and empathy for my own (now deceased) mother. The true powerful healing process has happened, is still happening, and I look forward to embracing the future even more now with my own daughters. Alongside this, I have found my tribe of women, I feel heard and supported and seen."

Teaching Faculty
Executive Director/Founder - Rosjke Hasseldine
My passion for understanding and healing the mother-daughter bond started over thirty years ago when my daughter was born. This led me to graduate with a masters’ degree in Counseling from Indiana University in 1997, gain accreditation and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and Professional membership of the American Counseling Association.
I have worked with thousands of mothers and daughters from different countries and cultures, developed the Mother-Daughter Attachment® Model and written two books, “The Silent Female Scream” and “The Mother-Daughter Puzzle”.
I speak at professional and women’s conferences, have spoken at the United Nations Commission for the Status of Women, and been featured on Canadian television and a HuffPost UK podcast.
Through Mother-Daughter Coaching International, I pass on what I have learned to therapists and coaches, and mothers and daughters. For more biographical details visit www.rosjke.com/about-rosjke/

Tutor – Bibi Jamieson
I have a very simple view of life - that love makes the world a better place. I believe that healthy relationships are crucial to emotional wellbeing. I have always been fascinated by how our world impacts relationships, and in turn, how these relationships impact our world.
I started out volunteering as a premarital guidance counsellor - exploring how individual experiences, cultures, beliefs, values, and family histories impacted how couples relate. To deepen my understanding of relationships and develop my skills further, I trained and certified as an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. This forced me to look at my own relationships and bring shadows to light. I’ve also gone on to train as a Relationship & Couples Therapist, and Womanhood coach.
Whilst all these trainings have been beneficial, I still felt there was a gap – the impact of race, culture, and patriarchy in relationships. A lot of the theory I had learned was Eurocentric and mostly written by males. As a Nigerian woman living in the UK, with a mixed-race family, and a very diverse private practice, these theories didn’t seem to consider mine and my clients' lived experiences. I needed more – and stumbling upon one of Rosjke’s articles, I found the missing piece of the puzzle!
Mother-Daughter Attachment training considers generational and cultural themes that affect how we relate as mothers, daughters, wives, and sisters. My clients and I have healed, been empowered, and benefited greatly from Rosjke's work. I am honoured and privileged to be a part of this faculty. www.restoretolove.co.uk

Tutor – Brittney Scott
I am the oldest daughter and the mother of a daughter. I am a new mom turning to my mom for support. I feel fulfilled and growing pains from this new role and my own mother-daughter relationship. As a licensed professional counselor, I have worked with many girls and women and noticed that my work always took us back to the relationship with their mother and I was lost on what to do. That is how I found Rosjke and everything clicked! I finally had a tool to help girls and women move past being stuck with how to use their voice and get what they needed from their relationship with their mother. I am so passionate about working with mothers and daughters because it is the most important relationship that we have and the one that changes the most. I enjoy seeing relationship lightbulb moments and healing that is so powerful, that it changes the next generation. When women know how to use their voice, they learn how to get their needs met in a healthy, successful way. I want mothers and daughters to feel confident in their relationships that it spills over into other parts of their lives. I believe that healing happens with knowledge and the mother-daughter puzzle will open your eyes to who your family is and can become. I am honored and excited to be a teaching member of Mother-Daughter Coaching International and be a part of the healing that takes place when mothers and daughters listen to each other. www.unshatteredcounseling.com

Tutor – Erica Garcia Thomas
I'm the owner of Vita Nova Counseling PLLC located in the Greater Austin area. My passion and niche are helping mothers and daughters find healing and hope in their mother-daughter relationships and assisting women and teenage girls in reclaiming their power and authentic selves. My passion and niche were inspired through both my professional and personal experiences. Through my 18+ years of being a clinician, I’ve seen thousands of women who came to me feeling stuck, only to figure out that part of this was related to their mother-daughter relationship. I too, have had a complicated, unhealthy mother-daughter relationship with my own mother. So I personally know the effects of this. One day, I came across Rosjke’s article featured in Counseling Today called “The Root Cause of Mother-Daughter Conflict.” In that article, she brilliantly and thoughtfully conceptualized mother-daughter relationships in a way I’ve never heard before. This article made me want to learn more from her, so I enrolled in the Mother-Daughter Attachment Training Course and became a Certified Mother-Daughter Coach. I learned so much by taking this course, and it enhanced my professional development. I’m honored to be part of the Mother Daughter Coaching International Teaching Faculty, which not only gives me the privilege of sharing the gift of this training course to colleagues, but I also get to be part of something bigger than myself. www.vncLH.com
