"This revelatory book was the guide I most needed as a young mother--and which I will be pressing into the hands of every expectant parent I know. Gertrude Lyons gifts us life-changing wisdom as she helps us de-condition from our unconscious myths around mothering and give birth to a healing vision for ourselves, our children and the world. This is an essential, urgent book I hope everyone, everyone, reads and shares." - Perdita Finn, author of Way of the Rose, Take Back the Magic and Mothers of Magic 

“Dr. Gertrude Lyons’ Rewrite the Mother Code is a transformative guide that invites us to see motherhood—not as a role confined to biology—but as a universal, cosmic force of creativity, nurturing, and self-discovery. As a gay transgender father who has walked my own path of reimagining family, fertility, and selfhood, I was deeply moved by the book’s bold call to reclaim and rewrite the stories we inherit about parenting, caregiving, and community. This is a must-read for anyone longing to connect with the sacred, healing power of mothering in all its forms.” - Trystan Reese, author of How We Do Family

“A necessary and vital re-imagining of motherhood through Dr. Lyons radical and innovative theory and practice of Rewrite the Mother Code. The book opens up narrow conceptions of what mothering is to redefine and reinvent motherhood as site of empowerment for all who engage in mothering however it may be determined and experienced. The book rightly and persuasively argues that this reimagining and rewriting must first and foremost begin with all of us, including mothers themselves, honoring, valuing, and supporting every mother. A splendidly insightful and hopeful book that envisions a more just and caring world for mothers and their families.” - Dr. Andrea O’Reilly, Founder of motherhood studies, maternal theory, and matricentric feminism and author of In (M)other- words: Writings on Mothering and Motherhood, 2009-2024 and Matricentric Feminism: Theory, Activism, Practice

“This book is a gift to the heart and soul, whether you are a mother of children, or learning to mother yourself. The writing is so clear, poetic and impactful that I can feel the transmission of what mother- hood can mean for us all. Dr. Gertrude wraps her words around us like loving arms, reminding us that there is a mother within, and a mother in our creator. that we can always tap into and rely on.”

- Sophia Trevenna, Author of The Power of the Divine Feminine in Business   

“Dr. Gertrude Lyons has written the book I wish I’d had at the start of my journey as a mother. Wise, worldly, and brimming with transformative teachings, it offers a wellspring of inspiration at the intersection of the mystical and the practical. Lyons guides us to connect with the divine wisdom within so we can transform life’s hardships into healing and self-trust. More than a book, Rewrite the Mother Code is a revolutionary call to re-envision how we mother in all areas of our lives.” - Alexia Vernon, Speaking and Thought Leadership Expert, author of Step into Your Moxie: Amplify Your Voice, Visibility, and Influence in the World  

“The Mother archetype is associated with qualities such as nur- turing, love, compassion, perfection, creativity, but it can also be linked to feelings of vulnerability and doubt, and poor self- worth. Dr. Gertrude Lyons illuminates and decodes the latent hidden feelings many of us might carry to help us all realize we are all mothers, we are all nurturers, we all possess qualities of compassion and creativity, and we are all capable of harnessing the energies that are inherent in energies of mothering. Dr. Lyons is rooting for us to reach our own full potential as individuals and to find our own unique mothering code, so we are able to connect to our own great source of potential within us without following a limited prescribed role that leads to burn-out and at times despair.”

“What a tremendous gift this book is to mothers, and to all humanity! Rewrite the Mother Code lays out how to shed the old, damaging stories of motherhood and actively step into mothering from our values, vision, and joy. This is a book to read before you become a mother, if you have young or grown children, or if you are in any role with kids. May this book become a companion and champion especially for all new mothers. It is a pathway for deep family, and global, healing.” - HeatherAsh Amara, author of Warrior Goddess Training and Wild, Willing, and Wise

"Rewrite the Mother Code by Dr. Gertrude Lyons is an essential, transformative guide that challenges and redefines our understanding of motherhood, humanity, and the act of nurturing. Lyons masterfully weaves poetry, guided meditation, history, storytelling, and reflective prose into a compelling journey of self-discovery. Through each page, readers are invited to explore the depths of their own psyche and awaken to new ways of thinking and being that are sorely needed in today’s world. This book is not just a read; it’s an immersive experience—one that calls for a shift in how we see ourselves and embrace the power of nurturing ourselves, others, all children and the world, moving far beyond traditional views of motherhood. Lyons’ work feels timely, necessary, and nothing short of groundbreaking.” - Dr. Dominica McBride, founder and director of Become, author of Becoming Change Makers: The Exquisite Path to Leadership and Liberation for Women of Color

“Dr. Lyons is your guide and more importantly, a true companion on the journey. She is kind, authentic, humble and witty. In short; she makes the journey of exploring mothering energies both interesting, thought provoking and fun. Do a favor to yourself, to a loved one, to your best friends, read or have them read this book.”- Mary Sommers, Author of More Than A Midwife: Stories of Glory, Grace, and Motherhood 

“I wish I'd had this book to read when I was pregnant, in fact I wish I’d had it long before. And it isn't just for mothers. All of us have or had a mother, and live with the imprint not only of who and how she was but with how society sees motherhood in general. Reading the book really does rewrite a code, a code we weren’t even conscious of having received but which definitely needed a modern - and a mystical - rewrite. Bravo to Gertrude Lyons for doing it. Many destinies will unfold differently because you did.” - Marianne Willamson, Marianne Williamson, New York Times bestselling author of A Return to Loveand A Woman's Worth

“Dr. Gertrude Lyons has written a cosmic reclamation for the everywoman. Rewrite the Mother Code is more than a book about mothering. It's even more than a guide for women seeking deeper connection to their children and themselves. This book is a transcendent transmission, channeled from the author’s personal motherhood journey as much as her deep spiritual wisdom, as she takes us on a profound inner voyage to heal, awaken and activate our collective feminine power at this time in humanity. As you read these pages, Dr. Lyons is here to help you remember -- children or no children -- that we are all on the same sisterhood team, and that within every woman exists every woman.” - Jessica Zweig, best-selling author of The Light Work, and Be
