About Us
Stephi Wagner, MSW was trained as a therapist and currently operates as a coach and mother wound specialist. She is the courageous voice behind the popular taboo-busting Instagram account @motherwoundproject.
After earning both her undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor (Go Blue!), Stephi founded the Mother Wound Project, which she now’s serves as the director. In addition, Stephi works privately with clients impacted by the mother wound, is the author of Reclaim, and hosts Breakthrough, the #1 online mother wound community.
Stephi is sought internationally for her expertise in the mother wound, as well as in attachment trauma, developmental trauma, complex trauma, parental trauma, parenting after trauma, parent-child estrangement, and reconciliation.
Stephi is a survivor of the mother wound and the father wound. She splits her parent-free-and-happy life between Ann Arbor and Detroit in her favorite state of Michigan where she lives with her husband of 17 years, their son, and the family’s resident felines. When she’s not thinking or talking about the mother wound, you’ll find Stephi knitting, hiking, crocheting, reading, or hand quilting.
