When your child is struggling with PANS or PANDAS, so much of your time and energy goes toward helping them feel better. You're researching treatments, managing appointments, navigating flares, and trying to figure out what your child needs next.
Maybe your child doesn't have clear flares but has been struggling for a long time. Maybe things are improving, but you're still anticipating what might happen next. Or maybe you're in the middle of another difficult period, trying to get through each day.
You need support, too.
You deserve to feel better in your own life, even while you're helping your child get well.
Even when things are relatively calm, you may find yourself unable to relax because you don't know when the other shoe will drop.
When you feel better, everyone feels it
And through all of this, your own nervous system is responding to what your child and family are going through, too.
When your child is anxious, agitated, or escalating, it can be really easy to get pulled into that intensity yourself. And even when things settle down, your nervous system doesn't necessarily settle with them. You may still be carrying everything you've just been through.
Maybe you've made yoga, meditation, or exercise a priority, but you're finding that what used to help keep you feeling emotionally regulated isn't enough anymore. Or you go through periods where you're able to manage everything, until you hit a point of mental and emotional overload. You take some time to recover, begin feeling better, and then the cycle starts again.
I'm Dr. Maureen Magauran, a holistic psychiatrist and embodied leadership coach with over 20 years of experience working with women and more than 15 years studying meditation, energy work, and somatic practices. I've helped women move from anxiety and overwhelm to feeling more grounded, calm, and confident in themselves, with more time for their own needs and a clearer sense of what they want and how to move forward.
I'm also a Mom who has navigated PANS with my own family for over seven years, so I understand firsthand how challenging this journey can be.
I know what it's like to stay steady in moments that feel anything but steady. I also know how important it is to have support for yourself, and how much of a difference it can make when someone helps you recognize what's happening within you and gives you ways to work with it.
This is the kind of support I wish I had when we first began our journey with PANS and throughout the years that followed.
Meet Dr. Maureen Magauran
It's what I want other Moms to have access to as well.
I'd love to welcome you into the group.
What if you could feel more grounded, even when things are difficult?
I've worked for over 20 years as a holistic psychiatrist helping women heal from anxiety and depression, and I've studied meditation, energy work, and somatic practices for over 15 years. One of my strengths is that I can see what's happening underneath the surface, including things you may not recognize yourself. I'm very skilled at recognizing patterns that can be difficult to see when you're right in the middle of them, and helping you find a way forward that brings more peace and regulation into your life.
Through our work together, you'll receive personal guidance as well as practices you can use in your everyday life. We'll have weekly calls, and a private group space to connect for support between calls. We will work with what's actually happening for you in the moment, so you can begin to feel more grounded, respond differently during difficult moments, and make changes that support you and your family.
This is what I want for you too.

“There was a moment during our session when I felt a deep shift, almost like my system exhaled."
"It wasn't dramatic, but it was real.
Something I had been carrying didn't feel like mine anymore.
Since then, I've felt more at peace in my parenting and more centered in the midst of stress."
One Mom described a change in how she was responding to her child:
“My capacity to handle it has really shifted. The way I respond is so much more grounded, and I'm not as rocky, so he feels that too.”
What's happening inside the PANS/PANDAS Moms Group
Even just two weeks in, women in our current group are already beginning to make changes in how they're navigating their lives and relationships.
I'm helping them see what's happening beneath the surface of their experiences and to recognize things they may not have been aware of so that they can begin approaching situations differently. This includes how they communicate with their partners, how they ask for and receive support, and how they make room for their own needs.
For one Mom, our work helped her see her relationship with her husband from a different perspective. She began recognizing and appreciating what he was already doing, acknowledging how much things had improved, and becoming clearer about what she needed and how to communicate it.
“Communication is improving and I am making that time for me, which is going to help everyone in my family.”
They're finding more hope, reconnecting with themselves, and beginning to see that even when they can't control everything that's happening with their child, they can change how they're navigating the situation.
And those changes can have an impact throughout their family.
The Moms are also learning to regulate themselves during difficult moments with their children, working with their own energy to support themselves, get the rest and the physical activity they need and to care for themselves too. There is a ripple effect as they feel better, their child and family feels it too.
Through the work we're doing on co-regulation, they're beginning to recognize how their own steadiness can help their children feel steadier, too. As they change how they respond during a flare or a meltdown, it can change the experience for both of them.
This is a small group where you'll have the opportunity to bring what's happening in your own life and receive my personal guidance, while also learning from the experiences of other Moms who understand what you're going through.
During our live sessions, I'll share information about the nervous system, our energy, and the patterns that can develop as we navigate the specific difficult experiences that come with PANS and PANDAS. I'll also work directly with you, helping you recognize what's happening, see things from a different perspective, and find ways to make meaningful changes in your everyday life.
We also work directly with your body and energy through guided meditation, breathwork, energy work, and somatic practices. These are tools you can begin using in your everyday life, including during difficult moments with your child.
One Mom described what she experienced after a guided practice:
How we'll work together
You have access to me between sessions through our private group, where you can share what's coming up, ask questions, and receive ongoing guidance as you begin putting what you're learning into practice.
“It is amazing how much my mind shifted, just sitting here, not allowing those other things to take my space.”
Another Mom noticed something similar:
“It's mind blowing how much I can shift in just a few moments of doing that, and just really feeling myself, and just me.”
You will learn ways to come back to yourself, feel centered and even peaceful even when so much is happening around you.
One woman who worked with me privately described her experience this way:
“Maureen has a very unique and playful approach to her work. She blends her clinical background with meditation, energy work, and embodied movement in a way that feels grounded and effective.
Her work helped me get out of my head and into my body. It moved past the usual mental patterns and created a real sense of internal integrity and wholeness.
I highly recommend Maureen’s work for anyone wanting a deeper connection to themselves and healing that goes beyond understanding and into lived experience.”

Your own regulation matters more than you realize
You may find yourself becoming just as activated as they are, even when you're trying to help them settle.
Our nervous systems influence one another. This is called co-regulation.
As you learn to recognize what's happening in your own body and develop more steadiness within yourself, your child may begin responding to that steadiness, too.
Several Moms in our current group are already noticing changes in how they're handling difficult episodes and how their children are responding.
Of course, your child's illness isn't something you can control through your own regulation. But how you feel and how you're able to respond matters, both for you and for your family.
When your child is in fight or flight, your nervous system can pick up on that intensity.

A space where you can come exactly as you are
You'll be with other Moms who understand how complicated this experience can be, without having to explain every detail of what your family is going through.
I know how unpredictable life with PANS/PANDAS can be. I have lived this experience too over the last seven years.
You may have a difficult morning with your child, need to step away during a call, or simply want to listen rather than share.
All of that is welcome.
In our live calls you can leave your camera off, step away when you need to, and participate in whatever way works for you that day. There's no pressure to share or show up in a particular way.
And you'll have my guidance and support as we work through what comes up, both during our live sessions and between them.
Your support continues between our calls
One of the most valuable parts of this experience is that our work continues between our weekly calls.
You'll be part of a private group where you can connect with me and the other Moms throughout the four weeks. You can share what's happening in your life, ask questions as things come up, and receive my guidance as you begin applying what we're learning.
You'll also have the opportunity to connect with women who understand what you're navigating. To hear about their experiences, share what's helping, and support one another. Sometimes just being with other Moms who understand what life with PANS/PANDAS can be like makes such a difference.
You don't have to wait until our next live call to ask a question or reach out for support.
Four weeks of personal guidance, embodied practices, and ongoing support in a small group of Moms who understand what you're going through.

What it's like to work with Maureen:
“I was feeling overwhelmed, tired, anxious, and stressed. I felt off and didn't really know how to manage it. I feel super grateful for investing the time and money to work with Maureen. She helps me be less judgmental of what comes up emotionally and with my desires. It just feels like a safe space to access and speak my truth. Maureen is trustworthy, grounded, intuitive and she does powerful work.”
Frequently Asked Questions
All live calls take place on Tuesdays at 1:30 PM Eastern Time and are recorded, so you can watch them at a time that works for you. You can also send me questions ahead of time, and you'll be able to ask questions and connect with me throughout the four weeks in our private group space.
I understand how unpredictable life with PANS/PANDAS can be. You can join with your camera off, listen without sharing, or step away when you need to. You can also catch up with the recordings and connect with us between sessions. The group is designed with the realities of your life in mind.
Yes. This is a small group, and you'll have opportunities to share what's happening for you and receive my guidance during our live sessions. You'll also have access to me through our private group space between calls, so you can ask questions and receive support as things come up.
No previous experience is necessary. I'll guide you through the practices, and you can participate in whatever way feels comfortable for you.
This group is focused on supporting you as a Mom. We'll work with your nervous system, your energy, and what's happening in your own life so you can feel better supported and more grounded as you navigate your child's illness. It isn't a replacement for your child's medical care.
While I'm a board-certified psychiatrist licensed in Massachusetts, this group is a coaching program and does not constitute medical care, psychiatric treatment, or establish a physician-patient relationship. I do not provide medical diagnoses, prescribe medications, or make medication recommendations as part of this group. It is important to continue working with your own healthcare providers for any medical or psychiatric care.
If you're a Massachusetts resident and are interested in individual holistic psychiatric care, I also see patients privately in my Newburyport practice. This is a separate service from the group, and you're welcome to contact me to learn more.
It's time to make room for you, too.

That's what I want to help you create, and I'd love to have you join us for these four weeks, beginning December 1.
You've spent so much time and energy helping your child. You deserve to have someone paying attention to you, helping you feel better, and supporting you in making changes that matter in your own life.
You really can feel good, even during challenging times.
And while it may not seem to make sense initially, when you invest in your own health and well-being, it can have an impact on everyone around you. As many of my clients have shared, the better they feel, the better things feel at home, too.
It doesn't mean that your child's PANS/PANDAS will suddenly be resolved. But the way you navigate it can change. How you feel as you're moving through difficult moments can change. You can begin to feel more hopeful about the future, and the things that once felt so overwhelming can begin to feel more manageable.
And there can be more room for you again. For the things you enjoy, the relationships that matter to you, and the parts of your life that deserve your attention, too.
