We recently had the chance to connect with Hannah Dorsher & Kelly Sinning and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Hannah & Kelly, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
As both therapists and moms, we spend so much of our time holding space for others—our clients, our families, and our kids. Something that’s been bringing us so much joy lately is our involvement with The Mom Walk Collective here in Fort Collins. It’s given us a chance to step outside of our therapy offices, put on our sneakers, and connect with other moms who are in the thick of this season of life too.
Through the walks, we’ve met incredible women and discovered so many mom- and family-friendly businesses we might not have known about otherwise. It’s been a fun, healthy way to build new friendships, move our bodies, and remind ourselves that we’re not alone in navigating motherhood. Being part of something that supports moms while also keeping us active and connected has truly been such a gift.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi! We’re Hannah and Kelly—both therapists and moms living here in Northern Colorado. We’re passionate about supporting women, especially moms, in finding balance, connection, and joy in the midst of life’s chaos. That’s part of why we took over hosting The Mom Walk Collective: a community where moms can get out, move their bodies, make new friends, and discover local mom- and family-friendly businesses along the way.
What makes us unique is that we bring both our professional experience as therapists and our personal experience as moms into everything we do. We understand the highs, the lows, and everything in between, and we love creating spaces where moms feel seen, supported, and energized. Right now, we’re focused on building our local community, hosting fun and active walks, and helping moms carve out time for themselves in ways that feel meaningful and joyful.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who taught you the most about work?
The women and moms in our community through The Mom Walk Collective have taught us more about work than we ever expected. Spending time with them, hearing their stories, and learning about their daily lives has given us incredible insight into what it really means to support women—not just in therapy, but in every stage of motherhood and womanhood. Their honesty, resilience, and openness have challenged us to grow as therapists, to listen more deeply, and to create spaces that truly meet women where they are. In many ways, the moms we meet while walking together have become our greatest teachers.
Do you remember a time someone truly listened to you?
Absolutely. One of the most powerful experiences of truly being listened to has been with each other—Kelly and I have been that safe space for one another through the ups and downs of work, motherhood, and life. From grad school in our mid-twenties through the throes of motherhood now, we have figured out different ways to be that source of constant support for each other. That experience of being fully seen and heard has inspired us to create that same kind of space for the moms in our community. Through The Mom Walk Collective, we aim to offer a place where women can feel genuinely supported, listened to, and connected—where their stories and experiences are honored, and they know they’re not alone.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
One of the biggest myths in our field is that motherhood—and by extension, therapy—has to look a certain way. That to raise secure, healthy kids, you have to be perfect, always calm, always present, always ‘on.’ As attachment-based therapists, we know that’s simply not true. Research shows that caregivers only need to get it right about 30% of the time to foster secure attachment. That means it’s okay to be imperfect, to miss the mark, to be human. What matters is the repair—the ability to reconnect, reflect, and show up again.
Through The Mom Walk Collective, we’re committed to helping moms release the pressure of perfection and embrace the beauty of being ‘good enough.’ We want them to know they’re doing a great job, that their presence matters, and that they don’t have to do it all alone. Our walks are a reminder that connection, community, and self-compassion are just as important as any parenting strategy.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What will you regret not doing?
The thing we know we won’t regret is putting our time, energy, and love into The Mom Walk Collective. Supporting moms isn’t just about the moms themselves—it supports their kids, their families, and our entire community. We truly believe in the ripple effect of what we’re creating: stronger, healthier moms lead to stronger, healthier families, which strengthens Northern Colorado as a whole. There’s nothing more meaningful or important we can imagine investing ourselves into than building a space that nurtures, connects, and uplifts women.
