It all started in 2010, I wanted a giant tattoo of an animal on my arm. Once I read the symbolism behind the wolf I scheduled my tattoo appointment the next day. Three wolves are tattooed on my arm and they symbolize: strong connection with your instincts or intuition, strong family ties, loyalty, good communication, education, understanding, and intelligence.

My own mother left me when I was just 8 years old but before that she was not a good mom anyway. Everything the wolf symbolized I aspired to be.

Over the years I learned more about wolves. Like humans, the wolf mother begins preparing for her young long before they arrive. She may choose another female wolf to help assist her with her pups the first few weeks but in time, the entire pack will support and nurture the puppies.

I also read this in an article a few years ago that as the pups are born, the mother chews off the umbilical cord and licks each pup clean. After all of the pups are born, the wolf mother eats the placenta. This demonstration should be a good reminder to humans that their bodies naturally know what to do when giving birth. The wolf mother is extremely intuitive when it comes to raising her pups. She knows their needs and follows her instincts to provide. The wolf mother is also protective of her young, keeping them in the den until the pups are capable to survive outside of the den. The mother is also extremely unselfish shown by her willingness to remain in the den herself to provide for her young.

When I started dreaming of my business in late 2016 the name Mother Wolf jumped out at me right away. 𝐈𝐭 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞- 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐟 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. We can all learn a little something from wolves!
