The Mom Works Story
We believe that prioritizing mental wellness shouldn't only feel accessible after everything else is done. It should feel part of your routine- grounded and rooted in the movement of your daily life.
Mom Works was born from our lived experience- the overwhelm, the mental load, the multi-role responsibility. The toggling between career demands, caregiving, and the voice inside asking, "What about me?". And our recognition that the right support makes all the difference.
We (Co-Founders, Erica & Maxine), are licensed mental health professionals, mothers, and workplace wellness experts who see a deep need:
Support that actually understands working moms. Not just planning and logistics- but regulating the nervous system, connecting to identity, managing emotional exhaustion, and the desire for contentment.
That’s why we created this space- to offer practical, compassionate, evidence-informed care, rooted in real mental health practices, for the modern working mom. Not to make you more efficient. Not to make you more productive. But to help you feel more like herself again.
A space created by working moms, for working moms.
Mom Works Mission
We exist to help working moms regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with themselves, and reclaim their sense of wholeness- without guilt, shame, perfectionism, or burnout.
We offer tools, practices, and community that are:
Clear and guided, minimizing overwhelm
Rooted in the mind-body connection
Designed for real women, with real lives
You deserve support that sees all of you: the woman, the provider, the mother, the human.
Values
What We Stand For
Our work is guided by a deep belief in the power of care- care for the self and care for the systems working moms live within.
Here’s what shapes everything we do:
Compassion Over Perfection
We believe you deserve support and you do not need to do everything perfectly to receive it. We meet you with empathy, not expectations.
Mental Health Is Foundational
Emotional wellbeing is not a luxury- it’s essential. We’re here to help you tend to your mental health the same way you would any other vital part of your life: with intention, care, and guided support.
Rooted in Realness
This is a shame-free space. We don’t believe in “shoulds,” hustle culture, or toxic positivity. We believe in showing up as we are, telling the truth, and making room for what we need.
Wholeness Is the Goal
We honor the whole you. Your mind, body, emotions, values, and dreams. Our work supports your full humanity, not just your productivity.
Support Should Fit Your Life
We disagree with the idea that healing has to wait until things “slow down.” Our resources are designed for working moms who live a full and busy life. We encourage building wellness into your routine.
Equity & Inclusivity
We are committed to creating an inclusive space where all moms feel seen, respected, and supported. If you identify as a working mom, our resources and supports are here for you.

Erica
Co-Founder, MSW, LCSW-C, CEAP, Leadership Specialist
I am a mom of one who has a tendency to lean more Type A, passionate about nurturing a child’s intrinsic worth and self-driven motivation. I believe in raising kids who are confident from the inside out. I also believe workplaces should embrace flexibility and recognize motherhood not as a limitation, but as a powerful asset that builds resilience, empathy, and leadership.
