Birth of M.O.R.E Mothers

When I delivered my son in 2018, the expected changes of motherhood quickly became secondary.

A traumatic nerve injury during childbirth left me without feeling in my right leg for an extended period of time. I was unable to walk, bathe myself, or care for my newborn in the ways I had imagined throughout my pregnancy.

As my recovery slowed, a snowball effect followed.

​

No walking meant no work. No work meant no income. No income meant no insurance.
No insurance meant no treatment, while bills continued to pile up.

​

With the support of women who shared advice, resources, and encouragement, I began rebuilding physically and mentally. Yet navigating systems meant to help was often difficult. Accessing resources came with barriers, judgment, and spaces that left me feeling unseen and undeserving.

​

I kept asking myself: there has to be another way.

​

So I created one...

A way for mothers to feel supported, respected, and empowered while navigating the realities of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting.

I needed the Motivation.
I needed the Opportunities.
I needed the Resources.
I needed to be Empowered.

​

That need became the foundation of M.O.R.E Mothers® - a community rooted in care, dignity, and collective healing.

Built from lived experience. Sustained by community.
