Evidence-based, always
Everything on this site is reviewed by someone qualified to review it, and we say plainly when something is educational rather than medical advice.
About us
We’re here to support you, every step of the way
The MotherWell Foundation was created to provide evidence-based support for moms through the whole transition into motherhood — movement, nutrition and mind.
What we believe
Built by moms, for moms
When moms are supported in body and mind, families are better for it. That's the whole idea.
Local, not theoretical
Real studios and real offices in Charleston, Columbia and Greenville — support you can actually get to on a Tuesday morning.
Whole-body, whole-person
Movement, nutrition and mental health are the same conversation. When moms thrive, families thrive.
No barrier to entry
Asking a question here is free, and it stays between you, us and the person answering it.
The people
Who's behind this
A small team, plus the studios and dietitian offices we work alongside.
Our founder
Founder & director
The MotherWell Foundation started the way most of these things do — from going through it, noticing how little support there was on the other side of delivery, and deciding that wasn't acceptable.
What began as a list of studios worth trusting has grown into a network across Charleston, Columbia and Greenville, built around one question: what would have actually helped?
Our nutrition lead
Medical student, School of Medicine — Columbia
Our nutrition and medical content is led by a medical student at the School of Medicine in Columbia, working alongside our partner dietitian offices.
She reviews the guides, answers questions submitted through the Nutrition page, and helps run the monthly Zoom sessions.
Partnerships
Studios & dietitian offices
We work with local movement studios and dietitian offices rather than building everything ourselves — the expertise is already in these communities.
Every partner is chosen for one reason: they know how to work with a body that has just given birth.
