Feel Better Mom:
Feel Better Mom is a hybrid (online and in-person) community for mothers and female legal guardians of children with special health care needs—including bereaved mothers. We provide opportunities to connect, advocate, learn, and support one another.
Our goals are to:
-
Empower mothers to share their lived experiences and advocate for systemic change.
-
Promote equitable, patient-centered care for both children and caregivers.
-
Educate mothers on their child’s condition and rights to reduce health literacy gaps and foster inclusion in care teams.
-
Raise awareness of underrecognized physical, mental, and secondary conditions such as medically induced PTSD and anxiety.
-
Build a supportive network so no mother walks this journey alone.
Proudly led by medical moms, our nonprofit ensures every offering reflects the real needs of our community.
Feel Better Mom offers free special events designed to support healing and connection among medical moms. From advocacy trips to Capitol Hill and empowerment photoshoots to group therapy, cooking classes, and pampering days—we do it all.

Feel Better Mom Respite Retreat is our signature event—an exclusive, local weekend getaway for medical moms at any stage: treatment, maintenance, survivorship, or bereavement. These retreats offer time to rest, connect, and recharge—so moms can continue showing up for their families with strength.
“So refreshing for the soul… It’s necessary to escape and reset—guilt-free! Thank you, Feel Better Foundation!”
Retreats are held twice a year in May and October. Applications open in March and August on our Facebook and Support Group pages. Attendees are selected by a dedicated team of nonprofit leaders and volunteers.
