We do it all for our kids. Every day, we navigate schedules, advocacy, the wins, and the challenges with endless grace. But you can’t pour from an empty cup. It’s time to claim some time back just for you.

Join us at StretchLab Wellesley for an exclusive morning designed to help you unwind your body, release physical tension, and connect with a community of incredible moms who truly "get it." Enjoy a personalized assisted stretch session with a certified Flexologist, step away from your daily routine, and enjoy supportive conversation with fellow caregivers.

You take care of everyone else. Let us take care of you for a little while. Spaces will fill up fast—grab your spot today!

The Mothers of Children with Special Needs ("MOCWSN") is a WMF subgroup for moms who identify as having a child with special needs, in whatever way that means to them. Some moms in this group have kids who are receiving early intervention, some are wondering whether their child would benefit from an evaluation, some have kids with an ADHD or autism diagnosis, some have a child with a genetic diagnosis, and everything in between. All are welcome! We provide support to each other through organized events, our WhatsApp group chats, and informal sharing of personal experiences and resources.
