The MotherX Community

The initiative is rooted in one belief:
When humans are supported in their well-being, their entire world thrives.

My journey toward creating MotherX began long before the foundation itself existed. I am a Generation X mother—one shaped by self-reliance, adaptability, and an unwavering work ethic. Those who share this generation understand what that means. Excellence was not aspirational; it was expected. Balancing responsibility with independence became second nature, and dedication was not a choice, but a standard.

As a mother of two beautiful boys, I have lived the reality of navigating both motherhood and a demanding professional life simultaneously. Moving between worlds—home and work, care and leadership—required consistency, presence, and resilience. Like many women, I learned to meet expectations quietly, often placing my own well-being last in service of others. My boys always came first and I took great pride in that commitment.

For more than 25 years, I worked as a celebrity and commercial makeup artist across film, television, music, and advertising—collaborating with actors, musicians, athletes, and performers at the highest levels of their industries. While technical excellence was essential, what ultimately distinguished my work was the care and attentiveness I brought to every interaction.

My chair became a space of calm within high-pressure environments—a place where individuals could pause, exhale, and feel genuinely seen. Listening deeply, offering steady support, and honoring the person beyond the performance became the foundation of my professional practice.

Across both motherhood and career, one truth became unmistakably clear: when women, mothers and their families are supported in their well-being, the entire ecosystem thrives. Yet women—mothers, single mothers, professionals, caregivers, and leaders—are too often the last to receive that same care or know how to give back to themselves.

MotherX was born from this understanding.

The MotherX Foundation is dedicated to advancing whole-person wellness for women, mothers and families through education, community, advocacy, and restorative experiences—creating environments where they are not only sustained, but genuinely whole and given the tools to drive themselves, their families and their children towards ultimate independence, success and wellness!
