The Mom Dance Party®
A mental health intervention disguised as a dance floor.
You're not here to escape motherhood. You're here to come back to yourself.
Joy isn't on the other side of your to-do list. It's available now.
THIS ISN'T A TREND. IT'S A MOVEMENT WE STARTED.
CHOOSE YOUR PATH
The Mom Dance Party®
You don't need more “self-care." You need this.
Somewhere between the third load of laundry and the school pickup line, you stopped feeling like your whole self.. We see you. We are you.
The Mom Dance Party® is a packed dance floor of moms who finally — finally — get to:
- drop the mental load (it'll still be there tomorrow)
- move their bodies like nobody's filming
- feel something real that isn't overstimulation
Mother//Self masterclass
Because the work doesn't stop when the music does.
Motherhood rewires you. Your identity, your relationships, your nervous system — all of it shifts, often without warning, and almost always without a roadmap.
Mother//Self is where we actually talk about that, with nuance, with science, and with zero "just take a bubble bath" energy.
Led by MFT Co-founder and licensed perinatal therapist Elizabeth Wellington, these sessions give you real tools to:
- regulate your nervous system (yes, it's a skill — and yes, you can learn it)
- navigate the identity shifts no one warned you about
- feel grounded in a life that keeps demanding more
The Work
The dance floor isn't the end. For some of you, it's where it begins.
Sometimes a dance party cracks something open. Sometimes you walk out of one of our events sweaty, joyful, and aware — for the first time in a long time — that there's more underneath that you actually want to deal with.
That's where Elizabeth comes in.
The dance floor is the entry point. The group work is where it sticks.
MFT Co-founder Elizabeth leads therapeutic group programs for moms who are ready to go deeper than a night out:
- cohort-based experiences
- clinical depth
- somatic practice (translation: this work doesn't just live in your head — it lives in your body, too)
- real community
Modern motherhood was not built for moms.
You're carrying invisible labor, broken systems, and a mental load that has nowhere to go — and somewhere along the way, you were told to manage it with a green smoothie and a meditation app.
We're not here for that.
MFT exists because:
- moms are carrying too much, and pretending otherwise is killing us
- connection doesn't just "happen" — it has to be built
- joy isn't optional. It's foundational.
This is where you:
- reconnect with your body
- remember who you are underneath the roles
- feel alive again — not later, not when the kids are older. Now.

Just wanted to say thank you so much and how I had the best time last night. I admire what you have built for moms so much ... it's my life passion to help moms through this journey and i've connected so much w art, music, creativity and somatic movement as a part of energy healing for women, and we all just really need more connection and each other!
I had more fun than I've had in 4 years (before my first son was born). I wish I could do this every weekend, and you inspired me to keep going "out" with my mom friends and continue to build community. I'm plugged into a lot of mom groups (but could always use more!) and here in DC if you ever need someone (I'm also from NY, and used to live in Chicago and Seattle). Thanks again!
Wow- I had the experience of attending my first MFT dance party last week. I was truly blown away. As a mama of 2 and therapist to mamas, I know first hand how important it is to connect to ourselves in this stage of life. Dancing and music is such a tool for me, and it felt so empowering to witness and experience that connection with 500 other mamas. I can't wait for next time! Thank you for creating this community!
It’s hard to find the words for how much I appreciate the community and fun of MFT. The events are so thoughtfully planned, and Sarah and Elizabeth bring such a positive and supportive energy to everything they do. 10/10 recommend MFT to every mom I know!
