mft is a mental health intervention disguised as a dance floor.
ABOUT MFT
Moms Feelin’ Themselves™ (MFT) is a movement for the modern mom, blending evidence-based wellness with glitter, bass drops, and radical honesty.
Co-founded by a perinatal psychotherapist, MFT creates therapeutic, community-centered experiences designed to release moms from the grind of daily motherhood: the invisible labor, the mental load, the nap schedules, the never-ending laundry. Our signature event, The Mom Dance Party™, is an evidence-based wellness intervention disguised as wild, glitter-filled dance floors. We partner with trusted brands, community leaders, and real moms to create culturally relevant, emotionally resonant, and ridiculously fun experiences that remind women: you’re still in there.
Because maternal mental health isn’t optional—it’s foundational. When moms are well, families, communities, and futures thrive. And yet, it can feel nearly impossible for moms to access healthy, joyful, embodied outlets for the intense emotions that come with motherhood. Modern culture has never been more isolating for mothers. We’re over it. If it takes a village to raise a child, our village better be fun as hell.
We created MFT to give moms more than just permission to take up space—we offer a pathway back to yourself. A chance to reconnect with your body, reclaim your autonomy, and rediscover that long-lost feeling of spontaneity and play. Our events are designed with real mom life in mind: they start early, end early, and leave you full—not drained.
MFT isn’t Mommy Wine Culture. We’re not here to numb—we’re here to feel. We are elevated and cathartic fun. Mature, but playful. Responsible, yet relaxed. Diligent—and still down to dance.
Consider this your noble dance break for the Queen that you are.
ABOUT the founders
We bonded over a shared love of dance & fitness (along with cheese, fashion, and handshakes) over a decade ago. Over this time, we evolved as women and each became mothers, which gave us a direct understanding of the ebbs and flows of friendship that occur alongside immense personal change.
As the demands of life grew, we sought a way to reclaim the fun we experienced together and longed to have consistently. We needed an intentional outlet, a way to connect with friends that is aligned with our passion for betterment, self-care, and vibrant health. We craved this as women and especially as moms, and knew this craving was not unique to us, but rather universal to all moms and everyone that is in community with moms. Hence MFT was born into this world… and it was a lot easier than any of our actual childbirths, high five.
