With the help of caring people, corporations and family foundations, we’ve been supporting the low-income moms in our community!
The Maternal Wellness Project, founded by Jaclyn Long of Mind Body Moms, is now being run by Organizacion Edificando Vidas, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.
Check out our FREE INTEGRATIVE WELLNESS GROUPS for low-income moms (Sponsored by our donors )
Our groups empower moms with tools that promote mental/emotional health through our mindfulness-based stress reduction program, physical health through our exercise and nutrition program and relational health through our parent education program. We offer these modules in 8 to 10 week sessions, so moms can be immersed in learning and the cultivation of skills in community together.
Any donation amount is warmly encouraged, even if it is not in $45 increments.
We need your help to make sure the low-income moms in our community can receive our supportive services!

“There is no single effort more radical in its potential for saving the world than a transformation of the way we raise our children.”
–Marianne Williamson
We believe that one of the best ways to help transform the way we raise our children is to make sure that mothers are getting the support they need. To this end, we have established partnerships with local organizations to expand our outreach. Our partnerships include:

VOLUNTEER READING / BABYSITTING
We are currently seeking volunteers to support the Spanish-speaking mothers we will be serving on Saturdays in East Palo Alto this summer. We are seeking volunteers to hold babies, connect with toddlers and read to kids, while our team at Mind Body Moms supports the moms with our integrative wellness programs.
The current volunteering time is from 10am-11am on Saturdays, from June 30 – Aug 25, 2018 at the East Palo Alto Library. It helps to arrive around 9:45am, to get situated with a little one. The East Palo Alto Library has a Reading Challenge going on all summer, so you can help support the kids with their summer reading!
Please click on the button below if you are interested in this sweet and super helpful volunteer opportunity, and we will be in touch to set you up with volunteering!
