about

Supporting women from all walks of life.

The Modern Domestic Woman (MDW) is a safe space for the modern woman in need of mental health, wellness, and professional referrals

From legal help and social services like temporary housing and food to positive female communities, mental health, and well-being organizations, MDW is on a mission to help all women move forward toward a peaceful way of living.

MDW focuses on 3 pillars of living:

MENTAL HEALTH - MDW is a support community of women rooted in making mental health a priority instead of an afterthought Because nobody can pour from an empty cup

LIFESTYLE - MDW loves creating safe spaces; at home and in the body you call home We encourage a healthy lifestyle that meets you where you're at Not where someone else wants you to be. We also love pretty things at MDW and celebrate style and the artistry of creatives.

ADVOCACY - At MDW, we go out into our communities and support women in crisis. We actively partner with organizations that suppo the rights, recovery, and well-being of women

Beyond support referrals, MDW hosts free support groups and continuing education programs in a variety of communities.
