Meet the Moms
Amy and Erica first met in 2021 while working at a healthcare startup, and instantly felt a sisterhood. They are both medical practitioners who have a deep understanding of women’s health. However, the Western healthcare system seemed broken and fell short of supporting their wellness. Both were long-time students and practitioners of ancient traditions, including the fourfold way. This had brought deeper meaning and purpose to their lives. They offer their support to every woman to bring the sacred into their everyday life. They have created ‘Women’s Well’ and ‘Mothering through Menopause’ for this very reason.

The Story of the Well
In 2023, Amy had a vivid dream of women sitting and sharing around a well. She shared the dream with Erica. It was a calling to create more authentic support for women. This dream brought them to a website called The Women’s Well, womenswell.org. Inspired by the women’s movement of the 1970s, a group of women, including Patricia Reis, Anne Yeoman, and Katy Szal, created a group to honor women and what is sacred in women’s lives. They honored the circle as a sacred ritual and supported women’s health in this way. When they saw this website, they felt that the dream had been a calling from these women to continue the work. Amy and Erica began a journey, a treasure hunt, to recollect and live that which is sacred for women.
