Today we’d like to introduce you to Kelley Warner and Amy Meehan.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Kelley and Amy. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
We met five years ago when Kelley moved into the house just next door. We quickly found out we had an eerie amount of things in common. Not only were we both physical therapists, but we also shared similar values, hopes, and dreams. A friendship quickly blossomed and over the next few years, this friendship became a source of strength and support through some of life’s most significant milestones.
One night, over a glass of wine and our eyes glued to our baby monitors, we began to discuss the difficulties of balancing mom-life, work, traveling husbands, and raising toddlers. The conversation got deeper and we began to confess our post-partum struggles and how they had initially affected our marriage, friendships, and self-worth. We both expressed our passion for wanting to educate other women that these common post-partum issues are actually treatable and women should not accept them as normal. However, we knew how hard it was to find the time to seek self-care. This was the essential element that inspired us to develop Modern Mommy Physical Therapy.
Has it been a smooth road?
Although exciting and rewarding, we’ve definitely had our struggles along the way. Starting a new business is overwhelming. Many don’t realize the amount of time and energy that goes into starting a successful business. It’s challenging to navigate all of the expectations placed on us as an entrepreneur, mother, wife, and friend, to name just a few. Not to mention, we still struggle to find time to practice what we preach, which is the importance of self-care. We truly believe a mom cannot be the glue that holds her family together without finding time to care for herself.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
Modern Mommy is a physical therapy and wellness practice that focuses on women in their prenatal and postpartum stages. We specialize in all things mama! This includes those pregnancy aches and pains, pelvic floor issues and everything that comes along with postpartum recovery. Our goal is to get mama back to feeling her best. We offer individualized treatment plans and safe/effective exercise programming during pregnancy and postpartum. The unique thing about us is we treat women in the comfort of their own home! We feel it is important to make this kind of care easy and accessible for women, in order to help make their self-care a priority. We are most proud about empowering women to not accept common as normal and the opportunity to positively impact women’s lives.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
Yes! Atlanta seems to be open to new and forward-thinking businesses. Although postpartum physical therapy is customary in many European countries, it is not in the United States. We are passionate about helping make a shift in our standard of care and believe Atlanta is a great city to start!
