As the year closes, we pause to reflect on the ways this community supports one another, and to review our actions for alignment with our mission.

The MM Mission Statement:

"Our mission is to empower women towards a better quality of life through post-modern wellness practices that prioritize mental, physical, and emotional well-being. We believe seasonal living and community care are the foundational pieces of women's wellbeing."


Our Vision Statement:

"We envision a world where women are valued for their unique perspectives and contributions, and where they have access to the resources and support they need to thrive. In this world, women are seen, heard, understood, and well."


The Ripple Effect:

"We work with women, but women don't exist in isolation. Every woman who moves through the MM ecosystem carries that shift home with her. To her partner. Her lineage. Her community. This ripple isn't a side effect. It's the model."


This is what that looked like in 2026.


Community Participation


Over 100 women have had their work published for free to date, with ten brand new authors sharing their stories for the first time in 2026. As of year end 2026, over 500 copies of MM Publication have been shared with the world.


Over 310 tickets to camp have been distributed over the past 9 years, with many women returning year after year. We are closing out 2026 with 47 women already on the roster for 2027, the tenth annual camp.


We run on a sponsorship model from the inside out. The women who have created camp are the ones who sponsor it by sharing about it with their communities, adding in their magic, and donating their time. On top of that, four angel tickets to camp were given this year, making the experience accessible for women who otherwise could not attend.


A special thank you to the sponsors and supporters of Summer Camp 2026:

  • Tia Esther Creative

  • Chef Alicia Co.

  • Good Karma Community

  • 5Two Press

  • Wild Raven's Nest

  • Home Yoga Temecula

  • The Spirit of Ray

  • The Hummble Hearts

  • Inland Cove

  • Opal Beauty Bar

  • JE Seasons Alchemy

  • Indigo Intuitive

  • Avid Oil Lady

  • EyeSing the Soul

  • Heal with Camille

  • Robin Tapia Real Estate

  • Daybreak Apothecary

  • Ashley Llano Yoga

  • Wings of Change


This year, we also sent the remainders from our Trading Trunk to a local Rotary club with Crystal Young. The club took the clothes to Guatemala on a mission trip focused on rehabilitation and healing for survivors of human trafficking.


To date, 42 women have completed our Leadership Program, including four women who were certified in 2026. This program supports women in stepping into their power, creating impact in their own communities, and carrying forward the values of MM Women's Wellness. A partial certification scholarship was also awarded this year to support a woman beginning the program.


73,449 Gold Stars have been earned through acts of self-investment to date. Every star represents a woman choosing to prioritize her own wellness and receiving recognition for it, and turns straight into MM cash so she can do it again!


Accessibility and Care


Brand new as of November 2025, The Well is a collective care fund that builds slowly and steadily, so that when someone in our community is struggling, whether with sudden grief or life's relentless heaviness, we have resources ready to soften the edges.


To date, $175 has been given into the Well, and $55 of it has gone to three community members who needed it most, leaving a current balance of $120. This year's contributions came from many hands: Rachael Rantz and Haley Littleton, plus $1 given from every ticket sold to an MM Experience taught by me, and from the Magdalene circle in July.


Since its launch in May 2024, an estimated 200 copies of The Wheel of the Woman have been shared with readers. Designed as a simple and accessible tool for all, it is available from anywhere for under $15, bringing seasonal wisdom and tools into their homes.


Community Involvement

Because MM is a nontraditional business, we have the freedom to give in ways that feel aligned rather than ways that fit a predictable mold. This year, that meant showing up for causes close to our community's heart, often through the women who brought them to us.


The Salsa Social

Thanks to Roxanne Johns, who brought this cause to us, we supported the Salsa Social, a dance fundraiser hosted by The Riverside Salsa Collective and Our Sacred Space Riverside, with proceeds supporting a domestic violence outreach program that brings free trauma-informed therapeutic massage, yoga, sound baths, yoga mats, and somatic nervous system regulation into domestic violence shelters in Guatemala and Southern California.


TVHS Unified Sports

We contributed to TVHS Unified Sports, a program that brings students with and without disabilities together through sports, friendship, leadership, and inclusion. The program has grown to approximately 100 students in Unified PE, with even more involved through the Unified Club. Our donation helps cover uniforms and equipment, competition and event expenses, food, transportation, and inclusive activities that give these students more chances to participate, lead, and succeed.


York Animal Resource Group (YARG)

We began a relationship with YARG this year, and I personally donated time and supplies to YARG, which connects donated pet supplies and community resources with animal rescues, shelters, and pet parents in need. We supported their work by designing flyers and donating paper towels.


Wings of Change

We also wanted to give an honorable mention to the noticeable difference that Wings of Change has made, building awareness for pollinators and soil health. I personally built a thriving butterfly garden at home this year, and I know others in the community were inspired to do the same!


Our community thrives because of the women who are in it. Every star earned, story shared, and hand extended keeps this circle of care alive.


Explore the programs that inspire you. Attend Summer Camp, explore the wisdom within MM Publication, step into leadership, earn Gold Stars, or contribute to The Well. Your involvement makes a difference.


Thank you for being part of MM Women’s Wellness and helping women rise together in 2026 and beyond.
