Women Making History: The Leaders of MM

Writer: Kristen RudKristen Rud

For the last six years, we’ve been building up over 20+ leaders—women who are creating profound ripples in their communities, reshaping wellness, and redefining what it means to lead well—both as impactful leaders and as well women.


In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating these powerhouse women within the MM leadership community who are not just making history—they’re writing it now. These women are healers, visionaries, and change-makers, weaving their wisdom into the fabric of the world around them.


We’re shining a spotlight on women with stories just like you— focusing on how they’ve stepped into leadership, the movements they’re creating, and the ways they are reclaiming wellness for themselves and their communities.
