Honoring Our Founder
Brooke Parker — Founder of Motherly Love
Motherly Love was founded by Brooke Parker, whose inspiration came from her family’s personal experience with postpartum preeclampsia and the lack of attention given to her mother’s care and recovery. That experience gave Brooke a passion for ensuring mothers are not overlooked after delivery and are supported physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Her heart for serving others and caring for mothers helped lay the foundation for what Motherly Love is today. Though Brooke is no longer involved with the organization, we are grateful for the vision she began and the lasting impact it continues to have.
It Takes a Village
Motherly Love is strengthened by the people who believe in our mission and choose to serve alongside us.
