Meet the Founder!

Hi, I’m Dr. Katelyn McCarthy — a Doctor of Physical Therapy and specialized pelvic floor physical therapist, and the founder of Support for Mama. I also am a dog lover, romance novel aficionado, and Diet Coke addict.

I created Support for Mama because I believe moms are truly superheroes — but busier and far more impressive than the ones in the movies.

My most treasured relationships have always been with the women in my life. Through my own family, friends, and my work as a physical therapist, I’ve seen how overwhelming pregnancy and postpartum can be. I’ve also seen how difficult it can be for women to find reliable education, compassionate providers, and quality care when they need it most.

That’s why I created Support for Mama: to help bridge the gap and make quality care and meaningful resources more accessible to pregnant and postpartum women throughout Massachusetts.

My goal is to create a one-stop resource for moms — connecting women with trusted healthcare providers, community resources, education, and support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Whether you’re looking for pelvic floor care, mental health support, postpartum resources, or simply reassurance that you’re not alone, I want Support for Mama to be a place you can turn to.

I’m passionate about women’s health because I believe every woman deserves to feel heard, supported, educated, and cared for during one of the biggest transitions of her life.

Because motherhood is hard enough. You shouldn’t have to navigate it alone.
