Athletic dreams + Motherhood +

Welcome to MOMentum

Founded by Canadian Olympians and Paralympians, MOMentum is here to ensure that no elite athlete ever has to choose between their athletic career and their dreams of motherhood.

We provide specialized support for Canadian women in sport — from family planning and fertility options to navigating pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the demands of elite performance. At MOMentum, we believe every athlete deserves full reproductive agency, enabling them to make informed choices about their body while pursuing their athletic goals.

Through financial assistance, advocacy, and a community of like-minded athletes, we’re removing the barriers that limit women in sport. Our mission is to empower Canadian elite athletes to thrive in both sport and family life.

How we create change

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Whether you're navigating sport and motherhood, or want to help others do the same — you're not alone.
