About
Hi, I’m Marleen Sanchez.
I’m a new mom and a kick-ass entrepreneur who is dedicated to self love and helping other mothers. I basically want to create the mom-scouts. Haha. The Cookie Lab Factory is aimed at being a non-profit artisanal cookie company, crafting tasty baked goods, as well as supporting the mental and physical health of the moms who sell our cookies.
I want to help others suffering from postpartum depression and/or anxiety, or who are just having trouble handling mom duties while staying on top of their professional and home lives. The Cookie Lab Factory will fund three aspects of life many moms struggle with: mental health, fitness, and social life. Cookie sales will provide funding for therapy, fitness camps, and group outings to places like theme parks, zoos and museums for women who join the non-profit.
I am passionate about perinatal mental health because a strong and healthy mom changes generations and society. Currently, families are in crisis. Estimated rates of anxiety (72%) and depression (41%) in new moms are the highest we have ever seen in the US. We simply cannot wait to address this issue. Maternal mental health needs support now. The Cookie Lab Factory will be a non-profit, using catalog sales of high end cookies to fund the mental and physical health of our most vulnerable populations; women suffering from:
Postpartum depression and anxiety
Birth trauma and PTSD
Mood disorders during pregnancy
The emotional toll of Infertility
Suicidality and self harm
Infant and other pregnancy loss
Sexual relationship issues/abuse
Partner transition into parenthood
Surrogacy
LGBTQ families
I, Marleen Sanchez, am dedicated to utilizing The Cookie Lab Factory to help ease the suffering of mothers like me - moms who want to be our best selves, offering our children the best lives possible, so that our communities, cities, states, country, and eventually world, can be the healthiest and happiest they can possibly be. Thank you supporting those responsible for life on earth, one dozen cookies at a time.
