The Wellstead Co.
I’m Niki Wolfe — wife, mom of two littles, and the woman behind The Wellstead.
I didn’t create this space because I had everything figured out. I created it because I had to learn how to stay steady when my body and mind felt anything but.
Long before motherhood, I was deeply invested in my health. My life had been shaped by medical complexity, physical
pain, and seasons where my body didn’t cooperate the way I wanted it to. I learned early how to ask questions, advocate for myself, and live intentionally — even when things weren’t simple.​
Motherhood didn’t erase that part of me.
It added pressure.
​
Pregnancy and postpartum brought a kind of overwhelm I wasn’t prepared for. Not just exhaustion or stress, but intrusive thoughts so consuming that fear began to narrow my world. I couldn’t think months ahead — not because I wasn’t organized, but because I genuinely didn’t know if I would be here that long.
​
What helped wasn’t more information or pretending everything was fine. It was learning how to respond when fear entered the room — especially when my mind ran ahead of truth. Learning how to interrupt spirals instead of feeding them. How to build structure when freedom started to feel overwhelming. How to take responsibility for my health — mentally, physically, spiritually — one grounded step at a time.
I was later diagnosed with OCD, which gave language to patterns I had already learned how to navigate. The label didn’t define me, but understanding those patterns helped me move forward with clarity instead of shame. Many women experience the same anxious intensity without ever calling it that — racing thoughts, urgency, the feeling that everything needs to be decided right now.
​
That’s who I think about when I share here.

​The Wellstead exists to offer honest guidance, informed preparation, and encouragement that activates strength rather than numbs discomfort — especially for women whose minds tend to run ahead of them when fear shows up.
I talk about things like natural birth in hospital settings, informed decision-making, health, movement, and daily discipline — but underneath all of it is one through-line: agency. The ability to think clearly when decisions come fast. To respond instead of react. To stay grounded when the moment feels loud.
I’m not here because I’ve mastered life. I’m here because I’ve learned how to get out of the spiral — and how to stay steady when it tries to pull me back in.
This space isn’t about becoming someone else.
It’s about becoming grounded enough to be who you already are.
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”— Maya Angelou
Thriving isn’t accidental.
It’s built — one honest, steady step at a time.
