A KIND NOTE FROM ME
Mamãe
means “Mother” in Portuguese & Cafuné something like “running your fingers through a loved ones hair”
I chose this name because I truly believe that if mothers would receive more support, the world would be a better place. Being a mom requires us to constantly care for others while trying to heal from our own wounds, making an income and maintaining our own sanity. And that’s a lot.
Mothers need more “cafuné” on a daily basis. This is the place for you to relax, unwind and receive, Mamãe.
And I do not only aim to inspire and guide you - I am doing it WITH you. I truly practice what I preach and everything I tell you, I tell myself as well. Because I am a mother, just like you. And I want to remind you that we are also so much more than mothers: We are women, honey.
Le´ts take care of ourselves

MY STORY
Pregnancy was definitely the beginning of self love for me.
I needed to grow another human growing inside of me to realize that I have to take excellent care for myself first. Soon after the birth of my son, I found myself in the trenches of becoming a divorced, single, working mom in the middle of a pandemic. My biggest goal was to not let those incredibly challenging circumstances ruin the most beautiful time with my little one. And this was the birth of self love for me and I took it seriously.
I began to prioritize my physical, mental and overall health including all facets of self care and I feel like I owe to you Mamães, to teach you what I learned and also to give you a short cut so you can just enjoy motherhood, regardless of your situation.
I am a musician, mom postpartum Doula & midwife student and teach self care to other whole hearted women.
I used my background as a classical violinist, I remembered how to block out all distractions, ground myself & stay calm
When everything around me seemed to fall apart
Simple routines
Through trial and error, I figured out how to establish simple everyday wellness routines while taking care of a baby. I learned how to let go of perfection and clutter without losing my sense of style & esthetics.
I educated myself on the many facets of selfcare and learned that healing is not always pretty. And I forced myself into proactivity when it came to making mom friends and build a circle of family-like friends that happily support me & my child.
Deep Analysis
I figured out how to analyze my specific symptoms of chronic pain issues, how they were connected to constant survival mode and how to solve it. I learned to accept the fact that real friends are rare but precious. I tought myself to respond instead of react to criticism and unsolicited advice.
I started analysing myself & what makes me happy, tracking my menstrual cycle and adjusting my productivity and momming around it. I tought myself to set boundaries especially within my own family.
And most importantly, I tought myself how to ask for any kind of help help and to accept it without shame and guilt.
