Motherhood is all encompassing, wonderful, and life altering. But we don't believe that becoming a mom means you should shed all of your former self. There are social norms that push us to believe mothers should fit a certain persona.
We exist to do the opposite. Aluma exists to make time for mothers to explore themselves and make more space for things they have left behind in motherhood. From art and creativity to entrepreneurship:
We are parents, professionals, and creatives who want to help moms reconnect with what drives them.
If you'd like to ask us something or just say 👋 contact us anytime at hello@explorealuma.com . We'd love to hear from you!
Hi, I'm Bonnie! I'm a mom of a three-year-old. After learning I had bipolar disorder and general anxiety disorder, I struggled to navigate each transition while prioritizing my own mental health. Along with doctor-prescribed treatment, journaling helped me organize my thoughts, reduce my anxiety, and take control of my mental health. After experiencing my own transformation, I set out to share the empowering tool of journaling with as many people as possible.
Hi! I'm Nichelle. I'm a mom of two silly and kind boys. I'm also a perinatal psychiatrist who cares for people during pregnancy, postpartum, and during parenting.
I've noticed a lot of common themes I want to share with people through Aluma. We all have the capability to lose ourselves in motherhood, but also to find ourselves again with renewed purpose. I believe everyone deserves to enjoy and thrive in parenthood!
