Hello, and welcome to my blog! My name is Mafalda, and I’m a solo mom of two incredible children. I’ve been navigating the world of solo parenting for the past five years, while also Homeschooling and along the way, I’ve had the privilege of combining my personal experiences with my professional knowledge to support other parents—especially moms—through the unique challenges of pregnancy and early childhood.
A New Chapter: Leaving Birth Doula Work Behind
Before my second child was born, I was a passionate birth doula, helping expectant parents navigate the beautiful yet sometimes daunting journey of pregnancy and birth. I found great joy in being a support system during such an intimate time. However, when my second child arrived, life shifted dramatically, left my marriage and I made the decision to step away from my birth doula career to focus on solo parenting.
It wasn’t easy, but I quickly learned that my passion for supporting parents didn’t have to fade. Instead, it could evolve into something new, something that aligned with my experiences as a solo mom.
The Birth of a New Passion: Teething Solutions for My Son
Like many parents, I was seeking effective ways to support my son during his teething phase. He started teething much later than most, and I realized that many parents around me were struggling with similar concerns. I began researching and testing different teething options and sharing what worked for us with my friends and fellow moms.
What started as a simple desire to help my son turned into a community of moms supporting each other. I realized I had a lot to offer, and I started focusing on curating the best teething solutions for babies—helping other moms find effective, natural products that they could trust.
As my daughter grew (she is now 7) she wanted to join the bussiness, and she got so in love with making teethers that she took over Kaleila Baby with my supervision.
Returning to My Roots: Teaching Prenatal Classes and Thai Massage
Now, five years later, I’m back doing what I love—teaching prenatal classes and offering Thai massage to pregnant women. The knowledge I’ve gained over the years, both from my professional experience as a birth doula and as a solo mom of 2 under 2 at the time, has enriched my approach to supporting expectant mothers. I focus on teaching not only the technical aspects of birth but also self-care practices and holistic wellness—something that’s often overlooked.
Through my consultations, I offer personalized advice to mothers-to-be, guiding them through the emotional and physical changes of pregnancy. I also provide soothing Thai massage for expectant mothers, helping them relieve tension, ease discomfort, and embrace a more balanced approach to pregnancy.
Bringing It All Together: Empowering Parents
Whether it’s supporting expectant moms through prenatal education, offering relief through Thai massage, providing natural teething solutions for babies, or helping them navigate Homeschooling as a busy mom, my mission is to empower parents on their journey. Through my website, I hope to create a space where parents can find reliable information, products they can trust, and a sense of community.
In this blog, I’ll be sharing more about my experiences, offering practical advice, and providing insights into the tools and products that can make your journey as a parent easier, more fulfilling, and more enjoyable.
Thank you for joining me on this exciting new chapter! I’m thrilled to be part of your parenting journey and look forward to supporting you every step of the way.
With warmth and support,
Mafalda O.
