We're a sister-in-law duo with 20+ years of friendship and 3 (soon to be 4!) mini-me’s. 

Nu Mami was born 2 years ago during Shenaid’s challenging postpartum period. Our intimate conversations sparked a shared passion: empowering mums and rewriting the narrative around motherhood. Let us tell you a little more about our story... 

Our why & the story behind it 

The journey into motherhood is so heavily focused on birth and the baby. So much planning and preparation goes into setting up for the arrival. But then all of a sudden, you have a baby and you're thrown into the unknown.

For me personally (Shenaid), I went into motherhood expecting to be a natural. But it was a rude shock when reality sunk in. I wasn't prepared for the intensity, the steep learning curve, the challenges - including a real disconnection from my identity and who I've always seen myself as.

As I confided in Sarah during my postpartum, I realized that while my experience isn't everyone's, what is universal is we all face hurdles.  

Bringing a baby into this world is a mammoth, life-changing experience.

It's a complex web of polarizing emotions. 

You can be exploding with love yet hanging on by a thread simultaneously. And it made us wonder - how could we make this transition even a little smoother and more enjoyable? 

How could we help new moms find their footing and reconnect with who they are? 

Nothing will change what a big transformation this is. There will always be growth and discomfort - that's the beauty of life. But things like ugly bras, disposable breast pads, and adult nappies surely don't need to be the norm.  

That's where Nu Mami was born - to tackle the big challenges head-on through: 

  • Building community so you never feel alone 
  • Providing expert support for every hurdle 
  • And designing innovative essentials so you can look and feel your best 

Our mission is to create a space for moms to come connect, feel seen and heard, and leave feeling inspired to embrace this journey - empowered to tackle whatever comes their way. 

So let's rewrite the script on our approach to motherhood. Nu Mami is leading the way in prioritizing the woman's holistic experience during this profound phase of life.
