The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so we have heard.
When that journey is motherhood, we fall into a bias and directly visualise to see a calm, composed and in control mother holding a beautiful baby, unaware of the storms and everyday struggles that rage underneath the surface. We are so accustomed to this image, that across the wide spectrum of physical, psychological, financial, medical and emotional needs of the woman, we forget that the birth of a child is also the birth of a mother!
Assuming a mother has fully accepted the joy and innocence of this new life, swirling through obstacles, ready with solutions and answers to the different challenges of motherhood, not even whisking once, to think twice and that leaves behind at the edge of conversations, the concept of Matrescence.
First described by Dana Raphael in the 1970s, and then recently resurrected by Dr Aurelie Athan at Columbia University, Matrescence is the ground-breaking and revolutionary way we now understand what happens to a woman when she becomes a mother? In short it is understanding “the process of being a mother”. The new revolution of understanding, valuing and supporting mothers, liberating them from an outdated view of what they are supposed to be and supporting them with solutions to what they (actually) feel.
At Mumz, we hope to help mothers embrace their motherhood journey with confidence, by hand-holding them and giving them the support – When they need it, they have it!
A community-building social networking app ( Freely available on iOS & Android) for mothers in Asia, that aims to be the go-to Location-based marketplace for Mothers catering to the needs that range across the spectrum.
A platform where mothers can not only swipe and meet other like-minded mothers in the area in an offline online setup, based on kids age, interest and times to meet, but also be a time-saving safe platform where mothers can find easy solutions of their struggles, interact with others through international forums, and have the option to choose location-based solutions at a swipe of a finger.
Supporting mothers through different stages of motherhood, Mumz focus is to be able to analyse pain points and offer solutions to mothers in the region, especially in a post-pandemic era. An eco-system of support for mothers through different stages from pregnancy to early infant years, mothers facing the dilemma of toddler tantrums or being at career crossroads and finding the need to focus on self-worth, finances, relationship .. or the pandemic!
The stories we collected through our platform in the last two years made one thing clear: When Covid-19 hit, across the globe, regardless of the country, the first set of demographic divides was clearly seen within a household. Irrespective of their age or career choice; mothers bear the brunt of it.
A deeper impact across breaking points, yet courageously supporting and cheering other mothers & mom entrepreneurs, sharing resources, this up-tapped resource of mothers focussed on the power of community collaboration over competition. Coming together and sharing their passions through the MUMZ ‘Who is She’ Portal, (https://meetmumz.com/who-is-she/), these powerhouse mothers are thriving together to continuously learn and grow in their respective fields while focussing on making the life of a mother easier, fun-filling, calm and in-control.
Supporting some of these mothers through our Brand Partner Awareness Programs, Mumz is bringing focus to businesses owned by mothers, for mothers.

Looking to join fellow female-owned businesses in our fundraising journey and hoping that through the collective team’s efforts we can, as a tech-enabled platform, “Help mothers find their happy place within a community, so that in this journey of motherhood, no mother has to do it again, ALONE!
As a woman who has the support and backing of a community of mothers, has easy access to online-offline opportunities to meet, find support and answers, has the ability to save time and find skill-based learning/events/activities for themselves and their children, find discounts from their local loved brands, have access to experts, specialists and user-guides, Mumz wants to empower women and mothers to be aware and reach out to find solutions providing them the time-saving support they may need.
