MamaZen, the stress relief app for moms, is a great way to create a mental + physical space you’re proud of in the new year. Founded by certified hypnotherapist, MA, CHT, and expert in Mindfulness Meditation, Jake Rubin, MamaZen uses a combination of meditation, hypnotherapy and mindfulness to help ease the stress, fatigue, burnout and anxiety of parenting. Jake is a respected Board Certified Hypnotherapist, and has over 25 years of study and research in the areas of psychology, parenting and mindfulness. The app houses over 150 brief audio sessions (5-15 min) covering common topics among moms – stress, anxiety, frustration, anger, guilt, health and diet, stage of childhood, and more.
Evaluation comments:
“It’s relatable, and even says “We get it. Motherhood is really freakin’ hard! We’re here to help.” I love it already.”
“The narrator’s voice is calming, and the music is relaxing.”
“This app is amazing. I didn’t realized I needed it until I tried it.”
“It’s very useful and I love that it’s geared specifically for parents.”
“When you get to your personalized dashboard after selecting what areas you want to help with, all your customized options are nicely organized in easy-to-navigate sections.”
“There are convenient options for quick meditations (“emergency sessions”), or longer ones that focus on specific needs like “Patience with Tantrums” or “Motherhood Burnout: Toddler Years.”
“It doesn’t take that much time out of your day to do one of these videos and reset.”
“Every session gives you the option to wake at the end or sleep at the end, so the narrator customizes the session to either end in a calm or energized state. I think that’s a really great touch because you never know what time of day you can sneak in a listen.”
“You walk away feeling like you had a mom pep talk, but it was whispered to you rather than blasted through a speakerphone.”
“This is useful for moms who need an easy way to ensure they get a little self-care.”
“I like that the sessions are short and to the point.”
