Truly life changing!

I never write reviews for apps, but MamaZen deserves a 5-star rating and a glowing review! This app is truly life changing for me! I am a widowed mom of two little kids, so I live in constant stress and anxiety. No amount of therapy, breath work, meditation has come close to giving me the results this app gives me. I am calmer, more present, more attuned to myself and my children and just feel less anxious and overwhelmed overall. This app truly has a session for every life circumstance and every feeling. So often I would download a meditation app only to get bored with it or simply not be able to find a session that speaks to me. With MamaZen, no matter what my challenges are, the perfect session is always available. They even have sessions just for kids and those have become part of our nightly routine! My kids absolutely love listening to the meditations to help them fall asleep. I am forever grateful to the creators and developers of this app for the work they put in to bring this app to life! Keep doing the amazing work of helping moms thrive! ❤️

I am grateful 🙏🙏🙏

I am Sahm of 6 yrs old and under including twins and 4 months old infant. I was skeptical before, because didn’t know anything about meditation ( never tried before) but I had the habit of laying my head down and closing my eyes, so I was like why not try this and also am neurodivergent person, I have anxiety too, am healing from perfectionism, I get overwhelmed with noises and lack of fresh air because it is extremely cold outside, so when I put my earphones and lay my head down and listen to the voice of the person, at end I feel refreshed, like I took a nap, but how about the the voice that feels like a free therapy( to me at least), and I am someone who loves kids but happen to be wired differently, I love the a idea of feeling empathy for the kids and that kids aren’t trying to give you hard times, they already having one. I love the person voice, it is an amazing choice because it is gentle and calming. Because of this App I feel I have people on my side who understand how motherhood isn’t easy. Am on tight budget am so glad I can afford it, I love the onetime payment and using it a whole year.
Thank you the people who developed this app, you guys are making the journey of motherhood enjoyable for me.

Life changing

I have been struggling mentally after having my second baby that is now 8 months… Iv been having anger spells, angry at my kids, my fiancé… just not happy and just two days of trying this app I feel like a new person blossoming out!

My daughter has picked up on my anger and it’s starting to come out in her and I knew I had to change! She has been listening to the children sessions and she just lays there and smiles with her eyes closed…. Healing starts from the inside… thank you for this app!

One question would be if there is a dad zen app for the dads?

Wanted to love it

I kept seeing this app so I decided to download it. It sounded super helpful. I have 2 young boys. Some days can be rough of course! I downloaded the app and realized it was really expensive. $70 for the yearly membership or you can choose the monthly membership. I knew I couldn’t afford that. Then I saw they donate to a mom in need for every membership purchased. It’s their “Scholarship program” so I did email them about finding out more information. They said their wait list is 7 months. So I was like ok well that doesn’t really help me currently. So I did try the 7 day trial. I tried a few of the meditation stories for a few nights. It was a guy doing them and I just didn’t care for any of it. He would count down a lot, some of it was just weird. It honestly made me more anxious and mad than I was lol. But really I wanted to love it. I didn’t find this app helpful.

Hello Gina, thank you for your review. Our scholarship program does have a waiting period which is about 6-7 weeks due to the high demand in applications. We are happy we can give free annuals to moms in need and have already provided thousands of them. Our program is not exactly meditation, it is more mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy and hypnotherapy. The countdown is a very important process that helps achieving the mindset that is required to create the necessary mindset shifts in order to overcome anxiety, break generational cycles, etc. We understand this might not be for everyone, but happy you tried it.

Amazing app

This app is a miracle!!!! It has changed so much in me! I have never been this happy, confident and motivated before in my life! I work out an hour a day now, no longer feel mom guilt for prioritizing myself! My relationship with my children is stronger and I am much calmer with them! Of course I still make mistakes but now I slow down and learn from them and forgive myself with ease! Honestly has improved all aspects of my life even my marriage! I use my phone less, social media less. I play with my kids and enjoy it now (most of the time haha) honestly I could keep going forever about how amazing and helpful and VALUABLE this app is. I do with there was a free version somehow because it makes me sad to think about some moms who could benefit sooo much but can’t afford it, but if this is even the slightest in the budget for you then DO IT! And don’t be weirded out about the hypnosis part (I was at first) it’s not a weird mind trick thing, it’s just extreme relaxation. I rolled my eyes at first because I thought there was no way it would work, but it did, obviously.

Parenthood Essential

I have two kids. I was introduced to MamaZen with my second baby and wish I’d known about it sooner. I was skeptical before I tried it but I can confidently say that after my first session I was blown away. I’m seeing some people are uncomfortable with the male voice but that didn’t phase me once I realized he was the doctor. The sessions are like a mind rinse, its effects are immediate. It might sound cheesy but it’s true. It’s not a cure-all or replaces therapy but something that can help a mom destress in the comfort of her own space, whenever needed, it’s a blessing. Parenting is tough, and nowadays everyone is realizing the effects of getting yelled at as a kid (🤣), but if you’re an anxious parent or easy-to-anger parent, I’d suggest this, hands down. It’s a tool to help you break those patterns as well as a tool to help bring calm in those moments of overwhelm. I’ve recommended this app to any mom I know (even my own mom).

It's our hope that many more parents, like you, discover this tool to bring calm and break patterns. Thanks for recommending us to other moms!

THIS is the secret to being a calm mom ❤️

I cannot say enough positive things about this app. I have been using it for 2 years now and it has helped me learn how to be gentle and calm in my parenting style.

My parents were loving, but practiced very “reactive parenting” when we were young. I knew I didn’t want to yell/ discipline like they did. MamaZen has taught me how to handle everyday life situations from an empathetic view. I can honestly say I have such a loving and special bond with my little guys because of this.

My fave session is for the never-ending bedtime routine. My older son has a hard time falling asleep and this Mindpower session has helped me stay calm during the nightly struggle.

Saves my mental health!

I have 4 kids and have always struggled with my mental health. In the hard moments of motherhood, I find it difficult to keep my cool. The holidays are an especially hard time for me. I downloaded this app and did the trial shortly before the holidays. It’s has truly saved my mental health. When I start feeling like I’m losing it, I step away and do a mindful moment. These moments have also taught me skills and tools I can use in those moments. The skills are easy to remember and use! The mindful moments help me reset and be a better mommy. I love this app, it is worth every penny!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with MamaZen! As moms our mental health is so important for everyone around us. We are so happy to hear how much MamaZen has been helping you and giving you the tools you need when it gets hard and challenging. ❤️

Amazing app

This app has been so helpful in calming me during moments of chaos. It also has helped tremendously when I am having difficulty sleeping. I struggle following guided mediation apps and feeling like I cannot truly relax and be present in the moment but this app allows me to let go of all of my worries and focus on the present. If you are apprehensive, please give it a try- it has worked wonders.

Great app

I have been using this app for quite a while, more than a year, and it’s really been helpful. They are always adding new content and that content is thoughtful and responsive, someone is clearly thinking about what parents need today in the current zeitgeist. Much appreciated. They just added some ones for kids and I’m excited to try them with my kiddos.
