Meditation for Beginners

I‘ve had difficulties with meditation in the past but this app was super approachable and I was able to relax really easily while using it. Definitely an awesome entry point for anyone wanting to feel more calm during such a crazy time.

Good App

The app is beautiful, visually and has lots of different sessions you can choose from for hypnotherapy. It is very relaxing to listen to, but I’m not easily put into a hypnotic state, so as far as that goes it doesn’t really work for me. I do like that you can search for a session that fits your needs, but it’s not something that I can see myself paying for when there are so many ways to listen to similar things for cheaper or free. So while it is a beautiful app and the sessions are nice, I can’t say that I would use it.

Great App for moms

This app is excellent for moms. I feel like I needed a bit more out of it because my stress isn’t just mom related or kid related. I feel that this would teach more audiences if it were inclusive of parents facing many stressors. I also wish the meditations were longer. I feel like sometimes I need to unwind longer than just a few minutes. If I was a new mom, I would love this app because it doesn’t take a lot of time and the benefits are wonderful. Peaceful moments and less chaos by just putting in my headphones. Excellent app.

Well made for those who enjoy hypnotherapy

This app is well made, it is aesthetically pleasing and the goal setting is nice. My main problem is that it seems to be exclusively hypnotherapy, which from the app description should have only been one aspect of the program.

Also, the seasons are relatively long (they have “emergency sessions” that are 7-minutes). As a parent of young children, in a mental “emergency” I would absolutely not have that much time. I can’t see myself being able to use this app with any regularity unfortunately both because of the length of the sessions, and the fact that hypnotherapy just isn’t really something I am into. BUT! If that’s something that works for you, this app might be a good fit!

Response from developer

Hi soundtrak7, thank you for taking the time to review MamaZen! Our sessions are created by a mindfulness meditation expert and clinical hypnotherapist. All the Mindpower Sessions do include relaxing guided meditation as well as hypnotherapy to help create lasting change in the subconscious mind. That's truly what sets us apart. Regular meditation is great, but doesn't have the long lasting effects that hypnotherapy does. And just to clarify, we have sessions as short at a 2 Min Emergency in our Day to Day section under MamaLife. Thank you again for your kind review and have a great day, mama!

I am enjoying this app

I have done yoga and tried meditation before but it’s all been very hokey or just didn’t work. I have 6 kids ages 19-6 and am getting my masters, teaching full time and homeschooling my younger 4. I am stressed beyond belief! I have been doing mamazen before bed and it has allowed me to sleep easier and relax all of the tension in my body. I highly recommend you try this app and take the 10 minutes for yourself before bed! It’s worth it, you’re worth it!

MamaZen App

MamaZen is an app that mothers can use to meditate throughout the day as well as get some great useful tips. There are so many subject areas to choose from but all of them have to with improving yourself such as not eating late at night to controlling your temper to even just being more organized. The app is very easy to navigate and the useful tips and meditation videos really do not take up hardly anytime at all. Most meditation videos are anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes long. So if your interested in an app that will help you just take a nice pause each day to meditate and work on yourself this is definitely the app for you.

Hi Adalyn Ashley, thank you for taking the time to leave this review and sharing your experience!

Mind Power

You have to be in the right space/be a person that believes in mind over matter. I felt like some of these sessions were trying to convince me that I was calm. I specifically utilized the emergency sessions. I have a very active son and I would try to take a minute to listen to these when I was in a rough spot. Big deep breathing was helpful. Overall, I do not think I gained any new form of relaxation, zen, or control over myself by using this app.

Good app but not for me

I am a firm believer that there is an app for everything and that remains true for motherhood. This app was great in let me me target the areas that I wanted to work on or improve on as a mother. I have only used it a handful of times but it has a lot of tips/ tricks to help ease into a new job such as becoming a mom. I will say that while it has been helpful, I barely have time to eat so unfortunately, I will have to try this another time. To all of those who have the time and need a little extra encouragement, I say Zen on!

Surprisingly effective

I’m loving this app! I was very skeptical of the hypnosis during the first few sessions but once I stopped focusing on if it was working or not it was amazing! I only wish this had been available during my early postpartum period. I find myself far less anxious and far more focused on play time with my daughter. I love that if you select asleep after session, it auto turns off the app! Even if you don’t feel the hypnosis is working for you the 20 minutes you set aside to listen to a session is great you time.

Thank you, T Belanger for taking the time to review us and so glad MamaZen is helping you feel more connected during playtime with your daughter! We love that!

A must have for all mommas out there!!! ❤️❤️

I have two small children and this app has really helped me to be more “calm” and “relaxed”. You can pick how long you want your sessions to be, which is really helpful when your a parent and always on the go with no idea how your time is going to be that day. I have already recommended this app to all my mommy friends and on Facebook and my other social media’s. I feel like it would really help a new mom or single momma. I’m a new SAHM and can honestly say this app has gave me some helpful ideas and meditations I can do in 5 mins or less!! Every momma should have this on their phone!! ❤️❤️
