What is your mission/motivation?

"Every mother is the best person to look after her child. She knows best what he/she needs. We are capable and we are powerful. We do the most beautiful job in the world, even if it's also the most complex." Catherine

Testimonials from Motherstories members

"For once, she's taking care of us, and that's worth every penny! We come away from each circle energized, with the feeling that we're not alone. We meet other moms in the same phase of life as us, sharing our doubts, our moods and our moments of happiness. These circles have really been a bubble of oxygen in my life as a mom in the midst of post partum. Thank you Catherine for your kindness and all the energy you put into making this period richer in encounters." Karine

"Le Cercle mamans-bébés helped me put into perspective the difficulties involved in the first weeks/months of life with a newborn. The Circle helped me to structure my weeks (alone at home with baby) and to feel less alone in the face of the enormous upheaval represented by the arrival of a baby in the family. In a caring environment, week after week, I gained in confidence, and thanks to Catherine's weekly training sessions, I began to believe in my ability to be a mother in my own way. What's more, I loved the creative workshops each week: it feels so good to create something nice for ourselves, when our main preoccupation is caring for a baby 24/7. I can't recommend these mother-baby circles enough, they're a 'must' for all young moms ❤️ Run to them!" Anna

Testimonials from Motherstories members

"Sonia brought me a lot of gentleness and kindness throughout my pregnancy and postpartum. She knew how to find the words to accompany me and give me confidence throughout this beautiful adventure. She played a key role in my evolution from woman to Mom and I thank her from the bottom of my heart!" Olivia V.

"I would like to thank Sonia from the bottom of my heart. She was a wonderful person to meet, a soul totally dedicated to listening and to the well-being of the post-partum period, and who helped me through a very difficult time. Thank you for your kindness, generosity and caring. I was lucky enough to be able to share moments of massage, discussion and help in refocusing on oneself that did me a world of good. Thank you for this encounter... " Pauline

What is your mission/motivation?

"Because becoming a parent is often synonymous with upheaval, my parenting support workshops offer parents tools to recharge their batteries, strengthen the bond with baby, and soften their daily routine." Mélanie

Testimonials from Motherstories members

"I had the chance to do a babywearing workshop with Mélanie and I had a great time! She listened carefully, took the time to explain how to install our baby correctly and gave us all the keys to a successful babywearing experience at home and in our daily lives. I really recommend this workshop to young or future parents to familiarize themselves with slings. I look forward to doing another workshop! 🍀 "

"Great workshop for learning sign language with baby! Bravo to Mélanie for developing all this material and making learning so easy through play and rhymes. Baby can also enjoy the signed readings and rhymes. Another great idea is baby yoga for mom and baby. Mélanie puts in a lot of effort and doesn't hesitate to take over with baby if he's crying, to give moms time to take their yoga break. What a great discovery!

What is your mission/motivation?

"The aim of the association is to enable parents to bond with their baby, to create links with other parents, and to receive advice and answers when they need them. Each workshop is a real opportunity to share and exchange ideas in a gentle, caring atmosphere. The heart of our project is to offer moments of discussion between families during "Papotes" activities." Gaëlle PESAVENTO

Testimonials from Motherstories members

"We took a physiological babywearing workshop with Gaëlle, and it was a really great time. Valuable information, precise and structured context, a practical approach, lots of precious advice. I can't wait to continue with other activities! (baby massage in particular). Many thanks!" Frédérique

"I'd recommend Moman d'amour's activities to any parent or future parent. They give you the opportunity to learn, to find (non-dogmatic) answers and also to meet and exchange with other parents, when we sometimes feel quite alone before or after a birth!" Florence

What is your mission/motivation?

"I offer a treatment specially designed for mothers and their babies under 3 months, a gentle, enveloping moment to celebrate birth and honor this unique passage. This treatment is an invitation to take the time to meet each other in a different way, slowly and with presence. It fosters the building of a secure attachment, enabling baby to feel welcomed, heard and safe in the world he's discovering. By supporting relaxation and regulating the nervous system, this treatment soothes the tensions sometimes associated with birth, whether gentle or intense. It also offers a space where the mother can let go of what she is going through, in her body and in her heart, in a spirit of kindness. A suspended time away from the daily grind, to nurture baby's confidence and maternal energy. Emotional and physical support through the sense of touch". Héloïse

Testimonials from Motherstories members

"I received several treatments before, during pregnancy and after the birth of my daughter as well as "mom, baby" sessions. Heloise is super professional and a good listener. The treatments were perfectly adapted to the different periods I was going through and to my needs at the time. Relief from tension, pain and anxiety, a feeling of rebalancing and peace after each session that increased in the days and weeks following. I highly recommend... Especially for new mothers... It feels so good! Andrea

"A thousand thanks Heloise for this treatment received yesterday. A new approach for me. Gentle work but a feeling of liberation from the tangles I was feeling on my right side. And my belly! You've freed something, and I can't put it into words! Happiness and tears of pure joy a few hours later. An experience to relive. I highly recommend it." Marie Hélène

What is your mission/motivation?

“I support women through major physical transitions—pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, surgery, and illness. Through therapeutic touch and somatic work, I support the body as it navigates these changes, at its own pace, without forcing it. Each session is personalized, guided by attentive listening and respect for each person’s unique story. My approach is gentle, precise, and deeply human because the body deserves to be listened to, not just treated.” Caroline

Testimonials from Motherstories members

“I chose Caroline from among the many Reiki practitioners in Geneva because she is a certified Usui & Karuna® Reiki Master. I give her five stars for her Reiki sessions combined with singing bowls, which allowed me to experience a moment of deep relaxation during my first two sessions. They helped me regain a sense of calm and a feeling of lightness in my body. I had never tried Reiki before, but it’s a gentle form of alternative medicine that’s definitely worth exploring, especially for navigating life’s various challenges.”

“My first session with Caroline left a lasting impression on me, as did all the ones that followed. She finds just the right words and truly listens without judgment... Each session has helped me unburden myself thanks to her method. Plus, she puts her heart into everything she does and tailors the session to our needs. She doesn’t keep track of the time and is truly generous. I highly recommend her as soon as you feel ready for change! Thank you, Caroline :-)”

Helping parents to declutter their homes by providing sorting techniques and advice on how to keep their home "clean and tidy" over the long term.

What is your mission/motivation?

"Feeling good at home is paramount, our home should be a place of rejuvenation. So I suggest freeing up that mental burden of tidying up by 'starting from scratch' after sorting and reorganizing storage spaces." Odile Niederhauser

Testimonials from Motherstories members

"I called on Mrs Pepperpote to help us reorganize all our wardrobes because I felt I was spending my time trying to reorganize without finding a good storage technique. So Mrs. Pepperpote arrived with her tips and tricks, her boxes (my daughter nicknamed her Madame Boîtes!) her dynamism and her ultra-functional eye. Accompanied by her good humor and investment, we achieved a team effort. The space in our apartment has been optimized and made more pleasant to live in." Laura P.

"With the end of pregnancy and the arrival of my 2nd child, a lot of things piled up all over the house. I couldn't stand the mess. I felt oppressed. It stressed me out and put me in a bad mood. Madame Pepperpote came, saw, rescued and supported me, and we conquered! Great advice on sorting, reusing, rearranging and getting rid of things. I highly recommend Madame Pepperpote's decluttering help service because it changed not only my interior but also my inner self, and I'm so grateful!" Maude S.
