Meet the women behind The Solo Babymoon

Close to a thousand women have prepared for birth with us since 2023.
Each retreat is led by Shirin or Amber, with four midwives on call day and night.

Why Shirin started mom’z

Shirin came to her first birth stressed and rushed.

For her second, she made time. She prepared her body and mind, and spent time with other pregnant women. She went into birth calm and ready.

Most women don’t get that time. They work until the final weeks and prepare on their own, often with no one around them who is pregnant too.

So in 2023 she founded mom’z and created The Solo Babymoon: a few days away from everyday life, with women at the same stage, cared for by people who know pregnancy well.

mom’z runs The Solo Babymoon: four-night pregnancy retreats near Barcelona and near Lisbon, led by childbirth educators and midwives, for women who come without their partner, between week 14 and week 35.
