I am Maria, originally from Portugal and currently living in Berlin, Germany. I am a proud mother of two wonderful children. My journey towards advocating for better nutrition and a healthier lifestyle began when I discovered I was expecting my first child in 2018. The moment I knew I was becoming a mother, something shifted in me—I felt a deep responsibility to nourish not just my baby, but myself, with the best possible foods. I realised that what we eat, and how we live, lays the foundation for a healthy, vibrant life, starting from the very beginning. This realisation turned into my passion and purpose: to help others embrace healthier living, for themselves and their families.
The mom behind Mimo
Motivated by this newfound responsibility, I immersed myself in research, seeking out information on my own. With each new piece of knowledge, my passion for promoting wellness and proper nutrition grew stronger. Driven by my desire to provide optimal care for both my child and myself during the post-partum period, I embarked on a journey to become a certified holistic nutrition consultant specializing in pregnancy, postpartum, and babies, enhancing my career as a chef.
New start
I pursued further education and completed a certification program at the Oh Baby School of Holistic Nutrition. This comprehensive training has equipped me with the knowledge needed to skillfully support mothers and their babies on their journey towards optimal health and well-being. My decision to delve deeper into holistic nutrition reflects my heartfelt commitment to nourishing both my family and broader community following a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
What "Mimo" MeansIn Portuguese, "Mimo" means showing affection or showering someone with kindness. In English it combines "mi" (for mini) and "mo" (for mom). This makes "Mimo" perfect for this project–both moms and minis deserve love and nurturing.
