MomMirror's role

Not by diagnosing, but by asking so you do not have to wait for someone else to notice

Earlier awareness gives a mother, and her doctor, more time and more options.

Why CBT

One check-in, four clear steps

MomMirror turns CBT-based principles into one practical sequence: notice what you are feeling, place it in context, build a more useful response and receive insight cards that close the loop.

One complete check-in 3 minutes or less
01 Affect labelling

Notice and name it

Record mood, stress, energy and sleep. Putting a feeling into words turns a vague state into something you can examine.

MomMirror screen for notice and name it
02 Structured reflection

Place it in context

With personalised, judgement-free prompts, talk about your feelings, concerns and ideas by text or voice, for a few minutes or a longer conversation. The private chat is built around maternal context and content shaped by a psychiatrist in training and current research.

03 Cognitive reframing

Build a more useful response

CBT-based prompts help you question an unhelpful thought, form a more balanced view and choose one realistic next step.

04 Personalised insight cards

Receive insights from your check-in

MomMirror closes the loop with insight cards shaped by your check-in: gentle reframes, gratitudes, affirmations and a clear summary of the day.

Why naming matters

A neuroimaging study found that putting feelings into words was associated with diminished amygdala and limbic response to negative images.

Lieberman et al. (2007) ↗
Why repetition matters

Habit research found that repeating a behaviour in a consistent context increased automaticity over time. Missing one opportunity did not materially affect the process.

03 Early user feedback
A lifesaver for overwhelmed moms! Being a working mom of two little ones is far from easy. I often felt overwhelmed trying to balance work and family life. This app finally allowed me to carve out some much-needed me time. It made me feel understood and helped me realize that many of my struggles were perfectly normal and manageable. I highly recommend it to all new moms.

I love MomMirror! I so wished it were available earlier! A safe space to share joy, concern, occasional frustration — and to find that insight, that warm nudge, the right word that you need to reset and restart. An every day companion that reminds you that life is a marvellous journey, that every day is special and brings with it precious moments and memories.

05 Early user feedback
As a solo mom, MomMirror is helping me vent and express feelings I’ve been keeping to myself. It helps me to unwind at the end of the day and keeps track of my emotions. I especially like the Affirmations because they help me see the day or emotions in a different perspective, more positive.

Built for daily use, not one check-in

Consistency turns individual entries into a record

Each check-in enters a living loop: it grows a flower, holds a memory, shapes realistic actions for the day and becomes part of a weekly review. What happened today can help you recognise progress and choose what to carry into next week.

01 · YOUR GARDEN

Each check-in grows a flower

Every flower remains tied to the day that created it, turning individual check-ins into a garden you can return to.

02 · YOUR JOURNEY

Add a memory to the day

Attach a photo to a day and build a personal gallery around the moments, feelings and progress you want to remember.

03 · YOUR PLAN

Turn insight into a realistic next step

Your check-in helps shape personalised to-dos and routines for that day, with small actions that can adapt as your needs change.

04 · WEEKLY REVIEW

Close the loop and begin again

Daily flowers, memories and routines become a weekly reflection, with patterns and gentle intentions to carry into the next week.

Every stage of motherhood

Motherhood does not have one hard season

Support tends to arrive in one narrow window, and only if someone thinks to ask. MomMirror is there for all of it.

01

Family planning

Trying, or thinking about it. The pressure starts long before the baby does.

02

Pregnancy

Nine months of change, when most of the questions are about the baby.

03

Postpartum

The stage everyone names, and the one where symptoms are still often missed.

04

The years in between

Toddlers, school runs, and the ordinary weight of a growing child.

05

Mothers of teenagers

The load changes shape. It does not disappear.

Start where you are. Your check-ins adapt as motherhood changes. A few minutes a day, just for you.

The next evidence step

Grounded in CBT, built for the next level of evidence

MomMirror is developed with clinical direction from a psychiatrist in training and reviewed against current clinical guidance and CBT research. That is the foundation, not a claim that the app provides treatment.

A formal study of MomMirror's effectiveness is in the works, led by clinical and scientific experts. The team is shaping the research question, seeking qualified partners and preparing to involve mothers in the process.

Study preparation
Research brief available

For qualified clinical and scientific partners; scope, methods and governance are being defined.

01
Established

CBT and affect-labelling research provide the scientific starting point.

02
In progress

A formal evaluation of MomMirror is now in the works with clinical and scientific leadership.

03
Open

Mothers, clinicians and research partners can help shape what comes next.

For doctors and therapists

A clearer account of what happened between appointments

Emotional patterns can be difficult to recall in the consulting room. MomMirror is exploring mother-controlled summaries that make it easier to discuss mood, stress, sleep and reflections with a qualified professional.
