The gap
You're not alone
mothers experience a maternal mental health condition, the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth.
MMHLA · U.S. data ↗do not get the care they need. It goes unrecognised, unasked about and unspoken.

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.
Notice and name it
Record mood, stress, energy and sleep. Putting a feeling into words turns a vague state into something you can examine.
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.
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.
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.
A neuroimaging study found that putting feelings into words was associated with diminished amygdala and limbic response to negative images.
Lieberman et al. (2007) ↗Habit research found that repeating a behaviour in a consistent context increased automaticity over time. Missing one opportunity did not materially affect the process.
Lally et al. (2010) ↗Early user feedback
What mothers say about using MomMirror
This app is a wonderful companion for new moms, offering thoughtful emotional support that makes you feel understood and cared for. The exercises are simple, calming, and designed to support overall well-being. There are also interesting articles to read, making it feel like having a gentle, supportive guide by your side every step of the journey.
This app feels like a warm hug for new mothers, providing genuine emotional support that leaves you feeling heard and truly valued. The wellness exercises are easy to follow, soothing, and thoughtfully crafted to nurture your mental and physical balance. It feels like having a kind, knowledgeable friend alongside you through every stage of early motherhood.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Family planning
Trying, or thinking about it. The pressure starts long before the baby does.
Pregnancy
Nine months of change, when most of the questions are about the baby.
Postpartum
The stage everyone names, and the one where symptoms are still often missed.
The years in between
Toddlers, school runs, and the ordinary weight of a growing child.
Mothers of teenagers
The load changes shape. It does not disappear.
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.
For qualified clinical and scientific partners; scope, methods and governance are being defined.
CBT and affect-labelling research provide the scientific starting point.
A formal evaluation of MomMirror is now in the works with clinical and scientific leadership.
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.
