About Alexia
Alexia Maman is a mother of three boys and a holistic birth and mothering guide. Her work merges evidence-based functional health with intuitive, sovereignty-centered education to support mothers and families across the reproductive journey.​
Alexia has supported hundreds of women through pregnancy, birth preparation, postpartum integration, and early parenting. Through her own experiences within the medical system—and her conscious journey out of it—alongside her work with mothers navigating birth trauma, medicalized birth, and postpartum depletion, she became deeply engaged in advocacy around medical freedom, bodily autonomy, self-responsibility, and physiologic birth.​
She stands behind the belief that mothers deserve access to empowering, nuanced education so they can make informed decisions that align with their values, their bodies, and their families. Her work is dedicated to helping women reconnect with their innate wisdom, restore trust in their bodies, and integrate both science—where it has a place—and intuition in mothering.​
Alexia offers 1:1 consults, pregnancy and postpartum chat support, and ongoing mentorship for mothers seeking grounded, responsive guidance. In addition to private work, she creates educational resources, workshops, and digital programs through her platform Being Maman, and shares her teachings with a global audience through Instagram and long-form writing on Substack.​Her mission is to support a return to sovereign mothering—where women are informed, resourced, and deeply supported as they move through conception, birth, healing, and beyond.
Background & Training
My work is informed primarily by lived experience, self-directed learning and research, and years of working with hundreds of women. While I do have formal education alongside extensive continuing education in maternal mental health, functional health, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care, I do not support mothers under any credentials other than my role as a mother and guide.
​
I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. My role is to provide education, perspective, and support for women choosing to take radical responsibility for themselves and their families, and to mother outside the system. This work is shaped by both what I learned—and what I intentionally unlearned—through years of working with women in varied settings, within and outside institutional systems. It is also deeply informed by my own experience as a mother who navigated chronic illness with my first child, left the medical system, and found healing for my family—ultimately leading to my last sovereign pregnancy and freebirth.
​
My education includes certification in Functional Medicine for ADHD through Psychiatry Redefined (2024); Holistic Nutrition Consulting for Pregnancy, Birth, Postpartum, Breastfeeding, and Babies through Oh Baby School of Holistic Nutrition (2023–2025); training in Maternal Mental Health, Perinatal Mood Disorders, and Perinatal Mental Health Psychotherapy through Postpartum Support International (2020–2021); Cognitive Behavioural Therapy through RUIS McGill (2018); and a Master of Social Work from McGill University (2018).
​
My professional experience includes, in chronological order: work in community services; co-founding the CYCI non-profit organization; social work within government health services (antepartum, birthing, postpartum, and NICU units); case work in government child protective services; clinical counselling in private practice and clinical settings; senior clinician roles within private mental health services; holistic health consulting; and birth guidance.
