01 — About ama.

One line

ama. is the world's first private community app built exclusively for Single Mothers by Choice.

Short

ama. is a private, verified community for women choosing solo motherhood — whether they're considering the journey, trying to conceive, pregnant, or already parenting.

It's a place to connect, ask questions, find friendship, and feel understood by women who truly get it.

Long

ama. is the world's first private community app built exclusively for Single Mothers by Choice. Whether they're considering the journey, navigating fertility treatment, pregnant, or already raising children, ama. provides a trusted place to connect with women walking a similar path.

Founded by Melanie, a Single Mother by Choice herself, ama. was created to be the space she wished had existed when she first began her own journey — a place where women can find understanding, friendship, and genuine support at every stage.

02 — Why the name

Why ama.?

Across many cultures, ama has long been associated with motherhood, care, and love.

It's one of the earliest sounds a child learns to make — a sound shared across languages and generations.

It felt like the right name for a community built around one of life's most meaningful journeys.

04 — From the founder

“I built the space I once longed for.
For the women still choosing. The women trying. The women expecting. And the women already raising their children.
A place to be held through every part of the journey.
Because choosing your own path should never mean walking it alone.”

— Melanie, Founder of ama.
