Ammu Vivekananda

Welcome to Happier Mom.com! I am the founder of Happier Mom, Ammu Vivekananda.

I am a single mom of two beautiful children, one of whom was diagnosed with autism. For a very long time, I was overwhelmed, confused, and super frustrated with parenting. I had virtually every parenting book on my bookshelves but I still felt like none of these books really helped me with my children. 

Because I loved my children so much, it hurt me deeply that I couldn't help them. I finally decided to do my own research and experimentation and then about ten years later...voila Happier Mom was born!

The experience of raising my children connected me to other mothers who also struggled with raising their children. The Coronavirus pandemic was an especially brutal time for moms. I witnessed my dear friends sinking into depression, turning to drugs and alcohol, and sadly even committing suicide. I resolved to learn everything I could about parenting so that I could help other mothers.

I'm delighted to use this platform to offer support to other incredible mothers on their wonderful (yet often wild!) parenting journeys.
