Founder of Momby
“I believe no mother should ever feel alone raising her child.”
I came to this journey out of love for children — and from my own stumbles, confusion and hardship on the road of becoming a mother.
I left a stable career in tech to go looking for answers to the problems I had lived through myself — problems I knew so many other mothers were quietly living through too.
There were moments so hard I no longer knew whether this path was right or wrong, whether to keep going or stop. But every time I thought of the mothers who would come after me, I chose to try one more time, to push a little further.
Slowly, I found companions I deeply treasure. There were falls, failures, and lessons that cost dearly — but I'm still going, alongside Eric growing up, and alongside the “babies” I gave life to.
Every time I thought of the mothers who would come after me, I chose to keep going.
Mommy + Baby — a name that holds what I've always wished for: good things for mothers and babies.
Momby — a companion for every parent
Momby is an education and companionship platform that helps parents reach accurate knowledge and connect with experts they can truly trust.
Today, tens of thousands of parents open Momby every day. What moves me most isn't the number — it's the trust they place in us: that here, they always have a friend who understands them.

The Joyful Nest
Vietnam's first comprehensive 5-star postpartum care
A model that blends modern medical care with the warmth of home — where every mother is understood, cherished, and respected in each of her own choices.
“This is what I wished for when I first became a mother. And what I created for other mothers.”
The Breeze
Gentle as a breeze — honoring every moment of caring for yourself
Building Momby, I met so many mothers who were pregnant, giving birth, caring for a baby, and still trying not to forget themselves. They wanted natural, gentle products — but the market was too loud and complicated. I knew that feeling.
So I started to learn and experiment. Each formula was a small conversation with skin and hair — listening, adjusting, redoing, until it truly felt right.
The Breeze doesn't chase trends. I only hope it becomes — just like its name — a gentle breeze in your life. Vegan. Good from nature. Enough to care for you with peaceful goodness.
I hope to create one seamless journey — from preparing for pregnancy, through each month, to birth, recovery and raising a child with confidence, peace and happiness.
Trust is the foundation
Everything good begins with being trusted.
Empathy is the compass
Understand first, then help — the way a mother truly needs.
Quality is the measure
Only offer what I'd feel safe giving my own family.
“I believe that when a mother is loved the right way — families grow happier, babies get a stronger start, and society becomes better too, from the simplest, most basic things.”
