ABOUT MERCI MUMMY

A C-PTSD-Informed Mother Breaking Cycles and Building Villages

Hi, I’m Elodie—a single mother, researcher, and the creator of Merci Mummy.

Like many of you, I’m not just parenting; I’m breaking cycles, unlearning reflexes shaped by trauma, and designing tools to help others do the same.

As someone living with C-PTSD, I’ve spent years understanding how my past influences my present—and how I can actively rewrite the story for my son and myself. My mission is simple: to build a village of tools, truths, and togetherness for parents committed to raising the next generation consciously.

My Story in Brief:

I grew up in a world where violence—physical, emotional, and psychological—was normalized. My trauma wasn’t a one-time event; it was a thread woven into my everyday life, shaping how I saw myself and how I related to others.

Becoming a mother is still cracking me open. It forces me to confront the reflexes I’d inherited, the patterns I’d absorbed, and the systems I wanted to dismantle. It’s not just about raising my son differently; it’s about reprogramming myself.

Merci Mummy is for:

1. Cycle-Breaking Parents

• If you’re determined to break the generational patterns of trauma and create a new legacy for your children, this space is for you.

2. Single Mothers

• If you’re navigating the complexities of single motherhood while striving to stay grounded, compassionate, and intentional, you’re not alone here.

3. Parents Living with Trauma or CPTSD

• If your past sometimes feels like it’s following you into your parenting, Merci Mummy offers tools to help you heal, grow, and build something new.

4. Mothers Without a Village

• If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing this alone, this is the village you’ve been looking for—a space to share truths, tools, and togetherness.

5. Parents Committed to Emotional Growth

• If you’re ready to replace guilt with accountability, reactivity with calm, and chaos with connection, you’re in the right place.

6. Future mothers suffering with anxiety

• If you want to start your journey of emotional healing and self-mastery before child-birth.

7. You don’t have to be a parent !

• If you are committed to reprogram yourself and work hand in hand with your inner child.

8. Bilinguals/Multilinguals families

• Whether your family is a huge village or a beautiful duo (or anyything in between), learn how to use bilingualism as a tool to connect, heal and be truly present. You don’t have to be fluent, just to be willing to use a second language at home.

What You’ll Find Here:

• Research-Based Parenting Tools: Strategies and insights rooted in my personal experiences and backed by science.

• Cycle-Breaking Support: Techniques for unlearning trauma-based reflexes and building healthier patterns.

• Practical Resources: Toolkits for managing emotional emergencies, cultivating accountability, and fostering connection.

This isn’t a space for perfection. It’s a space for growth—for learning, unlearning, and creating a new legacy, one step at a time.

My Mission:

To help parents like you turn guilt into action, chaos into calm, and isolation into connection. Together, we can break the cycles that hold us back—and build a village that holds us up.
