About Bliss Mama: Elmi Amran

Hello!

My name is Elmi Amran, your ally, advocate, and companion through the beautiful and powerful journey of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. I live in the in-between - between modern medicine and ancient ritual, between body and spirit, between what we call work and what I can only call care.

For more than twenty years, I have worked with people and families as they cross one of life's most mysterious thresholds - birth, and everything that follows. I began as a bodyworker, studying the language of muscles and breath, the way tension tells its own quiet stories. I travelled, learned from healers and teachers in many places, and somewhere along the way, realised that my hands had become my way of listening.

What I offer now isn't just technique. It's presence. The steady kind - the kind that holds without clutching, that allows you to fall apart a little and still feel safe. My work is a weaving of all I have gathered: the warmth of Malay postpartum traditions, the precision of anatomy, the wisdom of touch, the faith that a birthing person's body already knows.

Birth and postpartum are not simply events to be managed; they are seasons to be lived. How we are cared for during this time shapes how we return to ourselves - how we mother, how we love, how we begin again. I try, always, to meet this moment with tenderness. To honour what is ancient in you, and what is still becoming.

Outside of work, I move slowly. I cook, eat, dance and wander. Always drawn to the people and places that make life feel full and real. I take photographs of light on walls and faces. I believe in beauty, in laughter, in creating small rituals that bring me home to myself.

The word I carry into my care is softness - because softness is a form of strength.

If you are here, perhaps you are standing on the edge of change. Let’s walk it together - with care, warmth, and the faith that your body already knows the way.
