The face behind Blooming Births- Chantel Kismet!
What’s your Story?
Living as my authentic self, in love with painting and connecting with nature. Laughter and breathwork is my medicine. My journey into birth work was sparked by my traumatic birth experience and postpartum depression. Through my experience, I saw the gap in support and empowerment in women to take charge of their health and birth. Through the last 5 years, I’ve evolved the business and now offer women’s coaching, parenting coaching and trauma release through somatics. Currently learning from Dr Gabor Mate to deepen my skills to support women who have experienced any kind of trauma.

How do you bring BALANCE to your roles as MOTHER: FOUNDER: SELF?
Striking balance as a mother, founder, and individual is rooted in aligning with my values and intentions. A cornerstone of this balance is trusting my intuition and embracing mindfulness, which demands grounding and presence. Integrating breathwork into my mornings and evenings, along with regular meditation and journaling, forms a vital part of my daily routine. Setting clear intentions and boundaries help me decide where my energy should go. Every Friday, I carve out a dedicated three hours for self-care, and every quarter, I treat myself to a rejuvenating staycation, reveling in the bliss of solitude. Working with a coach has also helped me!
Any recent accomplishment you would like to share with us? (personal/professional)
I’ve come really far on my own healing journey and I’ve really proud of it! We’ve been invited to podcasts (Honeykids Asia) and even featured on a documentary with Vasantham. Proud to have won awards with Expat Living as well
What would you like to say to fellow mothers or women thinking of starting a business?
There will be multiple times where you feel like your heart is pulled in different directions. It’s so important to prioritize self-care without guilt. Taking care of yourself is not a luxury but a necessity for sustained success in both your personal and professional life. Recognize the unique strengths and skills you bring as a mother. Parenthood hones resilience, time-management, and multitasking abilities—valuable assets in entrepreneurship. Don’t hesitate to seek support from family, friends, or professionals. Delegating tasks allows you to focus on essential aspects of both motherhood and business.
What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a Mother/Founder ?
