Welcome to Shalom Mama! My name is Nina Nelson and I’m a writer, student midwife and full-time mama of four. I offer ways to simplify, create wellness and empower moms to be more intentional in their lives.

I started this blog as a creative outlet and to share how my family creates wellness through simple living. Soon, others started reading and connected with my message. This has been such an adventure!

About Shalom Mama

I post on the blog a few times a week on a variety of topics related to creating wellness through simple living. Expect to read about simplifying, real food, natural remedies, especially essential oils, and self-care. Wellness is all about an intentional, holistic approach to life.
