You belong at the top of your priority list.
And we’ll make it easy for you to stay there—no planning, no stress, just real connections and fun.
Join Hamilton's leading mom community.
Mom life is busy...but putting yourself last? That's a hard pass.
Look, you don’t need a study to tell you that connection, freedom, and belonging make you thrive. You already know that when your needs are met, you feel calm, happy, and actually like yourself. And when they’re not met… well, let’s just say we’ve all had those days.
If you’re feeling drained, overwhelmed, or just over it, you’re not alone. And that’s exactly why we’re here.
You make enough decisions in a day–let us handle this one.
While you’re busy planning fun things for your family, we’ll be over here planning fun things for you!
Our monthly clubs are designed to help you connect and recharge—whether it’s a casual walk, a book club, or a fitness class. And with our ever-growing event calendar, there’s always something new to try.
Just show up. For YOU.
No judgement. No drama. Just real support, real connection, and real moments of belonging.
Self-care isn't just about solo activities; it's about connecting with others who understand your journey. Our community offers a space where you can share experiences, find support, and recharge together.
So if you're ready to move yourself up the priority list, we're ready to help you get there.
Join the go-to mom community for Hamilton, Ontario.
We created Mamaraderie in 2021 with one goal in mind: to make it easier for moms to prioritize themselves—without the guilt, the planning, or the overwhelm.
Motherhood is busy. Between endless to-do lists, meal planning, and managing everyone else’s needs, it’s no surprise that moms so often put themselves last. But here’s the thing—you deserve better. You deserve time for yourself, moments to recharge, and experiences that remind you of who you are beyond the role of “mom.”
That’s where we come in.
We understand that self-care suggestions can sometimes feel like just another item on your to-do list. That's why we take the mental load off your plate by planning activities designed just for you—whether that’s a relaxing walk, a fitness class, or a fun night out. No stress, no overthinking—just easy ways to say “yes” to yourself.
You already take care of so much. Let us take care of this—so you can show up for yourself.
Ela Wojciechowska
Co-founder
Ela moved to Hamilton, ON in 2014, just before having her second child, and like so many moms, she quickly realized that taking care of herself always ended up last on the to-do list. As an introvert in a new city, she struggled to find easy, no-stress ways to do something just for herself. That’s what inspired her to create Mamaraderie—a space where moms can say yes to themselves without the guilt and without the mental load of planning it all.
She believes moms shouldn’t feel like they’re just “getting through the day”—they deserve to have something to look forward to.
When she’s not working on Mamaraderie, you’ll find her soaking up a good podcast, going on long walks, sneaking in some audiobook time, or cheering from the sidelines at her kids’ games.
Shelbi De Silva
Co-founder
Shelbi found herself in 2018 as a new mom in Hamilton with no new friends, and knew she couldn’t spend this new chapter of her life in isolation. She is a born community builder and believes moms have the power to change the world together. She is inspired by the hundreds of moms she has met over the years, and their impactful stories of resilience.
She wants moms to remember to shamelessly prioritize themselves in their motherhood journey, as she knows first-hand what it feels like when life throws massive curveballs your way.
After recently moving on from an 11+ year career in the corporate retail world, she is now enjoying life as an entrepreneur and busy mom of 2 boys. Her favourite hobbies include spending time on the beach, fitness, cheering on her favourite sports teams and deal hunting.
