Our Story – What Is Eklektik Mama?

We’re not your typical mama group—this is your space to connect, laugh, and thrive.

Founded by Simone Mazloumian, Eklektik Mama was created to give mamas a chance to laugh a little louder, rediscover their social lives, and make real friends.

Whether you’re balancing kids, work, or just the chaos of everyday life, we believe every mama deserves a break. That’s why we host events where you can have fun, unwind, and connect with mamas who really get it.

No need to put on a front—come as you are and find your people. After all, mamas need play dates too!

Meet Simone

I’m Simone, an Armenian-Irish third-culture kid who grew up in the Caribbean and Egypt before moving to Dubai when I was ten. Now, thirty years later, I’m lucky to call Abu Dhabi home with my husband Dean, our four kids—Erik, Darcy, and twins Wren and Catrin—along with our cat Moto and dog Sage.

As a self-proclaimed foodie (the spicier, the better!), I love organising our family adventures around Abu Dhabi and beyond. Whether it’s discovering the best spots to eat or finding fun activities for our family of six, planning is part of my daily life.

Before kids, I worked in video and still production, surrounded by creative minds while living and breathing schedules and budgets. Today, as a proud mama, I’m on a mission to bring a little more fun into the lives of Abu Dhabi’s mamas.

Our Mission

I know firsthand the highs, lows, and in-betweens that come with mamahood. That’s why I founded Eklektik Mama—to give mamas a lifeline in the form of belly laughs, hot coffee, and the rare opportunity to finish a conversation! Whether you’re in the baby bubble or juggling work, Eklektik Mama is here to support you. Ditch the guilt and rediscover your social life with us.

Real Connections

Find mamas who genuinely understand the highs, lows, and everything in between. We’re not about picture-perfect—just real talk and real friendships with people who get what you’re going through.

Inclusive Community

It doesn’t matter if you’re a first-time mum figuring it all out, or a seasoned pro who’s seen it all. We’re here for you at every stage of your journey. This is your space to connect, share, and grow alongside other amazing mamas who lift each other up.
