Women In Wellness Feature
Ariadna Archer
DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN A FEW PARAGRAPHS:ย
I, Ariadna Archer, am the founder of Blisshood– an online community for the modern woman. Our content focuses on motherhood, wellness, lifestyle, and the pursuit of bliss.I was born and raised in Mexico, attended college in the United States. After marrying a wonderful French man, I moved to France approximately 9 years ago and gave birth to two wonderful boys that I adore.
Originally, Blisshood was born out of the realization that expat mothers like myself were having trouble building a supportive network in France not only due to language and cultural barriers but, above all, due to the lack of an active English-speaking community that celebrates motherhood and kids as a whole.
Along with wellness and parenting experts, I organized a series of events, retreats and masterclasses to empower mothers to leave a more blissful life. Also, Ariadna Archer started a blog featuring other fellow moms and wellness expert that inspire me–you can find these interviews on website.
Blisshood has been featured in some of the most prestigious Parisian blogs such as HIP Paris and was named one of the 100.
