Yogi mama-of-one Nura Ahmad is a former digital marketing analyst and survivor of colon cancer. Now, she heads Her Tribe studio and advocates for women’s fitness and pre/postnatal support

Just as most of the friendships formed in the era of social media, Nura Ahmad and I found each other on Instagram and have been in touch for a while now. I got to know of her through a friend, and first looked to her for inspiration on eco-friendly and holistic parenting in Singapore (I believe I first heard of cloth diapering through her posts!). It has always been inspiring to see this go-getting mama being out and about, advocating for alternative healing, mindful parenting and supporting pre- and postnatal mamas through yoga and antenatal classes at the Her Tribe studio in Joo Chiat… all with a child in tow, every step of the way! What I didn’t know is that she is a proud cancer survivor, and she never thought she would be able to conceive after going through that chapter in her life. Here she talks candidly about navigating parenthood, revamping a business in the midst of a pandemic, and finding the light at the end of the tunnel. Read on for her amazing insights and feast your eyes on some gorgeous photos, courtesy of Irina Nilsson Photography!
