The early days of parenting are filled with love but also, let’s be honest, a lot of emotional weight.

The mental load starts before the baby even arrives. The worry. The identity shift. The quiet panic that maybe you’re not doing it “right.” And yet, we don’t talk about it enough.

I’m Dr. Mona Hovaizi, a mom of two under 3, a dentist, and the founder of Gaux. When I became a parent, I expected diapers and sleepless nights. I didn’t expect the emotional fog. Or the pressure to figure everything out overnight. Suddenly there were a thousand products, opinions, and parenting styles competing for my attention. It felt like something humans have done since the beginning of time had become... so complicated.

That’s why I created Gaux.

Gaux is a resource for today’s parents, a hub of expert-backed guidance, support, and tools that help make parenting feel clearer, calmer, and more manageable. We believe less truly can be more, fewer distractions, fewer things, fewer expectations, and more room for what matters: connection, development, and mental peace.

We don’t push brands or promote trends. Everything we create is designed with both your baby’s growth and your mental well-being in mind, because you matter, too.

And while we’re starting with resources and support, we’re just getting started. Soon, we’ll be introducing something we wish existed from the very beginning, something designed to help you parent with confidence, ease, and intention, especially when you’re on the go.

Because parenting shouldn’t be about keeping up.

It should be about tuning in.

And because supporting your baby starts with supporting you.
