Branding Build Spotlight - The Alchemical Mama. Aromatherapist, Doula, Intuitive Coach.

I first "met" Kamahria Hopkins, the amazing powerhouse behind The Alchemical Mama, when she signed up to take the Maternal Support Practitioner Training (aka doula training) through Bebo Mia. I instantly fell in love with her company name and before we even ever started chatting about working together, I was already imagining building a brand for her.

When we started our work together, I was excited to learn more about Kamahria and the kind of business she was looking to build. Just like I do with every branding build, we made she that her foundation was very clear. Kamahria described her company's mission as "To empower folks as they seek to create, grow and birth life, while providing evidence-based and mystical solutions for the journey to and through parenthood and self-actualization. Unearthing the majestic inherent in birth and life." WOW! Her words are as magical as she is.

After learning more about her target market, her goals and her values, the look of her brand became so very clear.

With The Alchemical Mama, I wanted something that captured that feeling of magic that I felt when speaking to Kamahria. Her target market was very precise, making it so much easier to figure out the look. I wanted her brand to speak to her tagline "WHERE PRACTICAL MEETS MAGICAL"

When building the brand board, I chose colours that were both moody and sensual yet bright and vibrant. We ended up going with a mixture of purples and blues. Purple excludes wisdom, mystery and magic while the bright turquoise blue is associated with creativity, serenity, femininity and intuition.

After we decided on the branding colours and fonts, it was time to get started with the logo. I knew this logo just couldn't be simple. It didn't match the company she was hoping to build. the services she provides or the target market she wanted to reach. Thankfully, I have many talented people in my life and I knew straight away I had to collaborate with my friend, fellow doula/photog and my tattoo artist Sean Sue. Sean is a very talented artist working out of Langley, BC who has an incredible skill at black and white line work. I sent Sean the brand board, shared with her my clients target market, mission and vision for her company. We wanted to reflect the metamorphosis and the change from pelvis (practical) to the butterfly (magical) was the perfect visual image to capture this, with the third eye in the middle where wisdom is born. Sean did such an amazing job with her artwork! No one could have done a better job.. and now I kind of want this as my next tattoo! 

I added the colour on the butterfly side to push more of the metamorphosis look and give a great pop of colour that was really needed to complete the look. 

Her business card allowed us to pull in more of her branding colours.
