<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>When Alicia first became a mother, she was filled with excitement, but also frustration. While other baby carriers on the market might have been functional, they didn’t meet her personal need for a stylish, comfortable option that could keep up with her active lifestyle. As a young mother, she wanted to look and feel good while bonding with her baby, but the carriers she tried often left her feeling uncomfortable or unattractive.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>“I remember thinking, ‘Why can’t there be a baby carrier that is both comfortable and fashionable?’ I didn’t want to feel frumpy just because I was a new mom,” Alicia said with a smile.</p>
</blockquote>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Rachel-and-Alicia-speaking-during-interview-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-12723" srcset="https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Rachel-and-Alicia-speaking-during-interview-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Rachel-and-Alicia-speaking-during-interview-300x200.jpg 300w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Rachel-and-Alicia-speaking-during-interview-768x512.jpg 768w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Rachel-and-Alicia-speaking-during-interview-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Rachel-and-Alicia-speaking-during-interview-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://rachelleng.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Rachel-and-Alicia-speaking-during-interview-600x400.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Alicia opens up about the personal journey that led to the creation of her first baby sling, which sparked the birth of the Pikimama brand and has since blossomed into a thriving business.</em></figcaption></figure>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>This frustration sparked a solution. Alicia decided to create her own sling that would combine the softness of a wrap with the simplicity of a carrier. But it wasn’t just about making something for herself—it was about helping others who might be struggling with the same issues.</p>



<div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>“I realized that if I was feeling this way, there must be other mothers out there who are looking for the same thing. I wanted something practical but also beautiful.”</p>
</blockquote>



<div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>It wasn’t long before Alicia’s sling became a hit with her friends. What started as a simple project to fulfill her own needs quickly expanded, as other mothers asked her to create slings for them as well. “Every time I went out with my son in the sling, other moms would stop me and ask, ‘Can you make one for me too?’” she recalled.</p>



<div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>In the early days, Alicia would meet customers in local parks for “sling exchanges,” casually selling them her handmade slings. The informal, community-focused approach resonated with other parents, and word of mouth spread quickly. As the demand grew, Alicia realized she had something special. This organic growth led her to formalize the business, ensuring she could continue offering her product to a wider audience while maintaining the authenticity that had made Pikimama so beloved.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>“It was amazing how it all happened,” Alicia said. “What started out as a hobby became a full-blown business, and I knew I needed to take it seriously in order to protect the brand and make sure it could scale properly.”</p></blockquote></figure>



<p>As Pikimama began to flourish, Alicia’s dedication to quality and customer connection remained at the heart of everything she did. Her deep understanding of the needs of mothers, coupled with the support of the growing community around her, allowed Pikimama to thrive in ways she had never imagined.</p>



<p>Today, Pikimama is a global brand, supporting not just mothers in Japan, but families around the world. The company has expanded its product range and reached new international markets, all while staying true to its roots of quality, authenticity, and personal care.</p>



<p>Alicia’s humble beginnings—exchanging slings at the park—have grown into a thriving business that empowers parents everywhere, with the same personal touch that made Pikimama so special in the first place.</p>

<p>One of the key reasons Pikimama has become so beloved is its unmatched quality and safety. Alicia insists on overseeing every step of the production process, ensuring that each sling meets her high standards. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>“I really wanted to make sure that each sling is made with care, from the cutting of the fabric to the stitching and final delivery. Everything is done in-house because I believe it’s important to oversee the entire process,” she explained.</p>

<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>In addition to their commitment to handcrafted excellence, Pikimama slings are designed with the utmost safety in mind. They have passed rigorous global safety standards, ensuring that each sling is not only beautiful and functional but also safe for both baby and parent. Pikimama slings have received certifications from trusted organizations, including ASTM International, which sets global safety standards for children’s products, and the Hip Dysplasia Institute, further ensuring the sling&#8217;s compliance with rigorous safety criteria.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p><strong>The Pikimama sling features key safety elements that contribute to both the comfort and well-being of the baby and parent.</strong> The <strong>M-shape carry</strong>, which promotes healthy hip development, ensures that babies are held in a natural and ergonomic position. Additionally, the support belt provides extra security, while the sling&#8217;s thoughtful design evenly distributes the baby&#8217;s weight across the parent&#8217;s back and shoulders, reducing strain.</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Alicia also emphasized the <strong>sling’s suitability for post-C-section mothers</strong>, as the design ensures no pressure is placed on the abdomen, which is a crucial consideration for new mothers recovering from surgery.</p>

<p>Alicia’s commitment to sustainability is another core value at Pikimama. As part of her eco-conscious mission, Pikimama offers an upcycling service where customers can return used slings to be transformed into eco-friendly bags. In addition, the studio uses fabric scraps creatively, such as for arts &amp; crafts activities for kids, ensuring minimal waste and promoting sustainable practices.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>“We want to be part of the solution when it comes to reducing textile waste,” Alicia said. “Instead of discarding scraps, we reuse them to create other products, like bags, so that nothing goes to waste. This way, we’re doing our part for the planet while also offering something unique to our customers.” </p></blockquote></figure>



<p>She also pointed out Pikimama’s children’s dresses, which have been designed with sustainability in mind. The dresses are expandable, meaning they can grow with the child, reducing the need to constantly buy new clothes every few months.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="trying-on-the-sling-a-new-perspective-on-parenting-and-comfort"><strong>Trying on the Sling: A New Perspective on Parenting and Comfort</strong></h2>


<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>One of the most eye-opening moments during my visit to Pikimama was when Alicia had me try on one of the slings, but with a twist. To give me a real feel for the experience, she handed me a weighted doll that mimicked the weight of a newborn baby. As someone who isn&#8217;t a mother yet, I had always heard about the challenges of carrying a baby, but I never truly understood the physical demands until I experienced it firsthand.</p>



<div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Alicia carefully guided me through the process of putting on the sling, adjusting it to fit my body. She explained how the design ensures that the baby’s weight is distributed evenly, relieving strain on the shoulders and back. As I stood there, holding the weighted doll in the sling, I could immediately feel how different it was compared to carrying something without support. The weight seemed to almost melt away, and my posture felt more balanced, reducing the pressure on my back.</p>



<div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>

<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p><em>“It’s not just about holding your baby,” Alicia explained as she made sure the sling was adjusted correctly. “It’s about doing so in a way that’s comfortable and sustainable for both the parent and the baby.”</em></p></blockquote></figure>



<p>Even though I wasn’t carrying an actual newborn, the experience was eye-opening. The design of the sling made it clear how much more manageable and comfortable it would be to carry a baby throughout the day. I felt like I had a whole new appreciation for the product, as well as for the challenges new parents face when it comes to babywearing. As Alicia helped me adjust the sling, I reflected on how this experience might come in handy in the future, should I ever become a parent myself. While I’m not yet a mother, understanding how a thoughtful, well-designed product can ease the physical burdens of parenting was enlightening. It was an “aha” moment, realizing just how crucial it is for parents to have a way of carrying their babies for extended periods without putting strain on their bodies while keeping the baby comfortable and close.</p>

<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>While Pikimama continues to thrive as a beloved brand for parents, Alicia’s vision doesn’t stop there. With her new initiative, Ponte Pacific, she is tackling the challenges of work-life balance in Japan head-on. Her <strong>corporate seminars are designed to educate companies and employees about the realities of parenting, maternity, and the emotional and physical tolls these experiences can have on families.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>“There’s such a huge gap in Japan when it comes to supporting new parents, especially working parents,” Alicia said. “We need to help couples understand the physical and emotional challenges that come with parenthood. It’s not just about giving birth—it’s about how these changes affect relationships and the family dynamic.”</p></blockquote></figure>



<p>These<strong> seminars aim to bridge that gap by offering practical advice on topics such as postpartum recovery, hormonal changes, and how couples can support each other through the early stages of parenting. </strong>Alicia’s goal is to create a more inclusive and supportive workplace culture where parents, both mothers and fathers, feel empowered to balance their professional and personal lives.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>“By educating both parents, we can reduce the stress and resentment that often arise from misunderstandings,” she said. “It’s about fostering mutual understanding so that both partners can support each other and enjoy the early years of parenthood without feeling overwhelmed.”</p></blockquote></figure>

<p>As I reflect on my conversation with Alicia, I find myself deeply moved by her unyielding dedication to supporting families. Her journey is a reminder that <strong>the most profound solutions often come from personal experiences and a deep understanding of human connection.</strong> In a world where the pace of life can leave us feeling hurried and disconnected, Alicia’s work offers a powerful lesson in the importance of slowing down and thoughtfully crafting solutions that nurture both people and communities.</p>



<p>From <strong>learning about the meticulous care that goes into each Pikimama sling, to discovering the power of her corporate seminars aimed at creating better support for working parents,</strong> I’ve gained a newfound appreciation for the challenges parents face and the importance of thoughtful solutions. Alicia’s holistic approach to supporting families, from product design to corporate education, highlights how <strong>parenting is not just about the day-to-day care of children, but about fostering a culture of understanding and support—for both mothers and fathers.</strong></p>



<p>The opportunity to learn about her work with Ponte Pacific and the corporate seminars has opened my eyes to the <strong>broader conversations about work-life balance and the need for systemic change in supporting parents in the workplace. </strong>Alicia’s vision for creating more family-friendly environments in corporate settings is a powerful reminder of how companies can play a key role in shaping a society where parents are given the tools to thrive both at work and at home.</p>



<p>Above all, my encounter with Alicia reaffirmed something very important to me: that <strong>parenting is a shared experience, and when we support each other—whether through innovative products or corporate initiatives—we can create a world where families thrive, not just survive. </strong></p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>As Alicia herself said, “Happy Mommy = Happy Baby.” However, it is also important to note the rest of the equation, where “Happy Daddy = Happy Family” are also intertwined. Alicia’s work reflects the truth of this statement in every way.</p>
</blockquote>

<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>I am grateful for this opportunity to witness Alicia’s journey, and I leave this interview not only inspired but also deeply moved by the ripple effect she is creating for parents everywhere. Whether through a beautiful sling, an empowering seminar, or a commitment to sustainability, Alicia is proving that thoughtful innovation can make a profound difference in the lives of families. </p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>As a continuous supporter of Pikimama, I will remain an advocate for their mission and encourage you to do the same. Whether it’s purchasing a sling for yourself, a friend, or a loved one, or inquiring about Alicia’s corporate seminars to help create more family-friendly workplaces, I hope everyone will consider how they can be a part of supporting a company that’s truly making a difference.</p>

<div style="height:0px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;「快適でありながら、おしゃれな抱っこ紐があってもいいのに」と思ったことを覚えています。新米ママだからといって、野暮ったく感じたくはなかったんです。&#8221;</em></p><cite><em> </em>——アリシア氏は微笑みながら振り返りました。</cite></blockquote></figure>

<p>この不満こそが解決策を生み出す原動力でした。アリシア氏は、柔らかな布の質感と抱っこ紐のシンプルさを併せ持った、オリジナルのスリングを作ることを決意します。そして、それは自分自身のためだけではなく、同じ悩みを抱える多くの母親たちの力になれるかもしれない、と気づいたのです。</p>

<p>アリシア氏のスリングは、すぐに友人たちの間で評判となりました。自身の必要性を満たすための取り組みとして始めたものが、他の母親たちからも依頼を受けるようになり、急速に広がっていったのです。</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>&#8220;息子をスリングに入れて出かけるたびに、他のママたちに「私にも作ってくれない？」と声をかけられました<em>&#8221; </em>——アリシア氏は当時を振り返りました。</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>初めの頃、アリシア氏は地元の公園でお客さんと会い、自作のスリングを気軽に販売していました。こうしたカジュアルでコミュニティを大切にするスタイルは、多くの親たちの共感を呼び、口コミで広がっていきました。やがて需要が高まり、アリシア氏は自分のスリングが特別な存在になっていることに気付きました。こうした自然な広がりを受け、アリシア氏は事業を本格的に立ち上げることを決意しました。Pikimamaの魅力である温かみや誠実さを大切にしながら、より多くの人に届けられる仕組みを整えていきました。</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>&#8220;すべてが自然な流れで起きたんです。趣味で始めたことが本格的なビジネスへと発展し、ブランドを守って成長させるためには真剣に取り組む必要があると思いました。<em>&#8220;</em></p></blockquote></figure>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Pikimamaの成長のなかでアリシア氏が大切にしてきたのは、品質に対する徹底したこだわりと、顧客とのつながりを大切にする姿勢です。母親たちのニーズを深く理解し、コミュニティの力を借りながら築いてきたPikimamaは、当初の想像をはるかに超える成功を収めるに至りました。</p>



<p>そして今やPikimamaは、日本をはじめ世界中の家族を支えるグローバルブランドへと成長しています。製品ラインナップの拡充や海外市場への進出が続く中でも、品質・本物志向・親への思いやりというブランドの原点は揺らぐことがありません。</p>



<p>アリシア氏は、公園でスリングを販売していた小さな一歩から始め、今では世界中の親たちを支えるビジネスへと成長させました。その原点には、Pikimamaが特別な存在であり続ける理由でもある、温かい個人的な心遣いが息づいています。</p>

<p>アリシア氏はサステナビリティにも力を入れており、それはPikimamaの核となる価値観の一つです。環境に配慮する使命の一環として、Pikimamaではアップサイクルサービスを提供しており、使用済みのスリングを回収し、環境に優しいバッグへと生まれ変わらせています。さらに、スタジオでは布の端切れを活用し、子ども向けのアート＆クラフト活動に使用するなど、廃棄物を最小限に抑え、持続可能な取り組みを推進しています。</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>&#8220;繊維廃棄物の削減に貢献したいと思っています。端切れを捨てるのではなく、バッグなどの新しい製品に再利用することで、無駄をなくすことができます。こうすることで、地球環境に配慮しながら、お客様にも特別な商品を提供できるのです。<em>&#8221; </em></p><cite>——アリシア氏は話しました。</cite></blockquote></figure>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>また、アリシア氏はPikimamaの子ども用ワンピースにも、サステナビリティの考え方を取り入れています。このワンピースはサイズ調整が可能なデザインになっており、子どもの成長に合わせて長く着られるため、頻繁に新しい服に買い替える必要がありません<strong>。</strong></p>

<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Pikimamaを訪れた際、最も印象的だったのは、アリシア氏がスリングを試着させてくれたときのことです。実際に新生児と同じ体重の人形を使い、赤ちゃんを抱っこする感覚をリアルに体験させてくれました。</p>



<p>私はまだ母親ではなく、赤ちゃんの抱っこがどれほど大変なのかは話に聞くだけでしたが、この体験で、その身体的負担がどれほどのものかを身をもって感じました。</p>



<p>アリシア氏はスリングの正しい装着方法をひとつひとつ丁寧に教えてくれて、私の体に合わせて細かく調整してくれました。そして、スリングがいかに赤ちゃんの体重を効率的に分散し、肩や背中への負担を軽減するのかを詳しく説明してくれました。</p>



<p>実際に新生児と同じ体重の人形をスリングで抱えてみると、何もサポートなしで抱っこするのとは全く違う感覚でした。体にかかる重みがスリングによって驚くほど軽減され、姿勢も安定し、背中への圧力が和らぐのを感じました。</p>

<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>&#8220;ただ赤ちゃんを抱っこするだけではなく、親と赤ちゃんの両方にとって快適で、負担の少ない方法で抱っこすることが大切なんです。<em>&#8221; </em></p>



<p>アリシア氏はそう言いながら、スリングが正しく調整されているかを確認してくれました。</p>



<div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>実際に赤ちゃんを抱っこしていたわけではありませんが、この体験はとても印象的でした。Pikimamaスリングを試してみると、一日中赤ちゃんを抱えて過ごすことがどれほど楽になるのかがよく分かりました。製品の魅力を改めて感じると同時に、育児の大変さや、抱っこ紐が新米ママ・パパにとってどれほど重要なものなのかを実感しました。</p>



<p>アリシア氏に手伝ってもらいながらスリングを調整しているうちに、もし将来、自分が親になったときにこの経験が役立つかもしれないと考えました。まだ母親ではない私にとっても、よく考えられた製品が育児の負担をどれだけ軽くしてくれるのかを知ることができたのは、大きな学びでした。</p>



<p>長時間の抱っこで親の体に負担をかけず、赤ちゃんを快適に、そして自然に近くで守れることの大切さを改めて感じた瞬間でした。 実際に体験することで、より深く理解することができました。</p>

<p>Pikimamaが親たちに愛されるブランドとして成長を続ける一方で、アリシア氏のビジョンはさらに広がっていきました。アリシア氏は新たな取り組みとしてポンテ・パシフィック株式会社を立ち上げ、日本におけるワークライフバランスの課題に正面から取り組んでいます。この<strong>企業向けセミナーでは、企業や従業員に対し、育児や産後の実態、それが家族に及ぼす身体的・精神的な影響について理解を深める機会を提供</strong>しています。</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>&#8220;日本では、新米ママや働く親へのサポートはまだまだ不足していると思います。出産だけでなく、その後に起こる身体的・精神的な変化が夫婦関係や家庭全体にどう影響するかを知っておくことがとても大切です。<em>&#8221; </em></p><cite>——アリシア氏は話しました。</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>このセミナーでは、<strong>産後の回復やホルモンバランスの変化、そして夫婦がどのように支え合えるかといった実践的なアドバイスを提供し、企業と従業員の間にある認識のギャップを埋めること</strong>を目指しています。アリシア氏のゴールは、母親だけでなく父親も含めた、より包括的で支援のある職場文化を築くこと。それによって、育児と仕事のバランスを無理なく取れる環境を実現したいと考えています。</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote"><blockquote><p>&#8220;両親がともに知識を持つことで、育児におけるストレスやすれ違いを減らすことができます。相互理解を深めることで、夫婦がお互いをサポートし合い、育児の初期段階をより前向きに楽しめるようになってほしいのです。<em>&#8221; </em></p><cite>——アリシア氏は話しました。</cite></blockquote></figure>

<p>アリシア氏との会話を振り返ると、彼女の揺るぎない家族支援への情熱に深く心を動かされます。</p>



<p>アリシア氏の歩みは、最も本質的な解決策が個人の経験や人間同士のつながりへの深い理解から生まれることを改めて思い出させてくれます。慌ただしく、時に人とのつながりが希薄になりがちな現代において、アリシア氏の取り組みは、立ち止まり、じっくりと考え、人々やコミュニティを育む解決策を生み出すことの重要性を教えてくれます。</p>



<p>Pikimamaのスリングが一つひとつ丁寧に作られていることを知り、また、働く親への支援を目的とした企業向けセミナーの意義を学ぶ中で、私は改めて親が直面する課題と、それに対する解決策の重要性を実感しました。アリシア氏の家族支援への包括的なアプローチは、単に子どもの世話をするだけでなく、母親・父親の両方が支え合える環境をつくることの重要性を強く示しています。</p>



<p>また、ポンテ・パシフィック株式会社が展開する企業向けセミナーを知ることで、私はワークライフバランスの在り方や、職場で親を支える仕組みを整える必要性について、より広い視野を持つことができました。企業がより家族に優しい環境を整えることは、社会全体の未来に大きな影響を与える——このことを、アリシア氏のビジョンが強く思い出させてくれました。</p>



<p>アリシア氏との出会いは、子育てが個々の親だけの責任ではなく、社会全体で支えるべき経験であることを再認識させてくれました。<strong>革新的な製品開発や企業向けの取り組みを通じて互いに支え合うことで家族が「生き抜く」のではなく「豊かに生きる」社会をつくることができるということです。</strong> </p>



<p>アリシア氏が語った「Happy Mommy = Happy Baby（幸せなお母さんが幸せな赤ちゃんを育む）」という言葉はまさにその通りですが、その方程式のもう一つの側面——「Happy Daddy = Happy Family（幸せなお父さんが幸せな家族をつくる）」もまた、欠かせない真実であることを忘れてはなりません。アリシア氏の取り組みは、この言葉の真実を体現し、家族全体の幸せを支えるものとなっています。</p>
