About Mammaste, LLC
Mammaste (rhymes with namaste) was born when my daughter customized a pair of Converse® shoes for me for mother’s day 2007 and misspelled ‘namaste’ as ‘mamaste’ on the heel strip. When the shoes arrived, I was delighted with the misspelling, and wore them everywhere. People loved them and seemed to intuit immediately what Mamaste meant, wondering where they could buy a pair for themselves. After tweaking the name slightly to make it uniquely our own, we created Mammaste, LLC. The company was paused in 2023, but the stories and the blog live on.
Since that serendipitous spelling error, for over ten years, Mammaste evolved into a company that through its message, products and philanthropy promoted loving the whole world with a mother’s heart and reminded us to see divinity in ourselves and others, every day. Mammaste offered inspirational products that reminded us to see divinity all around us–every day. A meaningful percent of all Mammaste profits went to Women for Women International, and organization that lifts up women survivors of conflict and offers them hope for a better future.
Mammaste was not affiliated with any particular religion. We believed, as Rumi said; “In every religion there is love, yet love has no religion.” The messages written on Mammaste products resonated unconditional love, rippling it out into the world. A love we believed and still believe, can change the world. After all, Mammaste is all about the love, baby.
A meaningful percentage of our profits supported organizations that serve those in need. As I did then and still do now we supported the non-profit organization, Women for Women International. Women for Women International helps women in conflict-torn regions with financial and emotional aid, job-skills training, rights education and small business assistance so they can rebuild their lives.
Because the intention with which Mammaste products were created was as important to us as the products themselves, every Mammaste garment was lightly stamped on the inside with a loving intention. Not visible from the outside, the sentiment of love, joy, peace or grace was meant as a gift from Mammaste to you!
Mammaste, there really is so much divinity in the everyday.

mammaste ~ divinity in the everyday 
Lookin’ good 5th Ave.! I am anxious to see/read more. I recently read a book Linda M/E suggested. “The Girls From Ames” and it dealt with long term womens’ friendships. It made me think of how close we were back in the day. Those crazy 70’s!
I recently did some work with the bear Goddess Artio. Your Targette encounter was a mother-bear moment for sure! Look sharp if you dare to mess with those in her care.
I’ve subscribed to see when updates are made, so will keep on the lookout for news.
Congratulations on birthing a new adventure Lori! May all the power and positive energy you need to achieve your goal be with you now.
Blessings, Cindy
Thanks Cindy! Hope you will look me up each time you are in the cities. I’d love to get together.
Oh my goodness….I love your blog! I have Namaste tattooed on my arm (in Sanskrit) and a couple of Om symbols here and there :). I love that your daughter misheard you and Mamaste was born. Great messages here….I need to poke around some :). Hope to connect with you in person some day!
Thank you Jen! You never know, we may have already met, and we just don’t know it yet! It’s happened to me before. 😉
I love this! I look forward to following you here!
Thank you!
