Our mission
Our Four Programs
Immediately after birth a woman’s body is nutritionally depleted and often vulnerable from the stresses of birth. It is important to take the time needed to recover and properly heal. What is specialty postpartum care?
This is an at home service for new mothers which includes – delivery of nutritious meals, smoothies and teas, warming treatments, belly binding, emotional support and baby bonding techniques. This healing program helps to balance hormones, induce lactation, uplift spirits and heal the body quicker than it would without these treatments. Having this type of postpartum care can also greatly reduce the onset of postpartum depression. Is this a new kind of healing treatment?
No. This kind of care has always existed for new mothers in most countries around the world. However, the United States is one of the only countries in the world that does not offer postpartum care in its medical model or culture. Because seventy percent of new mothers get the baby blues, and a minimum of thirty five percent get postpartum depression in our country we feel this care should be available and affordable for all new mothers.
Many new mothers do not have a support system in place and feel uncomfortable asking for help from friends and family. Even when women do have an emotional support system, they often do not have a trained healer who can offer holistic postpartum support to help them truly heal after their birth.
