The Story

The Postpartum Sanctuary Retreat was designed as a space for new mothers to heal following birth. Our goal is to treat mothers to an experience that will help them as they transition into the parenting journey. We recognize the dire need of postpartum healing and care for mothers and would like to be a part of what improves the statistics that show how mothers in this country are not well cared for. We aim to change the narrative so that postpartum can be enjoyable and healing.

At The Postpartum Sanctuary Retreat, mothers will receive round the clock care, assistance with newborn care and the chance to rest, nutritious meals daily, the incorporation of traditional postpartum healing practices such as belly binding, and the use of herbs to aid in recovery.  Our team of postpartum specialists, pelvic floor therapists, and perinatal mental health therapists will equip parents with the knowledge and skills needed to continue healing at home through our interactive classes, support circles, and one-on-one sessions.

A Space to Rest & Recover

Imagine being able to rest and receive round the clock care! The rooms at our retreat are designed for comfort and healing. We want you to leave The Postpartum Sanctuary Retreat refreshed and well-rested!
