Our Mission
Our mission is to revolutionize postpartum care by bridging the gap between families and practitioners in one central location. We aim to make holistic, compassionate, and personalized postpartum care accessible to all families.
In addition, we strive to create a thriving community for practitioners to grow and connect, reshaping the postpartum experience so that no family struggles to find support.
Our Philosophy
- We believe postpartum care is a sacred calling that deserves recognition and reverence in our society. This directory embodies our commitment to making postpartum support an open-access resource, freely available to all individuals and families.
- We aim to amplify the voices of postpartum practitioners, ensuring their invaluable work reaches even those who may not have access to traditional marketing or social media.
- Our vision is to honor our roots as humans, nurturing one another through the beautiful yet challenging transitions of parenthood.
Our Values
- Compassion: We emphasize empathetic care that nurtures healing and connection during the postpartum period.
- Expertise: We are committed to building a central online directory of postpartum practitioners from diverse backgrounds, ensuring families have access to a wide range of essential knowledge and skills. Every listing is screened before approval to uphold trust and credibility within our network.
- Community: We believe in fostering connections between practitioners and families, creating a supportive network that uplifts and empowers everyone involved.
- Holistic Care: We honor the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of postpartum, recognizing the need for comprehensive support during this crucial time.
Future Vision
As we grow, we envision this platform becoming a cornerstone of postpartum care in California, starting locally in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties and expanding statewide, nationwide, and globally.
We are passionate about making postpartum care accessible to all families, regardless of financial circumstances. That’s why we will be developing a donor-supported fund to help those in need. Our goal is to create a world where every family receives the care they deserve and every practitioner thrives in their practice.
Join us on this journey and become part of a community dedicated to transforming postpartum care for generations to come.
The Meaning Behind Our Logo
The Crescent Moon and Ginkgo Leaf in our logo were chosen with deep intention, reflecting the heart of our mission. The moon represents new beginnings and transformation, mirroring the postpartum journey. The ginkgo, a symbol of strength and longevity, has endured since the time of dinosaurs, honoring the wisdom passed through generations. Together, they remind us that postpartum care is both ancient and evolving, nurturing both families and practitioners.
