Why We Exist
Perinatal wellness plays a role in lifelong health
Physical and psychological wellness during the perinatal period is critical for the long term health of both parent and baby. The first year of an infant’s life is foundational for setting up a positive developmental trajectory. For parents, recovery from birth has lifelong implications for emotional wellness and disease prevention.
Yet currently, parents and babies do not have equitable access to wellness during the perinatal period...
We are in a crisis:
preventable deaths of parents and babies are increasing postpartum is synonymous with depression human milk is inaccessible to most humans
...and Black birthing people and babies face the worst of these injustices
These challenges are big, but we believe there are solutions.
These solutions don't just support healthy babies, they transform societies
