Changing our cultural understanding of postpartum care and influencing systemic change.
Newborn Mothers will train ten thousand Postpartum Education and Care Professionals, changing the lives of our students, the families we support and the systems we all share.
The birth of Newborn Mothers
Julia began training other professionals in her mothers kitchen in 2012. After being a postpartum doula for five years, Julia was asked to share the ancient postpartum tools and techniques with other birth professionals.
From those seven people gathered around a table of Ayurvedic food, over the next ten years, Julia became well-known for her new paradigm for postpartum transformation. Newborn Mothers built a community of over 1500 postpartum professionals in 60 countries with our world-leading education training for postpartum professionals.
Together we have created a global shift in how women experience the transition to motherhood.
Now Newborn Mothers will train up the next generation of Postpartum Education and Care Professionals, normalising postpartum care as a mainstream career.
