PERINATAL EDUCATION & CONSULTING
Most mothers prepare for birth. Almost none prepare for after.
We educate mothers and equip healthcare organizations to close the gaps in perinatal care, from the delivery room through the first year.
FOR MOTHERS
I’m expecting or postpartum
Private, evidence-informed sessions to prepare for birth and what comes after.
FOR PROVIDERS & ORGANIZATIONS

Staff education, patient resources and consulting for hospitals, practices and residencies.
37.8%
occurred 43–365 days postpartum, after most formal care has ended.
Pregnancy & delivery day 32.1%

67.9%
of pregnancy-related deaths occurred day 1 - day 365 after delivery, during a period when structured clinical monitoring largely ends.
9.5%
occurred 1–6 days postpartum, during one of the earliest and most vulnerable stages of recovery.
The Critical Periods of Maternal Health
Care ends at six weeks. Risk doesn’t.
CDC data shows that most pregnancy-related deaths occur after delivery. 80% of these deaths were determined to be preventable.

How we close the gap
Education and continuity of care are among the most meaningful ways to close those gaps. We work on both sides: what mothers know, and what care systems deliver.
