Most mothers prepare for birth.
Almost none prepare for after.
Preparing mothers and equipping healthcare organizations to close the gaps in perinatal care.
For Mothers
Most women enter birth with a hospital bag packed and a playlist ready. What they often don’t have is a clear understanding of the decisions they may face, how to communicate their preferences, or what postpartum recovery actually looks like. That’s what these sessions are for: one-on-one education covering birth preparation, hospital advocacy, postpartum mental health, warning signs, and support planning.
For Providers & Organizations
How We Create Change
The Critical Periods of Maternal Health
CDC data shows that most pregnancy-related deaths occur after delivery, exposing critical gaps in postpartum monitoring, education, and continuity of care.
Education and continuity of care are among the most meaningful opportunities to improve maternal outcomes and patient experience.
67.9%
of pregnancy-related deaths occurred after the day of delivery, during a period when structured clinical monitoring largely ends.
80%
of pregnancy-related deaths were determined to be preventable.
9.5%
occurred 1–6 days postpartum, during one of the earliest and most vulnerable stages of recovery.
37.8%
occurred 43–365 days postpartum, after most formal care has ended.
Current Initiatives
The Alchemy of Motherhood Book
The Alchemy of Motherhood examines the structural failures of postpartum care, through lived experience, medical research, and the voices of women the system failed. It is part memoir, part investigation, and part call to action. Published by Cynren Press. Available wherever books are sold.
One Residency at a Time
Our program, One Residency at a Time (ORT), complements that foundation by bringing evidence-informed patient narratives into residency education. By helping future clinicians better understand the lived patient experience, ORT aims to foster compassionate, patient-centered care while exploring opportunities to reduce preventable contributors to birth trauma and improve postpartum outcome.
Meet the Founder
Perinatal Education & Advocacy was founded after Casey's own postpartum experience revealed the gap between what mothers are told and what they actually face. Today, the organization partners with mothers, healthcare professionals, and healthcare organizations to strengthen maternal education and improve patient care.
