Everyone talks about the pregnancy and the birth, but what happens after? We've always known that the transition into motherhood is challenging - and yet, mothers are still sent home from the hospital just a few days after giving birth, expected to prioritize the care of their little one while managing recovery. Ahma & Co was founded to solve this issue, by providing high quality postpartum recovery care, curated community support, and research-backed education. Founded by women of Asian descent, Ahma & Co brings the holistic approach of Korean postnatal care to the American market. We aim to promote and preserve the long-term wellbeing of both mother and baby - because the babies are important, but so are the mothers. Join our revolution in postnatal care. Visit our website to learn more, or book a stay for our opening on March 15.

New Feature! Learn more about the current state of postnatal care in the U.S., as well as our mission to move toward the Korean model where postnatal care is recognized as a necessity -- and treated as such with subsidies that make care more accessible. Thank you TIME and Eliana Dockterman for including Ahma & Co in the story.
New Feature! “People are now expected to go home and know what to do with a newborn, how to breastfeed and how to recognize signs and symptoms of complications within themselves. And when people have these experiences, they may not know who to call.” - Laurie Zephyrin While postnatal retreats may be new to the U.S., it has long been treated as a trusted care model and rite of passage for new mothers in Asia. We're looking forward to a similar future in the U.S., and are excited to witness many retreats popping up across the major cities! Thank you Kelsey Butler @ Bloomberg News for this feature.

New Feature! What happens to mothers when the baby arrives? In our journey to build a new model for postpartum care, we spoke to countless women who shared that they often felt forgotten; they were prioritizing the care of their newborn, even as they were still managing their own recovery. Postpartum retreats offer the dedicated space, time, and expert support for mothers to focus on their recovery, and parents the resources and education to transition successfully and confidently. Babies are important, but so are mothers - so, let's care for them both. Thank you for featuring Ahma & Co! Well+Good & Erica Sloan
New Feature! Many people are surprised to hear that in South Korea, the usage rate for a postpartum retreat is 80%. Due to the novelty of the concept in the U.S., postpartum retreats can be considered expensive; but round-the-clock expert care and support in the first weeks are a "luxury" that every mother deserves. A huge thank you to Devan McGuinness & POPSUGAR for this feature.
New Feature! A huge thank you to Sara Friedman and The Hustle for highlighting the rise of postnatal retreats in the U.S. Looking forward to a future in which postpartum care isn't treated as a "nice-to-have" or an afterthought, but as an established norm in comprehensive maternal care.
