MEET THE MOTHERS of the HIVE
At The Mothers Hive, we are a collective of three devoted mamas offering holistic postpartum doula services to support mothers as they integrate their birth journey, heal physically, and replenish deeply.
We believe that mothers deserve full-spectrum care, far beyond what traditional postpartum support often provides. While most doulas are trained primarily in physiology, our Postpartum Practitioners bring a much broader, holistic approach. We are trained in Ayurveda, psychology, spiritual healing modalities such as sound and energy healing, nervous system regulation, childhood brain development, and family systems—because we understand that birth transforms every aspect of life.
Our mission is to bridge the gaps in birth work by offering a level of care that nurtures not just the body, but also the mind and spirit. As mothers ourselves, we are deeply attuned to what a new mama truly needs after giving birth, ensuring she feels held, nourished, and fully supported in this sacred transition. When mothers thrive, families thrive—and that is the heart of our work.
OUR STORY
The seed for The Mothers Hive was planted in May 2020, after the birth of my first child—a birth that unfolded wildly different from what I had envisioned. I had dreamed of a natural homebirth, but after three days of heroic laboring at home, I transferred to the hospital. The birth itself was only the beginning of a journey that tested me in ways I never expected.
Navigating postpartum during the peak of the pandemic, isolated from community and support, was one of the hardest experiences of my life. I yearned for sisterhood, nourishment, and the kind of care that every mother deserves. It was during this raw and vulnerable time that my eyes were opened to the dire need for holistic postpartum care—not just for mothers, but for their babies and families too. I also came to a shocking realization—midwives and doulas had little to no training in mental health, and there were no dedicated postpartum therapists to help new mothers navigate the emotional, psychological, and identity shifts of motherhood.
Before becoming a mother, I worked as a therapist in psychedelic-assisted therapy, helping women heal from sexual trauma. But through my own experience, I had an awakening—birth is the ultimate psychedelic experience, and postpartum is the critical window for integration. This realization shifted the course of my life, leading me to train as a birth and postpartum doula, and ultimately to create The Mothers Hive—a space where mothers receive the deep, holistic care they need to heal, replenish, and thrive.
From my own transformation, The Mothers Hive was born—a collective of mamas dedicated to bridging the gaps in postpartum care and creating the nurturing village every mother deserves.
Our Mission and Why it Matters
At The Mothers Hive, we are dedicated to ensuring that mothers are honored, supported, and celebrated in the sacred postpartum window—so they can fully integrate the REBIRTH OF SELF that unfolds with motherhood. In a world that pressures women to “bounce back” after birth, too many mothers feel unseen, depleted, and left to navigate postpartum alone. We reject this outdated narrative. Instead, we believe that mothers deserve deep nourishment, reverence, and a village of care during this transformative time.
Because the way we treat mothers is a reflection of how we treat the Earth. When mothers are whole, families thrive, communities flourish, and the world heals. Through nourishment, community, and holistic healing, The Mothers Hive is restoring the ancient wisdom of postpartum care, creating a sanctuary where mothers can truly thrive—because when we heal the mother, we heal the Earth.
Thank you for choosing to share your journey in motherhood with us. Together, let’s create a world where mothers are truly honored and cherished! 🌟
