"A luxurious postpartum retreat center, the first of its kind on the West Coast, is coming to San Francisco this summer.

Dubbed the “Village Postnatal Retreat Center,” ... It aims to be a place where mothers can take a few days after birth to unwind from the experience, get pampered, receive support from lactation experts, take newborn care classes and more...."

"This luxury ‘postpartum retreat’ will pamper new moms in S.F. Here’s how it works"

From the San Francisco Chronicle

- Janice
First-time parent

" I was so overwhelmed at the hospital's postpartum ward (the constant interruptions, the firehose of information, and generally feeling like I had been hit by a bus after 30 hours of labor). Arriving to the Village was a haven compared to that experience. It was exactly what I needed in my overwhelmed state. ... I learned so much from the staff and felt so much more confident and more psychologically ready to be a parent when I returned home."

- Sanya,
First-time parent

I cannot express enough how absolutely transformative my experience at The Village Postnatal Retreat in San Francisco was. As first-time parents and after a tough pregnancy, we were incredibly nervous about the transition to parenthood. This retreat was exactly what I needed. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of care and compassion that truly felt like a warm embrace during one of life's most vulnerable times

- Julie,
First-time parent

"As a first-time parent, I did not feel ready to go home after being discharged from the hospital. My time at the retreat center allowed me the chance to truly rest by being able to send our baby to the nursery. Had I gone home directly from the hospital, I would've felt physically exhausted and emotionally nervous. Instead, by the time we left, I felt excited and confident about going home and parenting my baby.

I didn't know what I needed postpartum, but the staff at the retreat center are experts in this life stage and they've thoughtfully designed an experience that meets those needs before you even know to ask for them.

- Kate and Parker
Second Time Parents

"I stayed at the Village Postnatal Retreat Center after I had my second baby. It was nice to be able to relax and bond with my new baby without all the distractions of being at home. The staff took such good care of us while I recovered and got some much needed rest. They even washed and sanitized all my bottles and pump equipment for me. I didn't have to lift a finger and could just focus on bonding with the baby. I am definitely coming back when I have baby #3!!"

- Alice and Matt
First Time Parents

"Such an amazing stay after a difficult birth and challenging first couple of weeks! It was great to just relax and enjoy the amenities at the Fairmont while knowing my baby was well taken care of."

“My husband and I are so grateful that the universe led us to work with Jen. From the very beginning to the absolute end, she was 100% responsive, involved, and supportive. She exudes a warmth, humbleness, and professionalism”
