Ever feel like the postpartum care we’re offering falls short of what new moms really need? Maranda chats with Kristin Revere, founder of Gold Coast Doulas, to explore a whole new standard for postpartum support—one that goes beyond baby prep and hospital bags. They’re here to talk about what it means to provide genuinely holistic, personalized care that truly meets each mother’s unique needs and helps her thrive.

If you're a provider looking to build a “postpartum dream team” approach for your clients, Maranda and Kristin break down the essential roles—from doulas and lactation consultants to sleep coaches and meal planners—and why every aspect of support matters. This isn’t just about basic care; it’s about creating a deeply nurturing plan that supports real mental health, physical recovery, and emotional resilience for mothers.
