  • Preventative Care

    Our vision for Homb is to inspire a movement, a tidal wave of support for new mothers, highlighting the essential need for support, rest and nourishment in postpartum.

    In this episode of No Place Like Homb, hosts Larissa and Jess discuss the pressure put on women to ‘bounce back’ after giving birth as well as what little currently exists in western culture to combat the persistent numbers of new mothers struggling to navigate symptoms of postnatal depression and anxiety, with the few services that are available focusing on treatment rather than prevention.
    Our hope is to change the narrative, start a conversation and encourage a culture shift that values self care and acknowledges the monumental physical, psychological and emotional changes that occur and the care required for women to thrive in the journey to motherhood.
