Welcome to Healthy Mother Wellness & Care! We provide holistic but structured wellness programs for would-be mothers and new moms. Our programs and our values facilitate and promote safe and healthy pregnancy, fulfilling, normal childbirth and return-to-fitness based on sound evidence-based research and best practices. Our founders have many years of rich, hands-on experience in core competencies required in this area.

New motherhood, for many women is a time of emotional and physical ups and downs. Today's woman wants to be empowered in order to make informed decisions about her physical and mental well being during and after pregnancy. Our mission is to help women become better informed, prepared and be confident in their bodies' ability to give birth without unnecessary medical intervention. To this end, our programs have been designed based on the internationally acclaimed Lamaze^(R) philosophy, adapted to Indian conditions. Lamaze International and WHO recommendations also stem from and constantly evolve out of evidence-based best practices.

Our prenatal programs help women and their spouses understand childbirth better, give them hands on information about choices they can make, regarding wellbeing and fitness during pregnancy, nutrition, focused breathing techniques, comfort positions during labor and natural ways to minimize pain during labor. We believe low-risk and healthy women should have the ability to resist the pressures of being subject to routine and unnecessary medical interventions at hospitals and have the ability to refuse pain medications (which often slow down labor and have non-trivial side-effects), and ultimately avoid unnecessary C-sections. Our programs create better-informed and confident parents, who have the knowledge and the skills to make appropriate choices regarding childbirth options.

We believe a natural childbirth is an immensely fulfilling process for a new mom. The ability to be alert and eager to hold your baby immediately after birth is highest only in a natural childbirth, when nature's orchestra is in full swing, producing the required hormones that stimulate cholostrum (breastmilk) and other "mothering" instincts. Our postnatal "Mother-Baby Wellness" programs help new moms transition into the next phase of this exciting journey by teaching them how to breastfeed effectively, detect baby's sleep patterns, common-sense techniques to take care of their baby, including a fun-filled "Mother-Baby Excercise Program".

We are based in Hyderabad, India. Please contact us for more information or to learn about registration details for our next program.
