Boram Nam struggled with difficult postpartum experiences after the birth of her two children, acknowledging that she likely faced postpartum depression. Her challenges contrasted sharply with her friends in Korea, who benefited from established postpartum retreats offering support, meals, and childcare. This disparity in support motivated Boram to found a postpartum retreat, later shifting focus to home care, aiming to provide new mothers with the resources and attention she felt were missing during her own postpartum period.
The postpartum experiences of new moms can vary significantly across cultures, with many Korean mothers receiving dedicated care during the crucial early months.
Having a support system, like a postpartum retreat, can help new mothers recover both physically and mentally, which is often lacking in Western cultures.
