A safety net woven over centuries.

So often, American birth parents are saddled with the impossible: caring for themself, a new human and getting back to “normal” as soon as possible.

In a society lacking the structures to balance it all, we’re reframing the fourth trimester through the lens of sanhujori. This traditional method of South Korean postpartum care emphasizes rest and replenishment for mom and baby.

Why Kae

More than a night nanny or doula, our emonims elevate care as an art form – cooking nourishing meals, tending to your body, caring for your baby and providing the space and support you need to adjust during this beautifully complicated time.

Kae was born out of a deep compassion for new moms and seeing a critical gap in the kind of postpartum care available stateside. We want you to be held, instead of holding the weight of postpartum alone.
