Through our postpartum retreats and additional services, we provide the dedicated setting, community, and education to help mothers and parents navigate the crucial first weeks of postpartum and beyond.

Designed to support the transition into parenthood, our retreat offers a peaceful haven in which mothers and partners can focus on what we believe to be the most important in the crucial first weeks: rest, recovery, and bonding. Our goal is to equip parents with the capacity, knowledge, and the village to start their journey with confidence.

We opened our first location in Orange County, CA, in March 2024, at Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach - a seaside, 175-acre resort designed to be a peaceful sanctuary. We encourage you to visit Our Retreat page for more information, take advantage of our resources, and follow us on Instagram for snapshots of our experience.

Ahma, meaning “mother” in various languages, carries a double meaning: it consists of one syllable each from the Korean words for baby and mother, “Ahgi” and “Umma.” Co stands for community – what we believe to be of the utmost importance for a mother’s successful transition into motherhood.  

Ahma & Co embodies our ideal of celebrating baby, mother, and community individually and together, highlighting the synergy that will allow the mother to step into the next chapter of her life with the proper support that she deserves.

At our postnatal retreat, we provide the following services:

1. Recovery Support for Mothers: Your healing and recovery is our priority. Our expert care team will ensure that you are healing properly, you won't have to worry about any chores (we'll handle it!), and nutritious meals will be delivered right to your room.

2. Newborn Care: A loving mother can still ask for help, especially if she's still recovering from labor. Our experienced newborn care experts and lactation educators will guide you in every step of the process to remove the guesswork and assure you that you’re doing the right thing. You're always welcome to room in with your baby, but when you need your rest, our nursery will welcome and take care of your little one.

3. Education & Community: Just as you prepare for your little one’s arrival beforehand, we encourage mothers to prepare for postpartum well in advance of your due date. As you prepare for your transition into motherhood, we will work with you to demystify postpartum, walk you though exactly what to expect, and involve your support system (whether it be your partner, family, or friends) to develop into your best champions for the challenging time. Once you arrive at our retreat, you will also meet a community of other moms in the same exact stage of motherhood as you, so you can lean on them (and on us) for every step of the way.

Our service is designed to be highly personalized, and we become your concierge as soon as you book. To preserve the quality of our experience, we only accept a maximum of 3-5 families at a time, depending on the needs of each family. Each of our staff has a minimum of 3 years to decades of experience in newborn and postpartum care, and have been trained in stringent infection control and hygiene protocols; all are also vaccinated according to regulations.

Absolutely! Although you will have ample support from our experts, we strongly believe that partners should be just as involved in the recovery and transition process. For those able, we encourage them to stay with our mothers and partake in all of our newborn care trainings so that they can feel just as prepared to jump into the baby duties.
