Welcome to the

Supporting New Mama's Through Postpartum & Beyond

Perhaps nothing more critical to the health of mothers and their growing babies than receiving proper care and support immediately after childbirth. Helping a new mother feel confident in the care she provides to her baby, while adjusting to the physical and emotional changes that occur with motherhood, is a journey that we are passionate to be present for at the Flourishing Mama Co. By taking care of your own health through sufficient rest, self-care, emotional support, you pass the benefits onto your little bundle of joy. We strive to help mama’s meet their goals by providing expert unbiased support and education in the first leg of this beautiful journey.

Nourishing Mama's & Their Babies

Let’s prioritize finding your rhythm while maximizing your rest and bonding time with your new bundle of joy and family! Let’s chat about your goals and how we at the Flourishing Mama Co. can help you achieve each and every one.

Gabby at Flourishing Mama was a lifesaver for overnight care of our newborn twins! From night one she made us feel comfortable and confident in watching our babies. Never once did we wake up in the middle of the night, she made our rest and the babies’ care her priority. After a night with Gabby watching the babies, there was always diapers restocked in the nursery, bottles washed, and laundry folded and put away. Each night with Gabby was like a very welcome “reset” and got us off on the right foot the next morning. We can’t recommend Gabby enough. You can’t go wrong!!

Gabby was with us for four months. She was awesome. I was able to rest without worry knowing my newborn was in Gr8 hands.

Gabriell provided overnight care for my twins from age 0-3 months. She was wonderful! Super caring and patient. She also gave us many tips for our twins in terms of sleep, nap schedules, and feeding. I would hire Gabriell again in an instant. We all miss her still!

The Flourishing Mama Co. saved me. My postpartum recovery journey was tough, and I didn’t realize how much I desperately needed not only sleep, but support, until Gabby came to the rescue. Not only did she take such great care of my daughter while I got some much needed rest, she texted me all day while she wasn’t here, answering all of my questions about baby care and postpartum care. I’m a better mother than I was on day one because of her. Her support was/is invaluable (she still answers my texts even though her time here has come to an end.) Gabby is so knowledgeable, kind, and hardworking. There is no cutting corners with her. She is one of those people that just does things to help you without you even having to ask, which is truly hard to find. I’m incredibly grateful that we found The Flourishing Mama Co. We really miss Gabby and can’t wait to work with her and her team again. Thank you so much, The Flourishing Mama Co.!!
