WHY WE'RE HERE
After giving birth to my first child, I found myself lost in the very early stages of becoming a mother. I had wonderful support around me but I felt very alone and didn’t want to let on that I wasn’t coping. I found myself in some very dark places with my thoughts and feelings and decided to speak up because I knew I needed help. I was later diagnosed with Postnatal Depression and Anxiety.
All this time I kept thinking to myself “why isn’t there somewhere I can go that I can be cared for and helped with my new baby”. Since then I have made it my mission to create a space that cares for mothers to assist in their own birthing process from maiden to mother and not have anyone else feel the way that I felt after birth.

Homb is a postpartum hotel where mothers are mothered.
Becoming a mother is one of the most profound transformations a person can experience. Every journey is unique, but one thing remains constant: the fundamental need for support and nourishment.
It is our privilege to care for the physical, emotional and psychological needs and wellbeing of women and families from all walks of life—offering support with baby care, rest, recovery, nutrition, sleep and settling, gentle movement, and so much more.
Current studies indicate that up to 1 in 5 women and up to 1 in 10 men will experience anxiety and/or depression in the perinatal period. At Homb, we are committed to reducing instances of postnatal anxiety and depression through holistic care. For too long, postpartum care has been seen as a luxury rather than an essential foundation for long-term mental health and well-being—not just for mothers, but for their families as well.
Our team of care specialists have a wide range of skills and qualifications, including;
Registered nurses, Midwives, IBCLC Lactation Consultants, Naturopath and Nutritionists, Doulas, Birth Trauma Practitioners, Bodyworkers, Night Nannies, Aware Parenting Educators and gentle sleep consultants — all collaborating on the best ways to guide and support our guests through their stay.
