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.

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.
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.
