On this week's episode of the Healthy Balanced Birth and Beyond Podcast, I'm chatting with Melissa Bowley! Melissa is the CEO + Founder of the Flourish Collective - which she founded after seeing the need for proper postpartum care for mothers. On today's episode we're chatting about her birth stories and journey into motherhood, how hard it is to find proper postpartum care, and the importance of having a support system. This was such a beautiful conversation about pregnancy, birth, mom life and finding your mama tribe!
Melissa Bowley, Flourish Collective Founder & CEO, started her company with a vision to fill the gap in maternal healthcare and make wellness accessible to all moms. After her first child was born, Melissa struggled to find postpartum support. “Everyone focuses on the well-being of the baby, but I had just been through the wringer giving birth. I was an emotional wreck and had no idea how to care for this new beautiful baby that we brought home. We didn’t have family nearby, so we were on our own. Even with an extremely supportive husband, I felt overwhelmed. As a mom, you tend to put your own health last, and the medical world put my health last once the baby was born,” and I want to change that for mothers,” said Melissa.
