Our story
Our current health system has let birthing parents down. My firsthand experience in healthcare consulting and as a health-tech startup executive has highlighted the system's inadequacies and revealed a pressing need for change. The gap in immediate postpartum care post birth, often delayed up to six weeks, motivated me to found Cradle & Coos. My goal is clear: to establish Cradle & Coos as a haven where individuals could access the continuous, compassionate support essential to their well-being post childbirth.
At Cradle & Coos, we are dedicated to transforming the journey of starting a family into a seamless and joyful experience for all expectant individuals and parents. Inspired by the ancient holistic care practices for birthing parents from cultures around the world—including Latin America's "cuarentena," China's "zuo yue zi," and Nigeria's "omugwo"—Cradle & Coos aims to enhance the quality of post-birth care for everyone.
We believe it takes a village, and Cradle & Coos is committed to easing the process of carefully assembling that village for you. Our service is designed to make pregnancy and postpartum care highly accessible and individually tailored, ensuring an empowering and affirming journey from pregnancy to the early days of bringing a new life into the world.
By integrating the heartfelt care of experts with the convenience of today's technology—such as price transparency, 24/7 customer service support, and ease of booking and payment—Cradle & Coos offers a solution as straightforward as online shopping. Our user-friendly platform and clear pricing eliminate the stress and guesswork often associated with seeking pregnancy and postpartum care.
Our rigorous selection process ensures that only the most qualified doulas, lactation consultants, parental counselors and other professionals are part of our team. We carefully align their specialized expertise with the unique needs and preferences of each parent, assuring a personalized and compassionate journey from the expectant stages of pregnancy to the fulfilling moments of early parenthood.
Cradle & Coos offers a sanctuary where every expectant parent is truly listened to, thoroughly prepared, and deeply supported. Our mission is to empower and inspire each family, enabling them to craft their own unique and beautiful birth stories.
