IN-HOME POSTPARTUM WHOLE PERSON CARE · CENTERED ON YOU
You brought your baby home.
Someone should be checking on you, too.
Personalized whole person care in your own home—for your physical recovery, emotional well-being, relationships, and the daily reality of becoming a mother.
Care shaped by fifteen years of experience in healthcare and advocacy, graduate nursing education, and life as a mother of two.
Come as you are—mesh undies and all.
The radical concept
Pregnancy gets appointments. Birth gets a team. And the person who actually had the baby can become remarkably easy to lose track of.
Meanwhile: healing, feeding, hormones, sleep deprivation, and a tiny new CEO with absolutely no respect for business hours.
Whole person care makes room for all of it: your body, your emotional health, your relationships, your support system, and what matters to you.
You do not have to Google
your way through this alone.
This care complements your obstetric or midwifery care. Specialist assessment, diagnosis, prescribing, and infant medical care remain with the appropriate licensed provider.
Why Afterward exists
Three generations of my family.
A reason to do things differently.
After my grandmother gave birth, her new baby was immediately taken out of the room to be cared for, while she was left alone in the room with a fan placed between her legs for pain management.
My mom never had urinary incontinence. She believed — because it was simply what everyone knew — that it was a normal part of life after childbirth, something you just lived with. No one had ever told her pelvic floor physical therapy existed. She heard about it from me, decades later.
Different generations. Different experiences. But both make me ask the same question: who was making sure the person who gave birth was cared for, too?
Then it was my turn. At my own postpartum visit, something felt wrong — and I was told I looked fine. Nobody checked. So I did the system’s job myself: I named what I suspected, prolapse, and asked for the pelvic floor referral no one had mentioned. I was right. I had prolapse.
Fifteen years in healthcare. A doctorate in nursing practice. And I still had to diagnose myself and fight for the referral. If that’s what it took for me, what chance does a first-time mom have — alone with Google at 3am?
I want pelvic floor physical therapy to be part of every person's postpartum care plan, with support tailored to their needs. No one should have to know the right words to discover that support exists.
Postpartum care has improved. I want to honor that progress and be honest about how far we still have to go. Questions about our bodies, our emotional health, and where to turn can still be left for us to figure out when we are exhausted and healing.
Afterward grew from wanting a different experience for the next parent: someone who comes to your home, listens, explains your options, and helps you get the support you deserve.
This time can be incredibly tender and absolutely overwhelming—sometimes in the same hour. You deserve care through all of it.
What that care can look likeThe 42-Day Experience
What you need on day four may be completely different from what you need in week three. This is continuity through the first 42 days after birth, with room for your recovery to change.

A house rule
“Please don't clean your house for me.
You just made a human.
The dishes can absolutely wait.”
Wear the adult diaper. Have a Haakaa on one boob and a lactation cookie in the other hand.
You do not have to make postpartum look pretty for me.
Meet Samantha Bohn
RN, BSN, MN in Nursing Education, DNP.
I'm a registered nurse, educator, and mother of two, with a master's in nursing education, a doctorate in nursing practice, and fifteen years of experience rooted in health advocacy, education, and empowerment. My background includes oncology and palliative care, reproductive and community-health education, international volunteer nursing, and disability care and advocacy.
The thread through all of it is simple: listen, tell people the truth, teach them what they need to know, and find out what matters to them.
Then I became a mother, and I needed the same listening, education, and advocacy I had spent years offering others. As a healthcare professional with fifteen years of experience, if this was hard for me to navigate, I couldn't imagine where someone without that background would even begin.
That is why Afterward exists: so the person recovering from birth has someone coming to her, listening in her own space, and helping her take the next step.
The vision
Postpartum care where someone comes to the mother before she has to fight to be seen.

Fair questions, straight answers
No tidying. No performing “fine.” Just space to talk honestly about what life after birth actually feels like.
Getting ready to welcome youThe practice is preparing to open. You can explore your options and save a care plan now; final booking details will be added when appointments open.
I come to your house. We talk about how you're healing, how feeding feels for you, how you're sleeping (or not), and how you're feeling—honestly. We look at your recovery, emotional well-being, support system, and what matters most to you.
I bring assessment, education, screening, advocacy, and practical next steps together. When something needs a different provider or specialist, I help you find the next step. You do not need a clean kitchen or a carefully organized list of questions.
No. “Something feels hard and I don't know where to start” is plenty. The planner can help you name a starting point, and your care plan can evolve.
Yes. The 42-Day Experience can begin after birth. The optional prenatal pair includes one home visit and one virtual visit; declining it means a lower package price.
Contact your OB, midwife, or other treating clinician for a medical concern that needs attention. For an emergency, call 911. Do not wait for an Afterward visit or a message reply.
For routine questions, the 42-Day Experience includes a follow-up and communication plan agreed before care begins, with clear response times and boundaries.
This care sits alongside your medical care. My background combines registered nursing, a master's in nursing education, a doctorate in nursing practice, and fifteen years of healthcare experience. Your obstetric or midwifery team continues to manage your medical treatment; Afterward brings education, support, advocacy, and care navigation into your home.
