Maria’s Favorites
Time Tested Client Favorites
After seeing all of my clients using some variation of similar products, I decided it was time to make a list with everything they would need all in one place. There are so many important decisions to make regarding birth and postpartum, and decision fatigue will often set in by the time you need to decide what products are safe and effective.
I have teamed up with women-owned businesses here in Richmond, VA to provide you with everything you and baby need during those early postpartum days.
