Description

Alma Care Premium Postnatal Services

Alma Care is on a mission to revolutionize postpartum care for Canadians. We offer premium postnatal services for optimal recovery and lasting family wellness. We operate a Postnatal Retreat in Yorkville, Toronto and offer at home services across the GTA.

After giving birth, parents come to stay at our all-inclusive hotel with their newborn, or have our team members bring the Alma Care experience home with them. We provide access to 24/7 care, nourishing food, education, lactation consulting, night nurses, workshops, spa services and more. We take care of mom so that she can be her best self to take care of her baby. This concept is novel in North America but a common practice in countries such as South Korea, China and Israel.
