A postpartum wellness community rooted in traditions from around the earth.

A mother is born and the earth shifts.

bearth mother honors the profound transformation that occurs when a woman becomes a mother. A rebirth that reshapes her connection to herself, her child, and the earth beneath her feet. The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. The narrow, modern view of postpartum derives from capitalist pressure and "bounce back" culture. There's a huge loss of wisdom that once honored the long-term nature of this integral transition. How we hold mothers is how we hold the earth. This community aims to get back to the deep rooted knowing that we go further when we feel supported.

Hi, I’m Katie McGinley!

A working mom, certified postpartum doula, previous founder of San Diego’s first postpartum retreat Post Pamper, and someone who is deeply passionate about supporting new moms as part of my personal mission. The postpartum period is regarded as a critical time to set the stage for long-term health and often neglected. Integrating holistic wellness and making it more accessible is why I created bearth mother. A postpartum wellness community rooted in traditions from around the earth. A way to nurture deeper healing for ourselves, our children, and our communities. Sharing my learnings with creative expression while connecting with others is my highest excitement!  My dream is to continue to shift broader societal conversations towards the deep knowing that we go further when we feel supported. The narrow, modern view of postpartum comes from capitalist pressure with a huge loss of wisdom that once honored the long-term nature of this integral transition. I believe how we hold mothers is how we hold the earth. Welcome to the family!
