About

Welcome to Namasaij, a community dedicated to supporting women in their postpartum journey. Our mission is to provide women with the resources they need to heal their bodies, nurture their minds, and embrace the transformative experience of motherhood.

Motherhood is a profound gift, but it can also bring physical and emotional challenges. We believe that pregnancy and childbirth can be forms of trauma, and we're committed to addressing the gaps in care and support that many women face after giving birth. According to research, a staggering 98.4% of women give birth in hospitals, often receiving impersonal and rotating care. Shockingly, Black women are four times more likely to face life-threatening complications during childbirth due to inadequate care or a lack of proper insurance. Additionally, approximately 50% of new mothers experience postpartum depression. Namasaij is here to offer alternative resources for women both before and after childbirth to help create a smoother transition into motherhood.

All too often, women enter childbirth and motherhood without sufficient preparation, relying on societal portrayals of this profound life transition. Topics like creating a birth plan, exploring natural products, considering alternative birthing experiences, postpartum care, and managing emotional well-being are often overshadowed by the more exciting aspects of pregnancy and motherhood. Drawing from personal experience, I found that my prenatal journey improved dramatically when I chose to give birth in a birthing center with a qualified doula and midwife. This decision opened my eyes to numerous ways to find peace during pregnancy and naturally restore my body postpartum. Namasaij is committed to providing the tools, services, and products needed for a healthy and empowering transition into motherhood.

Our journey began with the "Body Body" collection, featuring candles that promote self-love and appreciation for the beautiful changes a woman's body undergoes after childbirth. While our brand primarily focuses on new mothers, many of our products cater to the self-care needs of all women, promoting a holistic approach to well-being.

We are continually working on building our community and expanding our offerings. In the meantime, we invite you to enjoy the products that are currently available in our store.
