WHEN A BABY IS BORN,
A MOTHER IS BORN
And she deserves care, too.the well mother method
the new standard for postpartum recoveryFrom hands-on support in the fourth trimester to advanced functional testing, Wellmother helps you rest, restore, and rebuild stronger.
THE REBUILDING
THE REBUILDING
rebuilding you stronger — from the inside out.
OUR WHY
80% of mothers experience postnatal depletion—nutrient loss, hormonal shifts, and nervous-system stress that standard six-week checkups overlook. When untreated, these imbalances can lead to mental health misdiagnoses, and long-term symptoms.
The Well Mother Method closes that gap with a two-phase approach:
1. Immediate recovery support to stabilize rest, nourishment, and rhythm.
2. Comprehensive rebuilding using lab testing to understand hormones, gut health, and micronutrient status.

MEET OUR SPECIALTY SERVICE
NICU Family Support
Because postpartum looks different when your baby is in the NICU.
After my own unplanned 27-day NICU experience, I saw how little care exists for parents during that time.
Our NICU Family Support offers trauma-informed, practical help — from in-home care and meal prep to milk transport and hospital companionship.
For families walking through the NICU or friends who want to gift real support, we’re here to help. Local to the Wilmington, NC area.
Meet the woman behind WellmotherMARISA
SWITZER
Founder, dona-trained Postpartum Doula, and Future FDN-PAfter my own difficult recovery, I realized how broken our postpartum system is — and how little long-term care mothers receive once they leave the hospital.
I started Wellmother to change that: to provide mothers with the care, education, and nourishment needed to heal deeply, not just physically.
My unique combination of Postpartum Doula training and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner training brings together the worlds of compassionate care and root-cause healing.
This is the care I wish every mother had — holistic, evidence-based, and designed to rebuild you stronger than before.
MY SERVICES
Whether you need hands-on support in those first few weeks, or meal prep and nourishment guidance as you heal, we’ll tailor your care to meet you where you are.
