Mothers and Families

The best possible
beginning.

A pregnancy spent at HOME is unlike anything else available anywhere. Not a clinic. Not a retreat. A living community — full of warmth, creativity, nourishment, and daily rhythm — in which a mother and her partner can build the strongest possible foundation for the family they are becoming.

The offer

For couples who want everything
to be as good as it can possibly be.

The ideal guest is a couple — two people who understand that the conditions in which a child arrives shape everything that follows. The quality of the mother's experience during pregnancy, the depth of the father's preparation, the health of the relationship between them — all of this becomes the invisible architecture of a family's life.

HOME provides an environment of extraordinary calm, joy, meaning, and learning for the whole duration of a pregnancy — and up to three months after delivery. Mothers are welcome to come alone, but the vision is always for the family. Children need both parents. A strong family begins with a strong beginning.

Partners who work remotely — creatives, online entrepreneurs, writers, makers, thinkers — will find that HOME offers not just a place to be, but a platform for some of the best work of their lives.

What the stay includes

A complete environment for the whole family.

Birth doula care
A dedicated midwife-led doula team supporting the mother through the full arc of pregnancy — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Preparation for natural delivery. Coaching in every aspect of early parenting. The finest birth preparation available anywhere.
Nourishment
Three daily meals from the living kitchen — GAPS-inspired, seasonal, fermented, extraordinary. Everything a growing baby and a nourishing mother needs. Bone broths, garden produce, raw dairy, fermented foods. Food as medicine, prepared with love.
Daily rhythm
Dawn sun gazing, morning movement and meditation, communal meals, creative afternoons, evening gatherings. A rhythm designed to produce the conditions of calm, vitality, and presence that make for the healthiest possible pregnancy.
Community life
Full participation in the life of HOME — ceremonies, music, storytelling, the land, the studios, the conversations. A child conceived and carried inside a living community arrives already acquainted with the sound of human togetherness.
Partner support
The community provides space and support for partners to deepen their own preparation for parenthood — understanding birth, bonding, the demands and gifts of early family life. Two people leave HOME more prepared, more connected, and more ready than they could have become alone.
Post-natal stay
Up to three months after delivery, the family remains in community — the mother recovering, the baby growing, the parents learning together how to inhabit this new life. Going home is not an ending. It is a beginning, properly prepared for.
Arrival and departure

Nobody arrives unwitnessed. Nobody leaves unmarked.

Every person who comes to HOME is welcomed with a ceremony — a formal, warm, and genuinely felt acknowledgement of the threshold they are crossing. Whatever brought you here, your arrival is treated as significant. Because it is.

And when the time comes to leave, there is a departure ceremony too — a moment of reflection, gratitude, and marking. You will leave knowing that something has changed. The ceremony makes that change conscious, and carries it with you back into the world.

The length of stay

From a few weeks to a full year.

Some couples come for the final trimester. Others arrive at the beginning of pregnancy and stay through the first months of the baby's life — up to a year in total. The longer the stay, the deeper the transformation. The community becomes family. The child is born into something remarkable.

Many families who come for the birth find themselves unwilling to leave entirely. The buy-to-belong option exists for those who want to secure their connection to HOME for the long term.

"A child whose life begins inside genuine community arrives already knowing what belonging feels like."

Places for birth residencies are extremely limited. If you are expecting, or planning to be, we would love to hear from you as early as possible.
