RN-Led Care, Designed for the Home.

Our care bridges the gap between hospital discharge and long-term wellbeing, offering clinical assessment, education, and calm presence during the most vulnerable weeks after birth.

By intentionally limiting the number of families we support each month, we are able to offer unhurried visits, deeper continuity, and care that is both medically grounded and deeply human.

What Our Clients Are Saying:

  • "My nurse was a light and an anchor in my postpartum. She validated everything that felt heavy, and also helped me to recognize the parts that were going great, because it’s hard to know in that haze. I experienced my second postpartum with a different confidence and ease and a big part of that was because of my nurse's input. She gave me the confidence to do EC with my baby, and she felt way more accessible for medical guidance than my midwives."

    - Leah

  • "I initially hired my nurse for lactation assistance, but she turned out to be so much more! After my preeclampsia diagnosis led to an early induction, our newborn was admitted to the NICU. Throughout this challenging time, my nurse provided remarkable support, helping me navigate through incredibly tough circumstances. Not only did she offer essential lactation advice, but she also became an essential source of emotional support for our family. I wholeheartedly recommend Vivara for mothers looking to alleviate postpartum depression and gain a bit of extra support in their journey through motherhood!"

    - AJ

  • "Our 9 month old has had a couple of cranio and myofacial release sessions with my nurse and we have seen marked improvement in his sleep, tolerance of being on his tummy and with his tummy issues. My nurse makes every session fun, listens to our son’s cues and explains what she is doing. She is willing to try different methods to make it as comfortable as possible while still meeting the goals of the session."

    - Amanda

  • "My nurse made my second postpartum experience so much better than my first! Her holistic approach made me feel valued and empowered, encouraging me to trust my instincts as a mother. Her warm demeanor and practical advice on breastfeeding, self-care, etc., helps create a comforting and supportive environment. Her care has truly enriched my postpartum journey, and I am incredibly grateful for her support."

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Vivara is a specialized postpartum care service dedicated to nurturing new mothers during the early days of motherhood. We provide tailored care packages, including home visits, nutritional support, and lactation assistance, to ensure a smooth transition into parenthood.

    • Active RN licensure in good standing

    • CPR certification
