Why Healthcare Professionals and Industry Leaders Like You Are Turning to Postpartum Wellness Coaching
Postpartum wellness coaching is not a replacement for medical care. It simply optimises patient and client outcomes and provides a structured framework for holistic, mother-centered, whole-family postpartum care.
Professional maternal, paternal, and family caregivers and services are now moving in the direction of postpartum wellness coaching to:
Strengthen Patient & Customer Satisfaction & Engagement
Most mothers, fathers, and parents enter the postpartum period unprepared for the challenges ahead.
From physical healing and sleep issues to nutrition and emotional well-being, they need more structured support than a single postpartum checkup would provide.
A mother's birth story and present needs often determine the personalized postpartum plans she gets. This includes the father and non-birthing parent!
For medical professionals and industry leaders like yourself, postpartum wellness coaching will:
"Dr. Lau has shown that she looks holistically at the patient’s situation, and I have observed that she strives to balance best patient outcomes with the fiscal imperatives that are present in most health systems in the current time.”
— Donna Curro, Social Worker, Townsville Hospital, Australia
Bridge the gap between evidence-based information & cultural postpartum practices
Western medicine offers necessary life-saving postpartum care but often neglects cultural and emotional aspects of recovery that have supported mothers for centuries.
Through postpartum wellness coaching, you’ll learn how to incorporate both evidence-based strategies and cultural postpartum practices into your care model, for a balanced, adaptable approach that resonates with a diverse patient and customer population.
“There’s a gap there that Western medicine did not fill, where once the baby is out, you’re on your own. Making this kind of knowledge accessible is a great idea!”
— Denise Li, Asian Hustle Network Member
Strengthen Your professional network & multi-disciplinary collaborations
Postpartum recovery requires more than a single provider, it takes a network of specialists, including OB/GYNs, midwives, nurses, family doctors, physical therapists, pediatricians, sleep experts, nutritionists, mental health professionals, and traditional medicine practitioners.
Also, online programs offer an affordable and accessible option for postpartum wellness coaching.
Dr. Kristal Lau’s collaborative approach connects healthcare providers, wellness professionals, and industry leaders to create multi-disciplinary postpartum wellness programs. Current collaborations include:
- American Sleep Clinic, Frankfurt, Germany
- Belgian Lifestyle Medicine Organization (BELMO), Belgium
- Flower Moon Clinic, Singapore

“Dr. Lau is an outstanding teacher. This is my personal opinion, but truly—her energy and passion for her subject are remarkable. Her way of explaining things was clear, concise, and light, making it so easy to follow.”
— Victoria Pena Acuna, Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist, Belgium; MSc of Lifestyle Medicine Student, University of Thessaly, Greece

A mother-centered, family-focused, multi-disciplinary field;

And provide personalised postpartum care, education, and other necessary support for mothers, fathers, and their families;
Starting after childbirth up to 24 months later and consists of harmonizing evidence-based practices with cultural practices and different lifestyles;
