When I first became a mum, I was so focused on preparing for my baby that I completely forgot to prepare for me. I realised pretty quickly that postpartum is a season unlike any other: tender and beautiful, but also full of change. It’s a time of deep love, but also of healing, exhaustion, and learning how to navigate an entirely new role.

In those early weeks, my days and nights blurred together with cluster feeding, skin-to-skin contact, and keeping up with all that a newborn baby demands - all the while my body was still healing. I was sleep deprived, recovering from birth with stitches, and pumping around the clock to establish my milk supply. It was in that season that I realised how important it is for mums to be looked after too. Because while we’re selflessly pouring everything into our babies, we need moments that remind us to pause, recover and feel valued.

That’s why I created Haven for Her. It’s about reminding mums that they matter too. Every gift box is designed to create a moment of pause in the whirlwind of early motherhood - a gentle reminder that it’s okay to slow down, to nurture yourself, and to feel celebrated in this season as well.

Every box is my way of saying: I see you, I value you, and you’re doing an incredible job.

With love, Jodel xo
