Postnatal Recovery is...

The process of reconnecting with your body, rebuilding strength, and finding confidence after birth.

Like you, we started with curiosity

Hello, and thank you for joining us.

I am Nayol, a nurse, midwife, and mother of two young girls. My journey started in neonatal intensive care, then community midwifery, where I witnessed firsthand how deeply new parents need reassurance, rest, and support beyond the baby. Even with the best care, postnatal support so often ends too soon.

But it wasn’t until I became a mother myself that I truly understood this reality. Despite two healthy births, I found myself quietly wondering why my body still felt broken months after giving birth and faced ongoing health challenges for years before finding a recovery path that worked for me. I now see how much feeling well in myself shapes the wellbeing of my family.

From that journey, BodyOwn emerges as a practical and compassionate space where every woman’s recovery is personal, supported, and celebrated.
