During your second trimester, your journey to motherhood is in full swing. By now, you’ve likely gotten into the rhythm of preparing for your baby—whether it’s planning your nursery, attending prenatal appointments, or exploring birthing classes.

Both the Korean and Chinese diasporas cherish deep-seated traditions surrounding postpartum care, known as “sanhujori” and “zuo yue zi” respectively. These practices offer critical support and comfort to mothers during a vulnerable time. Recognizing the importance of these traditions, Sanu’s founder, Julia Kim, collaborated with Dr. Kristal Lau, a public health expert and renowned author on postpartum care, to create a program that honors these cultural rituals while incorporating modern medical insights.
