Building the Village: How The Recovery Method is Changing Postpartum Support
Motherhood is one of the most transformative journeys a woman can experience, yet it often comes with challenges that many new moms are unprepared for. From physical recovery to mental health struggles and navigating infant care, the postpartum period can be overwhelming. That’s why The Recovery Method is on a mission to make support more accessible, ensuring that no mom has to go through it alone.
Creating a Network of Support
Founded by physical therapist Naha Pandya, The Recovery Method is a comprehensive platform designed to connect postpartum moms with expert care providers across various disciplines. This includes physical therapists, occupational therapists, lactation consultants, mental health therapists, doulas, fitness experts, dietitians, holistic providers, and local support groups.
Naha’s passion for postpartum care stems from her own experience. After giving birth, she quickly realized how fragmented and difficult-to-access postpartum resources were. Despite her medical background, she struggled to find the right support, leaving her feeling isolated and overwhelmed. It was this firsthand experience that inspired her to create The Recovery Method—a place where moms could easily find trusted, vetted providers and a supportive community.
Naha and her team have worked hard to find “unicorn providers”—professionals who go beyond their traditional roles to offer holistic, community-focused care. These providers collaborate across specialties to ensure that moms receive the well-rounded support they need.
“As a healthcare provider, I was taught to stay within my scope of practice. But the providers we work with are thinking outside the box. They’re creating networks, building communities, and truly supporting moms in ways that go beyond the standard medical model,” Naha explains.
Why a Village Matters
For centuries, women supported each other in raising children, sharing their knowledge, and offering emotional and physical help. However, in today’s world, many moms find themselves isolated, navigating postpartum challenges alone.
Jessica Lamb, host of The Mama Making Podcast, reflects on this shift:
“We’re slowly inching back to that sense of community. People are recognizing that individualized care is great, but true change happens when providers and moms work together. Seeing these professionals step outside of their specialties to collaborate is incredible."
By bringing together a trusted network of experts, The Recovery Method is helping to rebuild the village that so many moms need.
How the Platform Works
The Recovery Method is a mobile-friendly website that serves both moms and providers. Moms can browse a free database of vetted professionals, while providers can join a membership program that offers networking opportunities, business resources, and access to community events.
Naha is also working on expanding these efforts with in-person events, including a national conference in three major cities this year. The goal? To connect providers across the country so they can learn from each other and better serve postpartum moms.
Beyond the website, The Recovery Method is committed to fostering real-world connections. They regularly host networking events where providers can meet and exchange ideas, creating an even stronger web of support for moms in need. This collaborative approach ensures that postpartum care is not only accessible but also evolving to meet the needs of a diverse population of mothers.
Making It Easy for Moms
One of the biggest barriers to postpartum care is access. Many moms don’t know where to turn for help, and endless online searches can leave them feeling more confused than supported. That’s why The Recovery Method is designed to be simple and straightforward.
“We’re taking the guesswork out of finding quality care,” Naha says. “We don’t want moms scrolling at 3 a.m., overwhelmed by too much information. We want them to have an easy, trusted place to turn.”
To make this process even smoother, The Recovery Method is working on expanding its digital features. Future plans include an interactive map of providers, personalized recommendations based on a mom’s specific needs, and an online forum where both moms and providers can connect in real-time. These additions will enhance the user experience and ensure that every mother can quickly find the support she needs.
How to Get Involved
If you’re a provider interested in joining The Recovery Method, you can apply through their website. The process includes a 15-minute interview and a deep dive into your practice to ensure alignment with their mission.
Moms looking for support can access all the resources for free at www.therecoverymethodinfo.com. You can also follow along on Instagram at @the_recovery_method or connect on LinkedIn.
Jessica sums it up best: “Making it easy for moms is essential. With so many great resources out there, the key is bringing them all under one umbrella. That’s exactly what The Recovery Method is doing, and I can’t wait to see how many families benefit from it.”
Whether you're a new mom in need of support or a provider looking to make a bigger impact, The Recovery Method is here to help build the village—one connection at a time.
TL;DR
The postpartum period can be overwhelming, but The Recovery Method is working to change that. Founded by physical therapist Naha Pandya, this platform connects new moms with expert providers—including therapists, lactation consultants, doulas, and fitness experts—to create a supportive network.
Inspired by Naha’s own struggles postpartum, The Recovery Method aims to make high-quality care accessible and easy to find. Moms can access resources for free, while providers can join a membership program for networking and growth.
