Exists

From our Founder, Sophie

Elstori didn’t start as an idea- it started as a need. And to the mother who's going through postpartum right now, I see you.

When I delivered my twins (a boy and a girl), my son was immediately hospitalized for an open heart surgery and a 41 day NICU stay. I was holding it together the whole time, trying to be everything to everyone. As he finally came home, the postpartum hit me like a ton of bricks- for a 15 month period, it was the deepest, darkest time of my entire life. When I finally came out the other side, I knew that I never wanted another mother to experience what I went through.  The overnight identity shift. The exhaustion. The anxiety.  The grief over the life I didn't have any more.  And all of it with fragmented support I had to find on my own.

I knew I wasn't even close to being the only one feeling this way,
and I also knew something had to fundamentally change.

For years, we’ve all heard the same things:

“I felt abandoned in postpartum.”
“Why doesn’t anyone talk about this?”
“Where is the help we’re supposed to have?”

So I built what I wish had existed.

A safe place for a mom to receive guidance, emotional
support, resources, and community.

Elstori is designed to be the kind of support every mother deserves- one that meets you where you are, understands what you're going through, and helps you feel like yourself again.

Because you shouldn’t have to choose between caring for
your baby and caring for yourself.

This is where your story, your Elstori, can truly begin.

postpartum doula, and postpartum mental health specialist and coach,
 each bringing a unique and essential perspective on what mothers need most.
