Remaining Whole
Launching in August 2026, Mai Wellness is pleased to announce the Remaining Whole program. Feel free to read some information about the program. Information about enrollment will be updated July 1, 2026.
You gave everything
to bring your baby here.
Now let us give
something back to you.
The postpartum period is one of the most profound transitions of a woman's life — and one of the least supported. Remaining Whole is a postpartum program designed around a simple belief: that a new mother deserves to be held, not just handed resources. That recovery is not a solo endeavor. That you can be a devoted mother and still remain, fully, yourself.
If you are in the fourth trimester right now, you may recognize some of this:
- You are exhausted in a way that sleep alone cannot fix
- You love your baby and also feel like a stranger in your own life
- Everyone keeps asking how the baby is doing — almost no one asks how you are
- You're not sure if what you're feeling is normal, or something more
- You feel guilty for struggling when you're supposed to feel grateful
- Some days you're not sure where the old version of you went
You are not failing at motherhood. You are navigating one of the hardest transitions a human being can experience — with very little sleep, a body that has just done something extraordinary, and a culture that expects you to bounce back. Remaining Whole exists because you deserve more than that.
The program
An integrated approach to postpartum care
Remaining Whole brings together three essential dimensions of postpartum wellbeing — mental health, movement, and nutrition — into one coordinated, collaborative program. Rather than navigating each of these separately, with different providers who don't communicate, you receive integrated support from a team that works together with you and for you.
The program combines individual therapy sessions with group support, movement guidance designed specifically for the postpartum body, and nutritional support that understands the real demands of new motherhood. Each pillar informs the others. Nothing happens in isolation.
Pillar One
Mental Health & Therapy
Individual therapy and group support providing a consistent, safe space to process the emotional complexity of new motherhood — including postpartum mood disorders, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the grief that can arrive alongside joy. Led by a licensed clinical social worker with specialized training in perinatal mental health.
Pillar Two
Movement & the Postpartum Body
Gentle, intentional movement guidance designed specifically for where your body is right now — not where it was before pregnancy, not where you think it should be. Movement that restores, reconnects, and supports your nervous system rather than depleting it further. Meeting you exactly as you are.
Pillar Three
Nutrition & Nourishment
Practical, compassionate nutritional support that understands the realities of feeding yourself while feeding a baby — with little time, little sleep, and a body that has extraordinary needs right now. Evidence-based guidance that nourishes without adding pressure or unrealistic expectations.
What sets Remaining Whole apart
This is not a checklist. It is a container.
There is no shortage of postpartum resources. There is a significant shortage of postpartum support that treats a new mother as a whole person — with a mind, a body, a nervous system, an identity, and a life that existed before the baby arrived and will continue to evolve long after.
Remaining Whole was built on the belief that genuine postpartum recovery requires more than information. It requires relationship — with providers who know you, communicate with each other, and hold your wellbeing as a shared responsibility. It requires space that is yours, not just your baby's. And it requires an approach that integrates what is happening in your mind, your body, and your kitchen — because none of those things are separate.
Integrated, not fragmented
Your therapy, movement, and nutrition providers communicate and collaborate. Your care is coordinated rather than siloed — so you never have to repeat yourself or navigate conflicting advice.
Paced by you
There is no timeline you are expected to meet, no milestone you are behind on. The program meets you where you are and moves at the pace your nervous system actually needs.
Both individual and collective
Individual sessions give you private, personalized space. Group support gives you community — other women in the same season, who understand without explanation.
The whole woman, not just the mother
You were someone before your baby arrived. Remaining Whole holds space for her too — your identity, your relationships, your needs, your sense of self — not just your role.
Program structure
What twelve weeks together looks like
Remaining Whole runs over three months — long enough to build real momentum, short enough to feel contained and achievable. Each week has a rhythm, each session has a purpose, and the program is designed so that what happens in therapy, in movement, and in nutrition all inform and support each other.
Individual therapy sessions
One-on-one sessions with your therapist — private, personalized space to process whatever this week has brought. These sessions form the emotional spine of the program.
Group sessions
Therapist-led group sessions with your cohort of up to six mothers. A space to be witnessed, to witness others, and to remember you are not alone in any of this.
Movement sessions
Sessions with a certified perinatal personal trainer — gentle, intentional, and designed specifically for where your body is right now. Movement as restoration, not performance.
Nutrition visits
Monthly visits with a registered nurse specializing in perinatal nutrition — practical, evidence-based support for nourishing yourself through one of the most demanding seasons of your life.
The program arc
Remaining Whole is not a collection of independent sessions — it is a carefully sequenced journey. The material builds week by week, moving through the layered terrain of early motherhood: the identity shifts that no one warned you about, the full emotional spectrum of the postpartum experience, the way birth itself can be a source of grief or trauma, body image and the relationship with your changed body, and the slow, nonlinear work of finding yourself again within this new life. Each topic opens into the next. By the end of twelve weeks, you will have covered real ground — together.
"You cannot pour from an empty vessel. But you were never meant to fill it alone."
Who Remaining Whole is for
You don't have to be struggling to deserve this
Remaining Whole is for any woman in the postpartum period who wants more than survival mode. You may be experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, or mood changes — or you may simply be navigating the profound ordinary difficulty of new motherhood and want support that actually sees you.
You do not need a diagnosis to participate. You do not need to be in crisis. You need only to be a new mother who deserves to be cared for — which is every new mother, without exception.
The program is conducted virtually, serving women throughout Maryland, and is designed to be accessible from wherever you are — including your couch, with a baby on your chest, in the only quiet fifteen minutes you've had all day.
Remaining Whole launches August 1st. If you are in the postpartum period now — or expecting and want to plan ahead — reach out to learn more or to be added to the waitlist. You deserve to be on it.
