Generational Wisdom for Modern Motherhood

A Thread Between Generations

I grew up watching the women in my family— my grandmother, my mother, my aunts - care for new mothers with deep wisdom and unwavering love. Their knowledge wasn’t written in books or found in clinics; it was passed down from generation to generation, a living tradition of nourishment, healing, and community. They learned from the women before them, who learned from theirs. And now, I am carrying this wisdom forward.

In those early days after childbirth, when a mother was at her most vulnerable, I saw how food became medicine, how warmth and rest were sacred, and how the presence of other women was as vital as any remedy. These practices weren’t just about physical recovery; they were about strengthening the bond between mother and child, honoring the transition into motherhood through the support of a village, and ensuring the well-being of both.

But as our lives have changed, these traditions have started to fade, replaced by fast-paced routines and modern conveniences that often overlook the deep needs of a postpartum mother. This wisdom holds incredible value and I want to bring it to mothers so that they are supported in their journey.

This is why Yuri was created - to bring these time-honored practices in a way that fits into the lives of modern mothers. Yuri is a new postpartum products & services company that will bring generational wisdom in a way fitting to modern motherhood.

But more than a product, Yuri is about community. Yuri is about reconnecting women to the traditions that have nurtured mothers and babies for centuries. Yuri is about preserving generational wisdom so that it continues to serve not just us, but the mothers and daughters who come after us.

Through Yuri, I hope to honor the legacy of the women before me and bring maternal and infant nourishment to every woman who needs it. Because no mother should have to navigate this journey alone. Because generational wisdom still has a place in our modern world. Because motherhood deserves to be supported, cherished, and celebrated.
