Yuzi Care

Yuzi was such a relaxing, nourishing haven postpartum! The staff and doulas were incredibly caring and took great care of me and my baby. I felt very secure and I hardly thought of a need they didn't fulfill. The grounds are beautiful, food was delicious, and I came out of the 3-day stay way more rested than when I entered! Would absolutely recommend to new parents.

I came across Yuzi Care back in early 2024 when I was researching postpartum options. Postpartum centers are not common in the US as culturally there is less emphasis on postpartum maternal care here, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that a startup was tackling that in the Seattle area. At the time, starting a family was just a dream. About a year later, I was pregnant and it was time to look for postpartum care options more seriously. After considering many options – finding an independent doula, a live-in confinement nanny, a 'traditional' agency, even giving birth in Hong Kong where my family is, or toughing it out without any support – I revisited Yuzi Care and saw that they were offering an in-home postpartum service. I liked the idea of working with experienced caregivers in the comfort of my own home during the postpartum phase. Steph the CEO helped me craft a 6-week plan with daytime and nighttime support. I was able to see all of the information related to my care program on the website, including who was scheduled for each session. It was so nice to have support from Amy, Lydia, Kristin, Dinora and Anne over the course of 6 weeks. Not only were they all very experienced, they were so kind, and great with the baby. In hindsight, it was so much better than having just one support person during the postpartum phase as I was able to learn so much from each person. Working through a company like Yuzi was also reassuring to me – an anxious first time mom – because everyone on the team was vetted, highly qualified and had even worked with each other in past jobs/training, so it never felt like a 'hiring strangers from the internet' kind of vibe like you might have with a site like care.com or finding individuals using a search engine. I felt completely at ease with putting my newborn into capable hands and knowing that everything would be ok. We had a small technical bug with the website scheduler which is par for the course with a custom built tool, but overall it was impressive and worked really well. And Steph was always so responsive and helpful. TL;DR – I loved being able to work with a new company who is doing something a little different in this space, the team was amazing, it was expensive but well worth it, and my partner and I feel very lucky to have had this experience.

Postnatal retreat on a state park? Say less, we’re there! At 10.5 weeks postpartum my husband and I enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, 24/7 nursery option, and onsite spa. The expert care team of nurses & doulas gave us some hands free quality time as a couple and as individuals. We loved that we could easily communicate with the staff via text. The meals from Cedar + Elm were soooo good and I loved that they created a specific menu to support postpartum nutrition and lactation. Would highly recommend to all postpartum families in the Seattle area.

As a nurse practitioner and the founder of Spruce Psychiatric and Clear Path, I work with many perinatal patients navigating mood, anxiety, and identity shifts after birth. I’ve seen firsthand how critical postpartum support is—not just for the birthing parent, but for the whole family system. That’s why I confidently refer patients to Yuzi Care. Steph, the founder of Yuzi Care, brings deep empathy, lived experience, and operational excellence to her work. Her team of doulas, newborn care specialists, and postpartum professionals deliver thoughtful, culturally competent, and wraparound support. The tech-enabled platform makes it easy for families to access high-quality care exactly when they need it most. If you’re a parent or provider seeking trusted postpartum support, I highly recommend Yuzi Care. Steph is leading a much-needed movement in maternal mental health and recovery.

We cannot recommend Yuzicare highly enough! As two busy working parents, we were overwhelmed trying to figure out newborn care options while balancing our jobs and adjusting to life with a baby. From the very first call, Yuzicare put our minds at ease. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with newborn care and don’t know where to start, trust us — Yuzicare is the partner you need. They made this transition so much smoother than we ever imagined. Thank you, Yuzicare, for caring for our family so we could care for our little one and ourselves too!

We used Yuzi Care’s postpartum at-home services during the first four weeks after our daughter was born, and it was one of the best decisions we made as new parents. The transition home with a newborn can feel overwhelming, but Yuzi Care made it so much more manageable and peaceful. We were fortunate to work with Jessica as our night doula and Elena as our day doula—both were incredibly nurturing, knowledgeable, and gentle with our baby. They not only cared for her with so much love but also supported us as new parents, offering practical guidance, emotional reassurance, helpful tips, and extra hands around the house that made a big difference. Beyond the amazing care providers, Yuzi Care offers a seamless and thoughtful experience—from their easy and flexible booking process and prompt communication to the postpartum education. We’re so grateful to have had their support during this special (and sleep-deprived!) time. Highly recommend to any new family looking for trusted postpartum care.

I had an amazing experience with Yuzi Care -- they provided an amazing birth doula, Dinora, and a team of wonderful postpartum doulas for my 8-week postpartum care! Special thanks to Steph, Dinora, Stephanie, Jessica, and Anne!

As someone who originally considered hiring a Yue Sao (a traditional Chinese live-in postpartum nanny), the idea of having a dedicated caregiver sounded great in theory—someone to cook nourishing meals, help with baby care, and ensure proper rest. But the reality? You’re committing to having a stranger live in your home 24/7, and if things don’t work out, it’s incredibly difficult to part ways. That’s where Yuzi Care’s in-home postpartum services became the perfect solution. Yuzi offers flexible, professional, and highly trained postpartum doulas, nurses, and lactaction nurses who provide the same level of support but on your terms. No awkward live-in situations, no long-term commitment to someone who may not vibe with your family—just expert care, when and how you need it. From newborn care and lactation support to meal prep and recovery guidance, Yuzi delivers all the benefits of a Yue Sao without the stress or drama. Their concierge system makes scheduling seamless, and you get the expertise of an entire postpartum care team rather than relying on just one person. Yuzi Care is the way to go. I couldn’t be happier with my decision! They were all so knowledgeable. I actually wanted to check out their retreat, but there wasnt enough sign ups for my time. which is sad... We need more moms to do the retreat with me!

As a mom of 2 toddlers, my biggest concern was not developing the bond with my newborn that I had with my first two kids. The certified and experienced care team at Yuzi ensured I could maximize one on one time with my son and achieve optimal rest and relaxation. Delicious, gourmet meals designed by a nutritionist, were delivered to my room 3 times a day. These meals improved my milk supply and the quality of my milk; my son gained a full pound during our five night stay. The meals were based on my dietary preferences and cravings. Just having meals brought to me provided me with time to get to know my newborn and also nap with him; this was invaluable and exactly what I was looking for! Yuzi is located in the historical Lodge at St. Edward's Park. I loved being able to stroll the trails with my baby. On rainy days, I toured the art galleries or relaxed in the library. The park also has an amazing play area that my toddlers loved playing at when my husband and toddlers visited. Room service was also provided for my husband and children upon request. I was able to experience a facial and a massage at the Vita Nova Spa located within the lodge. The care team took my son to the nursery and bottle fed, cuddled, and even sang lullabies to him while I took time for self care. At any point, I was able to view my son on the Nanit Cameras the nursery is equipped with. It was also a nice option to leave him with the care team when I needed "me time" to bathe, sleep alone and uninterrupted, or have an uninterrupted meal. Every night, I also indulged in a foot soak and eye or face mask provided by the staff. The entire team was kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. They were reachable via text and would check in with me regularly. Not only were they able to provide support in caring for my newborn, but also ensured I had everything I needed: from sanitary pads to peri ice packs to lactation teas and a variety of lactation support snacks and hydration products. It was nice to be able to try various snacks I've seen advertised on social media before buying any of them online. Although I regularly see a postpartum therapist, a 30 minute wellness check was also provided with my stay. It is very comforting to know how Yuzi understands the challenges which affect our mental health as we adjust to welcoming a newborn in our lives. Finally, along with just being surrounded by a knowledgeable care team, it was comforting to know Yuzi has safety protocols designed by OB and Labor and Delivery teams from one of our top rated hospitals in the Seattle Area. I can't thank my family and the staff at Yuzi enough for this invaluable experience.

Amazing stay!!! A much needed 5 night stay after having a c-section. It was so hard to recover and going to Yuzi was amazing. Food was awesome, spa and having care for my brand newborn son was needed so I could heal and focus on my baby and not worry about cooking, cleaning etc. in addition all the baby classes were amazing and needed since this is my first baby. I would have struggled if I would have gone home after hospital and Yuzi made it so much easier to start the healing process and enjoy my brand new son. We came back again 2.5 months later and celebrated our 1 year anniversary, the restaurant is amazing and we utilized the nursery while we celebrated. Thank you Yuzi Care!

We booked our stay at Yuzi 2 weeks postpartum which was the perfect timing for us as first time parents. It was just enough time to settle in at home and get to know our baby while identifying things we wanted to address and learn from the Yuzi doulas and nurses. The care team was top notch, we learned so much from them from the official classes we took such as infant CPR, car seat installation, lactation support but also just from the helpful tidbits they would share with us throughout the day as they were taking care of us and our baby. We ended up using the 24/7 staffed nursery every night overnight as well as randomly throughout the day which made spending quality time with each other so much better as well as allowed for much needed self-care time (the massage and facial at the spa were so relaxing!). The food was also amazing and loved that each meal was thoughtfully designed for postpartum parents. Truly an amazing experience and so happy a place like this exists where we live. Highly recommend to any families who need a little rest and support during this chapter.
