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.

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 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.

I have been torn about whether to post this review but my experience with Yuzi is so disappointing I decided it was worth it to potentially spare others the disappointment as they are continuing to advertise services that don’t actually exist. I signed up for the retreat in summer 2024 for a January stay at St. Edward’s Lodge. It had everything I wanted—the stay at the luxury hotel, the premade meals, the support. I explained to them how I had a toddler with cancer and how much this stay was going to mean to me and immediately put down a deposit. I cannot tell you how many times in the child oncology ward I thought, “well, this sucks, but at least I have my retreat in January.” And then I received an email about a refund that hit my account in October. No phone call. Then a follow-up email that was like, Hi Mama! Congratulations on your bundle of joy! We have an important update! The reservations at St. Edwards are paused starting at the end of October! I was really upset. The email said they could offer the services at home, but there is just no comparison to staying in a hotel postpartum. I later inquired about meals—nope, not included, they’d have to hire a chef for you. Cleaning not included. Mental health services not included. Forget it. I saw that they continued to advertise their retreat services and so I called and spoke to the owner, who informed me they didn’t have enough demand so they were now exploring different hotels in the area based on demand and asked if I would be interested. I said I was willing to travel anywhere for this experience and got my hopes up, AGAIN. A month later, I received an email—never a call—they didn’t actually have demand and they would need to cancel on me A SECOND TIME. And to date, they are STILL advertising their retreat services. I understand what they are trying to do, but the business model isn’t working unless they magically get a certain amount of families willing to sign up at the same time and STAY signed up. I’m a second time mom and I was disappointed. When I toured, I was there with first time parents who had reserved three weeks and had flown in from out of state and had booked the same time period as me—I can’t imagine how frustrated they must have been. Impossible business model, out of touch emailing, and lack of personal contact ultimately make this a 1 star experience for me.

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!

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!

My name is Roman I can’t say enough wonderful things about Yuzi Postpartum Recovery! After having my firstborn via C-section, I chose to use their at-home postpartum recovery service, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. They sent Jessica, one of their incredible doulas, to my home, and she went above and beyond to make me feel supported and cared for during such an important time. Jessica brought a level of knowledge, compassion, and professionalism that I honestly hadn’t experienced before. She quickly became a comforting presence, helping me with everything from recovery tips to newborn care and emotional support. I genuinely felt more relaxed and confident as a new mom with her guidance. Jessica’s skill and empathy were so amazing that, if I’m honest, I often preferred her support over anyone else’s, including my own family. I wholeheartedly recommend Yuzi Postpartum Recovery to any new mom looking for compassionate, expert care. They truly understand what we need during the postpartum period and provide a service that makes a world of difference. Thank you, Yuzi, and a huge thank you to Jessica!" Forever grateful.

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.
