Mama
This foundation mama is all about your newborn baby and everything that goes with it. Sufficient exercise, choosing the right diet and meditation are points of attention in this phase of life. Female support provides support in this phase.
In our web app, you will find a questionnaire under ‘my foundation’ that serves as the basis for determining your foundation. This enables us to provide you with targeted advice on body, food & mind, and supplements, and helps identify which tools suit you best. The questionnaire and foundations have been compiled by a team of physiotherapists, hormone factor trainers, dietitians, psychologists, and coaches.

Rest and planning
Take on less responsibilities, focus on your real priorities and don’t plan too many things in a day. Go to bed early to try and compensate for the broken nights. Share the nights with your partner so that you can get a full night’s sleep every second night. When extremely tired, try and have an afternoon nap.
