Postpartum care for working parents and the employers who support them.

Sanctuary partners with employers to support working parents through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, parental leave, and the return-to-work transition—whether they’re welcoming their first child or growing their family.

Our services complement existing parental leave and wellness benefits by offering in-home, relationship-based care during the weeks and months when support is often needed most.

Why Support for Working Parents Matters

Even employees with generous leave policies and strong benefits can feel under-supported once a baby arrives. 

Postpartum recovery, sleep deprivation, feeding logistics, childcare planning, and the emotional realities of returning to work can affect both birthing and non-birthing parents—and directly shape how prepared, focused, and supported they feel.

For employers, this can impact:

  • Retention

  • Workforce continuity

  • Productivity and focus

  • Overall well-being 

  • Successful return-to-work transitions

  • Long-term loyalty

Bridging the Gap Between Parental Leave and Real Life

Sanctuary provides expert postpartum and family support through Colorado’s largest birth and postpartum doula team.

Our interdisciplinary model gives employees access to vetted providers across postpartum doula care, overnight newborn support, lactation, maternal health coaching, family chef services, and other specialty support.

We help employees:

  • Prepare for the fourth trimester with a realistic support plan

  • Recover with more rest, nourishment, and practical help at home

  • Reduce stress and logistical overwhelm during a period of significant change

  • Plan for feeding, childcare, and household rhythms in ways that support the return-to-work transition 

  • Feel more confident, grounded, and supported through the logistical and emotional realities of starting or growing a family

Partnership Opportunities

Sanctuary’s employer partnerships are designed to be flexible, scalable, and responsive to the realities of different workplace environments, company sizes, employee populations, and organizational goals.

Possible starting points:

  • Return-to-work planning sessions focused on childcare logistics, feeding/pumping plans, mental load, and sustainable routines

  • Parent resource guides with practical planning tools, trusted local referrals, and postpartum support resources
