Maternal Health & Wellness Retreats

Maternal health rankings in Louisiana are among the lowest in the nation; more Louisiana moms & babies die during childbirth then 45 other states. Recharge! Refresh! Refuel! Wellness Retreat: A Day of Loving on Moms & R.E.D! Wellness Retreat: Rejuvenating Evening of Development were created to improve maternal health statistics in Acadiana. During our 2023 retreat, there were several objectives that we hoped to fulfill during the retreat. By collaborating with community partners and using research-based strategies, the retreat was able to meet our objectives. Participants left with a wealth of resources and a community that can provide them with support in their maternal health journey. We introduced the concepts of “doulas”, and “postpartum navigators” highlighted their importance in maternal health. Our doulas & postpartum navigator spoke to attendees about the importance of timely prenatal visits, weighing options when facing a C-section, and the importance of postpartum care for moms and babies. Using an 18-foot long charcutier board, we demonstrated how mothers can improve their nutrition by “eating the rainbow” and taught the nutritional and medicinal value of the wide assortment of food options.
