Life After Birth
A beautifully designed guide to support you through the evolving journey of motherhood. Created by Jessica Prescott and Vaughne Geary, the founders of Mama Goodness, Life After Birth shares a thoughtful, research-informed approach to postpartum care and maternal wellbeing.
Inside, you’ll discover practical guidance on nourishment, rest, breastfeeding support, communication, sibling transitions, and embracing the changing rhythms of motherhood. The book also features a collection of wholesome recipes inspired by their much-loved postpartum food service.
Presented as a stunning hardback with full-colour photography, this is a meaningful companion for the early weeks after birth and the months that follow — offering gentle encouragement and practical tools to help you feel supported in your role as a mother.
Many reviewers refer to this book as a comprehensive bible for the fourth trimester, praising it for covering topics others shy away from, such as postpartum rage, mental health, and physical recovery. The tone is consistently praised as compassionate, non-judgmental, and evidence-based, helping new mothers feel prepared, supported, and nurtured. It is frequently cited as the perfect, essential gift for baby showers or for any expectant parent, not just first-timers.
Jess’ lived experience as a cook-book writer, postpartum doula and mother of two boys taught her how important and empowering it was as a new mother be nourished and nurtured by close friends and family during the postpartum.
Being a Naturopath and postpartum doula, Vaughne is dedicated to ensuring that new parents fuel themselves with quality food and herbs that are nutrient dense and nutritionally sound - which can provide them with the building blocks and therapeutic benefits they need to recover and thrive in the weeks, months and years after birth.
Together they co-founded Mama Goodness, which started in 2019 as a postpartum meal delivery service in Melbourne. They have grown its offerings to provide a range of popular lactation snacks and teas that assist breastfeeding and postpartum nourishment, and also wrote the book Life After Birth. A Guide to Prepare, Support and Nourish You Through Motherhood.
