Begin Your Care

You Deserve to Rest and Recover

Tena is here to hold you through one of life's most beautiful and demanding transitions. Let us bring the care to you.

Nursing Care
Medical Support

Postpartum Nurses

Our skilled postpartum nurses provide expert clinical care for both mother and newborn during the critical days and weeks following birth. They monitor your physical recovery, assess vital signs, support wound healing, and answer the medical questions that arise in those early days at home.

From C-section recovery support to lactation assistance and newborn assessments, our nurses bring hospital-level expertise into the calm of your own home.

Doula Support
Emotional & Physical Support

Doula Support

Tena's certified doulas provide a continuous, nurturing presence throughout your postpartum journey. They offer emotional support, guidance on infant feeding, help with baby care techniques, and a compassionate ear during a time that is as emotionally complex as it is beautiful.

Your doula becomes a trusted presence — someone who understands what you're going through and can help you feel grounded, confident, and supported every step of the way.

Caregiver
Daily Assistance

In-Home Caregivers

Our experienced in-home caregivers take on the daily tasks that make rest possible — baby care, feeding support, light household assistance, laundry, and running errands so that the home stays peaceful and manageable.

Your caregiver works alongside your family as a reliable, warm, and professional presence so that the entire household can breathe easier during the postpartum period.

Massage
Healing Touch

Massage Therapy

Postpartum massage is one of the most powerful tools for physical recovery. Our licensed massage therapists specialize in techniques that reduce swelling, ease muscle tension, support hormonal balance, and promote deep physical and emotional release.

Sessions are gentle, fully customized to your postpartum body, and take place in the comfort of your own home — so you can rest afterward without needing to go anywhere.

Nourishing Meals
Nutritional Healing

Nourishing Meals

Our postpartum chefs prepare warm, healing, nutrient-dense meals designed to support your recovery and, where applicable, your milk supply. Meals are made fresh in your kitchen using wholesome ingredients rooted in postpartum nutrition traditions.

From warming soups and slow-cooked broths to nourishing grain bowls and herbal teas, every meal is an act of care for your healing body.

Hair & Styling
Personal Care Add-On

Hair Wash & Styling

There is something profoundly restorative about having your hair washed and styled when you cannot do it easily yourself. Our personal care professionals bring this simple luxury directly to you — gently washing, conditioning, drying, and styling your hair in the comfort of your home.

Available as an add-on to any package — $95 per visit.

Our Story

Born From a Belief That Mothers Deserve More

Tena was created because the postpartum experience is often left unsupported. We built something different.

Who We Are

The Story Behind Tena

Tena was created to meet mothers exactly where they are — at home, in the most tender and transformative weeks of their lives. We saw a gap between the care mothers needed and the care they were receiving, and we built something to fill it.

Currently serving the San Francisco Bay Area and Houston, Texas, Tena brings a trusted team of postpartum professionals directly to your home — so that recovery feels supported, not lonely.

We believe the postpartum period is not something to simply survive. It is a sacred transition that deserves thoughtful, professional, and deeply personalized support.

Every mother
deserves care.
