The MotherBees Story

About us

The MotherBees Story

MotherBees began with a passion rooted in tradition and care. Inspired by the ancient Chinese practice of Zuo Yuezi, founder Heng Ou experienced firsthand the transformative power of nurturing postpartum care following her own births. Witnessing the stark contrast between this sacred tradition and the limited support offered to new mothers elsewhere, Heng set out to create a space where nourishment, wisdom, and community could flourish.

What started as a small, heartfelt effort has blossomed into a global movement. MotherBees has grown to embrace the healing arts and share them with mothers worldwide, offering not just nourishing meals but also resources and guidance to help families thrive.

Meet Our Queen Bee

Heng Ou, the visionary behind MotherBees, grew up immersed in the wisdom of Chinese medicine, passed down through generations of her family. With a deep love for the healing arts, Heng poured her knowledge and passion into creating a nurturing environment for mothers.

She is the celebrated author of The First Forty Days, Awakening Fertility, and Nine Golden Months, empowering countless women through their motherhood journeys. Heng’s warmth, wisdom, and commitment to care create a ripple effect, touching the lives of everyone she encounters. Her dedication to honoring and supporting mothers is at the heart of everything we do at MotherBees.

"It's time to change our ways, to pick up the threads of knowledge that we forgot and weave them into a new kind of fabric to hold the mother. We must do it for ourselves and for our children, because the way women become mothers profoundly affects the way their children awaken to this world. When you take care of the mother, you take care of the child."
