What started as hands-on work in post-op recovery quickly became a mission. After working with thousands of post-op clients, I realized something was missing. Women were investing thousands of dollars into their surgeries, but many were being sent home with little guidance on what recovery actually looks like.
That's where Post-Op Mami was born.
My goal is simple: to help you feel informed, empowered, and supported throughout your recovery journey. Whether you're preparing for a BBL, tummy tuck, liposuction, breast procedure, or multiple surgeries, I believe recovery should not feel confusing or overwhelming.
Through my educational content, guides, courses, and resources, I break down recovery in a way that's easy to understand without fear tactics, judgment, or gatekeeping.
My approach combines professional experience, evidence-based recovery practices, lymphatic health education, and holistic wellness principles to help you support your body during one of the most important healing periods of your life.
I'm not your surgeon, and I'm not here to replace medical advice. Think of me as your post-op big sister—bringing a decade of hands-on experience into clear, practical education that helps women navigate recovery more confidently.
Surgery is just one day.
Recovery is the real journey.
You do not have to figure it out alone.
Clear information, realistic expectations, and practical tools can change the way you experience recovery.

Does this replace my surgeon's instructions?
No. Your surgeon's instructions come first. Post Op Mami helps you stay organized, informed, and ready to ask better questions.
