In-home postpartum care in Irvine, the way recovery should feel

Care that meets you the day you come home

The drive home from Hoag Irvine is short. The fourth trimester is not. For Irvine families — many balancing demanding careers, from Woodbridge to Turtle Rock to University Park — the first weeks home are where recovery is either truly supported or quietly survived alone.

Sanhu House exists for the mother's recovery, not only the baby's care. A trained doula arrives at your door, the care equipment is set up and ready, and your recovery plan is already curated — so you can rest while someone competent handles the rest.

What we offer in Irvine

More than one doula — a coordinated team

A single doula covers one shift. Sanhu House coordinates a full network — doulas, IBCLCs, and a dedicated Care Team — connected through Sanhu Circle, a support channel where your questions get answered between shifts, day or night.

For families navigating IVF, a NICU stay, or a higher-anxiety recovery, that coordination is the difference between feeling handled and feeling alone. It's the same gold standard of structure and expertise whether care happens during the day or overnight.

What it costs & how insurance helps

Cost depends on whether you choose daytime care, overnight care, or both — and how long each shift runs. Rather than a one-size price, we'll map a plan to your recovery and your budget on a free intro call.
