The drive home from Huntington Health in Pasadena is short. The fourth trimester is not. Plenty of Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley families are balancing demanding careers and a busy household, from Bungalow Heaven to Madison Heights to San Rafael, and the first weeks at 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, your care equipment is set up and ready, and your recovery plan has already been built with you by your Maternal Care Specialist. You rest while someone capable handles the rest.

More than one doula: a coordinated team
A single doula covers one shift. Sanhu House coordinates a full network of doulas, IBCLCs, and a dedicated Care Team, connected through Sanhu Circle, 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.
Sanhu House is an approved Carrot provider, and we can coordinate Kaiser pathways depending on eligibility. We provide superbills and itemized documentation so you're ready to submit for reimbursement.
