As women embarked on their journey into motherhood, something became unmistakably clear: too many new mothers—our colleagues, family, and friends—were returning to work still weary and under-recovered from childbirth. They faced the dual pressures of maintaining their pre-birth momentum while grappling with the demands of new motherhood, often feeling like they couldn’t afford to slow down without being judged. While society celebrates motherhood as a beautiful, almost magical journey, the reality is that the true challenges of the postpartum period are often overlooked and under appreciated.

Through countless conversations with mothers, one thing became clear: the postpartum period is one of the most challenging phases of motherhood, yet it is often the most neglected and rarely given the attention they deserve. We believe this must change.

This realisation led to the creation of Nne Nne, meaning “mother’s mother” in Igbo (South Eastern Nigeria, West Africa) , a premier service within Annomo Health Premium Concierge. Nne Nne was born from the deep bond and shared vision of Martina and Chichi, both distinguished trauma and orthopaedic surgeons. Their friendship, grounded in a mutual passion for healing, inspired them to create a transformative space for new mothers—a space that honours the true essence of care.

Chichi, drawing from her rich Igbo heritage, introduced the tradition of Ọmụgwo into the foundation of Nne Nne. This time-honoured practice involves close family members nurturing a new mother and her baby during the first 40 days postpartum, ensuring she recovers fully and adjusts to her new role with ease. During her own postpartum journey, Martina flourished under the care of a supportive community, embodying the values of Ọmụgwo that are central to Nne Nne.

Our approach combines the wisdom of ancient traditions with modern expertise, creating a holistic care experience that nurtures both mother and child.

At Nne Nne, we are dedicated to redefining postpartum care. Our mission is to provide mothers with unparalleled luxury and support during this pivotal time, ensuring that every mother feels cherished, relaxed, and fully cared for. We offer a sanctuary where mothers and new parents are enveloped in love, attention, and expert guidance, empowering them to navigate this new chapter of life with confidence and joy.

We believe that every mother deserves to be fully supported, not just during pregnancy and birth, but throughout the entire postpartum period.

Empathy lies at the heart of Nne Nne. We envision a world where mothers are supported not just by those who share their experiences, but by anyone who understands the importance of this transformative time. Until every mother can thrive without feeling like she must choose between her well-being and her role as a mother, we will continue to dedicate ourselves to this mission.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about Nne Nne. If you are a mother, know that this has been created for you—because you deserve the very best. We invite you to join us on this journey, to support and witness our commitment to building a brighter future for mothers and their families.
