Ma’s Oasis was founded by Alice Tang who wanted to help mothers recover and heal from childbirth through traditional Chinese postpartum meals. This idea was inspired by her own experience practicing Zuo Yue Zi, or Chinese Postpartum Confinement.
Zuo Yue Zi (坐月子) or “sitting the month” is when mothers stay home for an entire month to allow their body to properly heal and rest after a taxing 9+ months of pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
