Next in our Motherhood Rising series with Susheel Schroeder x Tenth Wellness, we meet Alexandra Dudley, writer, cook, and host of Come For Supper who shares her reflections on creativity, slowing down, and finding nourishment in the early chapters of motherhood.

The Tenth Method is our signature postpartum care system, a proprietary approach that blends expert medical care with modern wellbeing, reflection, and emotional recovery. Developed alongside London’s leading obstetricians, midwives, and holistic practitioners, The Tenth Method is designed to support and restore a mother across three essential dimensions: physical, mental, and emotional recovery.

In this feature, we sit down with Thandi Maqubela — South African–born legal director and mother of two — to explore how she balances ambition with presence, the evolution of identity after birth, and what it means to redefine success on her own terms.

Calling all sleep-deprived snack lovers, The Tenth’s Resident Postpartum Chef, Maura (@in_bloom_wellbeing), has been in the kitchen creating some delicious recipes just for you.

We’re proud to launch a new editorial series in partnership with photographer Susheel Schroeder, celebrating the resilience, renewal, and identity of mothers in the postpartum journey. Through intimate portraits and personal stories, this series shines a light on the quiet power of motherhood and the beauty of recovery.

In our first feature, we sit down with Laura Wills, mother of four, to explore what it was like transitioning into motherhood.

This National Fitness Day, we’re redefining what fitness means for new mothers. 

At The Tenth Wellness, our luxury postpartum retreat based at the Mandarin Oriental in  Hyde Park, London, we believe postpartum recovery isn’t about “bouncing back.” It’s about  returning to yourself slowly, intentionally, and with expert support.  Postnatal fitness doesn’t begin with burpees or boot camps. It begins with rest,  nourishment, and a gentle reintroduction to movement, always rooted in science and led  by our compassionate, clinical experts. 

Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most transformative moments, physically, emotionally, and mentally. But while the focus often stays on birth itself, the real work begins in the weeks and months that follow.

Discover the 6 breastfeeding challenges that catch new mothers off- guard. From mastitis to D-MER, the Tenth is here to offer expert 24/7 support to overcome any and all breastfeeding challenges.

Postpartum care is one of the most critical yet often overlooked aspects of new motherhood. After months of pregnancy and the physical demands of childbirth, a woman’s body undergoes significant changes that require attention, care, and time to heal.

Preparing for the postpartum period is essential for new mothers, as it sets the foundation for recovery, support, and a smoother transition into parenthood. Yet 75% of women who participated in a survey for The Tenth were unaware of the necessary measures needed to take to recover physically postpartum. 

While childbirth is technically a biological event, the way women experience pregnancy and the postpartum period is heavily shaped by social and cultural factors.
