About Us

Who we are, what we stand for, and where we want to go.

At The Lullabar, we take self-care seriously.

As mothers, we know how difficult it can be to have free time for ourselves. And for some families, it can be practically impossible.

We want to change that.

What we stand for

We’re all about the mother’s experience.

Let’s get straight to the point. Maternal mental health is at an all-time low.

It’s a crisis that affects not only the mother but the entire family. As mothers ourselves, we are in tune with the social isolation that comes with motherhood. We’ve been there.

Our mission

We aim to create a space that provides opportunities for mothers to reconnect with themselves and their community, hoping to make the mothers’ experience more positive and supportive.

Our first location will be in Carlsbad, CA at The Beacon La Costa. We are scheduled to open in mid-February/early March 2023.
