This blog post was written for Doulas of Utah by our friend, Samantha Wyatt, of Create Motherly Love.
My name is Samantha Wyatt. I’m a pregnant mom to 4 young children and the founder of Create Motherly Love. Create Motherly Love is a postpartum supplement company designed to help mothers thrive during the postpartum period. I started Create Motherly Love after my own postpartum recovery.
After I gave birth to my oldest daughter, I became depressed and anxious all of the time, to the point where I could barely function during the day. When I became pregnant with my second baby at 9 months postpartum, I studied everything I could to avoid going through that again. That’s when I discovered the Walsh Protocol, a blood draw done during the early months postpartum to determine vitamin deficiencies.
I didn’t become anxious or depressed during my second and third postpartum periods, and I greatly attribute that to those blood draws in addition to the nutritional therapy I did. When I was pregnant with my fourth baby, I had a strong desire to help other mothers thrive postpartum like I did.
I used the findings from Dr. William Walsh, the researcher behind the Walsh Protocol, and the advice of a dozen different doctors and nutritionists to come up with a formulation to help postpartum women thrive. I then searched for a USA-based manufacturer and toured many to ensure I chose the right one. I ended up choosing one in Orem, Utah, a 30-minute drive from my house.
Postpartum Joy Nutritional Complex is the first product I have formulated and manufactured. It’s manufactured at a cGMP-certified, FDA-registered, and USDA-approved facility. The product has been third-party tested for heavy metals, microbes and authenticity. In addition, each unit has been inspected for potential defects and kept in a temperature- and moisture-regulated environment to ensure quality lasts.
The main benefits my customers have seen are: energy, mood and focus support. One customer mentioned, “This is the first time I did not get baby blues, and this is my 9th baby, so that’s saying a lot”. Another mentioned that she felt more balanced, energized, and more like herself again. Overall, most customers noticed an increase in their energy and mood.
Each ingredient was carefully chosen to achieve these results. The B-vitamins (Methylated Folate, P5P and Methylcobalamin) support the energy needs of a new mother who isn’t getting enough sleep. Choline Bitartrate and DHA support brain functions, such as focus and memory. Magnesium Glycinate and Vitamin D3 support mood, while Selenium Glycinate and Zinc Picolinate support thyroid and immune function.

While nutrition can play an important role in postpartum recovery, many families also benefit from practical and emotional support during the fourth trimester. Learn more about our postpartum doula services here.
