The Ruby Postnatal, a luxury, round-the-clock, spa-like postpartum retreat for mothers and their newborns is slated to launch at the Omni Hotel in Houston's Tanglewood-area on June 1.

Meet the owner

Founded by local Houstonian Robyn Jedkins, she created the space at the Omni Hotel as a place where new mothers can heal and bond with their new phase in life, according to a May news release.

“As a mother of three, I understand the challenges and joys of motherhood firsthand,” Jedkins said. “My journey through motherhood has provided me with invaluable insights into the needs and concerns of new mothers. By founding The Ruby, I’ve made my mission to provide mothers with the gold standard in postnatal care, ensuring that no mother feels alone, overwhelmed or unsupported in her recovery journey."

Explained

A team of nurses and specialists are available 24/7 to address the mother’s physical and emotional needs. Other services provided to guests include:

  • Infant feeding support
  • Swaddling and soothing baby
  • Diaper change assistance
  • Lactation support, including latching support and milk supply help

Also included in the retreat is a culinary team who craft nutritious dishes to support healing, boost milk supply and provide meals that cater to the mother’s needs.

What else

At the Omni hotel, mothers are offered a private room and a hospital-grade bassinet. Guests placing reservations for the retreat have three different offers, with pricing depending on how many nights at the hotel, according to the news release.

Accommodations for the packages can range from 1-14 or more nights at the hotel, from $950-$1,175 per night.
