ATL Intown Postpartum Pod - Q3 2026 Babies

For babies born between July to October 2026. 

A small group learning series that provides support and connection in the months after birth. Registration includes Annual MESH moms membership. 

Postpartum Pods are limited to 8 mom/baby pairs and are facilitated by an experienced Postpartum Doula and different subject matter experts.

Postpartum Pods create an intimate cohort of mothers with same-age babies. You’ll get specific guidance around developmental milestones, regulating your baby’s sleep routine, breast and bottle feeding, separation anxiety, maternal identity, and so much more! The most valuable benefit of our Postpartum Pods may simply be being seen by others going through this exciting but at times overwhelming phase of life and developing strong bonds with other moms... But you’ll also learn how to mindfully navigate the first few months of your child’s life, as well as gain resources to help you and your little one develop ongoing confidence and joy.

You will also be able to join our Pod-only WhatsApp group. Within this group, you’ll connect with the other pod participants and our Postpartum doula, receiving ongoing advice and unwavering support throughout the pod’s duration. Even after your pod concludes, this platform remains accessible, fostering ongoing connections with fellow moms.

Your Pod will be led by:

Dr. Merci Ortenzi Treaster PT, DPT, founder and owner of The Pelvis Pro

Growing up surrounded by healthcare professionals, Merci's journey to becoming a pelvic health expert was destined. With an OB/GYN mom and a chiropractor mom, anatomy was a dinner table topic, setting her on the path to specialize in pelvic floor dysfunction.

Driven by her OBGYN mom's observations of postpartum women lacking musculoskeletal support, Merci delved into research and discovered the transformative power of pelvic health physical therapy.  Thus, The Pelvis Pro was born. Once simply an Instagram account serving as a social media hub for prenatal tips and postpartum guidance, it now spans two physical locations in Atlanta!

Becoming a mother herself reinforced the importance of pelvic health, spurring Merci to provide holistic care for women throughout all stages of motherhood. With a doctorate in physical therapy from Mercer University and an undergraduate degree in exercise physiology and specialized training in pelvic floor rehabilitation, Merci blends manual therapy with a functional approach, ensuring every patient receives tailored, evidence-based care.

Driven by a passion to bridge the gap in women's healthcare, Merci strives to empower women with knowledge and support.
