Our home visits allow a family to receive care in their own homes. This can minimize illness exposure and allow a family to rest and recover from the birth experience
During these first few weeks after the baby has been born, the postpartum and newborn biology are still very much interconnected with one another!
By providing care together, we can address issues in a comprehensive way.
We provide primary pediatric care to the newborn during the first 2 months— similar to what is typically done in the doctor’s office (well visits, sick visits, order labs and referrals) AND we provide maternal care by checking in on postnatal wellness, breastfeeding, mood, and general recovery.
All are welcome! We believe everyone deserves excellent care.
We are grateful for Western medicine and also for the wonder of biology and nature. We take a natural approach whenever possible.
We love to continue to learn from the many different traditions around the world that nurture the fourth trimester.
We believe that community can be a really important part of this time for a family.
We offer weekly virtual group visits to bring the families in the practice together. It is a time each week to share how everyone is doing and what fourth trimester issues would be helpful to discuss as a group.

We are in-network and covered by most insurance plans in the area.

"Receiving care for my baby and myself through Tova Health was like a haven for the fourth trimester. The whole process was easy - signing up, getting care in our home, having plenty of time for questions, having one place for concerns about my or the baby’s health, and being able to access Dr Z easily when something came up. And the transition to our family practice at the end was also no stress (except being sad that our time with Tova Health was done!). Dr Z and the team at Tova Health were all warm and caring. Exactly what a practice should be!"

M.C., Arlington, MA
“Dr. Z was a beacon of light during the exciting and challenging postpartum period. I noticed how she would ask how I was doing first before checking in about my baby. In those early days I would reply answering about the baby and she’d remind me that we’d get to him, but first me. It was a valuable lesson on the importance of taking care of myself. This is one example of many important lessons I learned from Dr. Z’s care..”

J.G., Watertown, MA
"The first month after birth is such a wild time. Learning how to mother, getting very little sleep, and with my own body changing and healing, I had no desire to go out. Not to mention, bringing a tiny infant out into the winter chill was a scary prospect l. I was delighted to have Dr. Zasloff’s home visits."

H.S., Medford
“Integrated pediatric and maternal fourth trimester care respects and honors the mother baby dyad. The idea that these two creatures should be separated in their care creates an odd disconnect in what should be a combined journey..”

C.L., Arlington, MA
"I couldn’t get out of bed that first week and a half. We had our first meeting with her sitting on my bed. I don’t know what I would have done had I not had this model of care."

J.F., Arlington, MA
"The virtual mothers group that I attended was during the height of Covid. I felt so alone and so scared. The weekly meetings we had were so incredibly important to me. I also made friends through it that I’m still in touch with years later. I’m so grateful for this community and the support I received."

Natalie D
"Thanks Dr Z and team for creating this amazing practice. It’s such a gift to the patients, but also to healthcare and to the world that a practice like this exists. It’s possible to break out of the status quo and to bring something good into the world. Really inspiring.

M.C., Arlington, MA
""Amazing. After experiencing it firsthand, I can't fathom why this is not a normal thing!!! Our bodies don't stop dealing with birth just because the baby comes out. I'm so grateful that Dr. Z made this part of her practice."

A.T., Watertown, MA
“I cannot sing Tova Health’s praises enough. Thank you Dr. Z and team!"

C.M, Arlington, MA
"I had a traumatic birth and was left with complications where I could not get out of bed. I will be forever grateful for the care I received from Dr. Zasloff. Not only did she care for my baby, but she cared about me too. She helped me process my birthing experience and truly listened to me. No other provider had done that."

J.F., Arlington, MA
"Integrated care of baby and mom just makes sense! I don’t understand why it would be any other way. It felt very natural, helpful and confidence building. It was such a contrast to my previous experience with my older two kids which was fractured care. With Tova Health, I felt that my baby and I were really cared for.."

M.C., Arlington, MA
"The difference in care I experienced for both myself and my baby was what all care should be like for postpartum people. I am a pelvic floor physical therapist and I care deeply about the care team I help cultivate for my patients and Dr. Zasloff is my go to!"

M.H., MA
"There is a void in the US for mothers postpartum and providing moms the opportunity to stay home after delivering a baby is such an immense help. "

B.F., Cambridge, MA
"This is what the model should be! I feel truly lucky that I was able to access this kind of care."

G.A., Somerville
"So nice to get both of us checked in one visit instead of trying to make multiple appointments when you want to focus on recovering and learning a whole new way of life with baby."
