For now,
will you just sleep?
A Yojo Stay —
quiet care for a body that has given so much.
No one is watching.
You may stay until there are no tears left.
A restorative stay for adults, from Budou no Ki —
a place to find your way back to yourself.
Your body has been through
as much as it would
in childbirth.
A sudden shift in hormones,
physical pain, and exhaustion of the heart.
For the body, a miscarriage or stillbirth
is a birth.
And yet — are you trying to return
to everyday life straight away?
This is not a time to force a smile. First warm your body, and sleep as deeply as you can.
What comes next can wait until your heart and body
are full again.
Three promises to keep you
away from the noise
Quiet
A private space where no baby's voice reaches you
Your route through the building is separate from the usual postpartum care floor, and your room is one where you need not hear or see a baby.
Restoration
Care that warms you from within
Cold is the enemy of body and mind. With medicinal soups, herbal teas and warming bath preparations, we offer the kind of deep restoration that is hard to manage at home.
Distance
The service of being left alone
Conversation with staff is kept to a minimum, and meals can be left outside your door, so that you can shut yourself away completely.
You need not put a lid on your grief.
Nor need you force it open.
There are days when you want to talk to someone, and days when you want to see no one at all.
Here, please follow your own heart. Our staff, who have completed specialist training, will keep whatever distance you wish.
【Writing】
Giving shape to what cannot be said
"Fragments of Feeling" notebook
An exchange diary in which you can write anything, from painful feelings to requests for our staff. We always write back (or not, if you prefer).
"A Letter to the Sky"
A writing set for a letter to your child or to yourself. If you wish, we will keep it for you and reverently offer it up in a ceremonial burning.
【Talking】
A quiet conversation with a professional
"Time Together" (by appointment)
When you feel you would like to talk to someone, please call a member of staff. We will not offer advice. We will simply sit beside you and listen.
【Prayer】
A place of your own, to remember that child
"A small memorial space"
A corner of the room where you may place an ultrasound photograph or a keepsake. Spend a quiet time in the light of an LED candle.
Please tell us how you feel today,
without using
words.
"I don't want to see anyone today."
"I'd like to talk a little today."
You can let us know these shifts of mood
with the "request plate" in your room. There is no need to telephone or speak to anyone.
Rest mode
Please leave me be
Ordinary mode
Please treat me as usual

We serve Tasteforlife, a specialist brand in postpartum and post-miscarriage care,
loved in Taiwan for more than twenty years.
Because recovery comes first, we would not compromise on the soups we serve.
These are the medicinal soups of Tasteforlife, a specialist maker that has long supported women's health in Taiwan, where a culture of postpartum care runs deep.
A formulation built around recovery
Developed jointly with the Taiwanese Chinese-medicine practitioner Dr Hsu Hui-yin. The nutrients a delicate body needs after a miscarriage are carefully calculated, supporting recovery through a cycle of metabolism, repair and nourishment.
Uncompromising on safety
So as not to burden an already weakened body, no artificial seasonings, colourings or preservatives are used. Only high-quality herbal ingredients free of pesticide residues and heavy metals are selected.
Rice-koji water instead of plain water
The base of every soup is 100% rice-koji water, a brewed water developed by Tasteforlife from carefully selected glutinous rice. Rich in amino acids, it warms the body from deep within.
✓ No artificial seasonings ✓ No colourings ✓ No preservatives ✓ No pesticide residues
We will not try to
“cure”
your grief.
Our staff have medical and care backgrounds as midwives and in related fields, and have completed specialist training in perinatal grief care.
We know that words of encouragement can sometimes weigh heavily.
We hope simply to be there, so that your time here is a little warmer and a little safer.

Three features of this plan
Food that helps the body heal
In Chinese medicine a miscarriage is called a “small birth”, and is held to need care as attentive as an ordinary birth, if not more so. This plan includes one bowl a day of Tasteforlife medicinal soup — from a postpartum care brand with more than twenty years' standing in Taiwan — with dinner or as a late-night bowl.
Amenities for warmth and quiet
We have put together a set of items exclusive to this plan, to shield you from cold and from noise.
A distance you choose — to talk, or not to talk
Staff who have completed specialist training will support you at the pace your heart sets.
Before you book (when to come)
