To recommend MaMile to your clients, you share a free 14-day trial through a simple tracked link or QR code, and you can join the MaMile Partner Program to earn 20% recurring commission for as long as each referred family stays subscribed — with no quotas and no pressure. MaMile is a gentle, phone-only walking and habit app built on effort, not pace, so the recommendation fits naturally into the postpartum guidance you already give. This is education for practitioners, not medical advice.
Why does a practitioner recommendation matter so much? #
Because your clients trust you more than any ad. When a doula, midwife, IBCLC, OB, or pelvic-floor PT suggests a tool, families act on it — provider advice is one of the strongest levers on healthy-lifestyle behavior, and roughly 80% of US adults see a physician each year, which is exactly why primary care is treated as a prime setting for promoting physical activity (PMC overview of physical activity counseling).
Postpartum movement is also a real gap you're positioned to fill. In qualitative research, women describe a lack of information, advice, and encouragement from the health system as a barrier to getting active again after birth (BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2016). A warm, specific recommendation closes that gap better than a generic 'try to walk more.'
What do your clients actually get? #
They get a calm, phone-only app that helps them rebuild a walking habit after birth without wearables, leaderboards, or 'bounce-back' pressure. MaMile tracks effort (a simple subjective RPE) and mood instead of pace or steps, and pairs it with a 30-second morning self-check — the track-effort-and-mood-not-steps approach. That matches how ACOG frames postpartum activity: resume gradually as soon as it's medically safe, with brisk walking as a model of moderate exercise toward about 150 minutes per week (ACOG, Physical Activity and Exercise During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period).
- A free 14-day trial — full features, no card pressure, cancel anytime.
- Effort + mood logging instead of steps, pace, or calorie counts.
- Honest empty states and a consistency-over-intensity design, so a client who walked once this week still feels seen, not shamed.
- Clear warning-sign guidance so they know when to slow down or call you — see postpartum-walking-warning-signs.
Because the trial bypasses pressure and meets clients where they are, it tends to land most with the people you worry about — the exhausted, the comparison-prone, the ones who've stalled. The most common postpartum exercise barrier is simply lack of time alongside fatigue, so a low-friction, phone-only nudge is the right tool for the moment (BMC barriers research).
How does the referral and co-branding actually work? #
It takes minutes. After you apply to become a partner, you're approved (usually within a few days) and you receive a personalized tracked link plus a QR code. Any family who starts a trial through your link is attributed to you automatically — there's nothing for you or your client to enter manually.
- Apply with your name, practice, professional category (doula, midwife, OB, IBCLC, pre/postnatal fitness, or other), and rough client-base size.
- Get approved and unlock your dashboard, tracked link, and QR code.
- Co-brand with the on-brand kit — printables and assets you can add your name to while keeping MaMile's visual identity.
- Recommend at the moment it fits: the clearance conversation, a postpartum check-in, a class.
- Track trials, conversions, and recurring earnings in your dashboard.
You also get three free printable handouts from the birth-professionals hub — a Postpartum Walking Plan (weeks 1–12), a Return-to-Running Checklist, and a 'When to Stop & Call' card — which you can brand and hand out in person even if you never join the paid program.
How does the practitioner actually earn? #
You earn 20% recurring commission for as long as each referred member stays subscribed — not a one-time bounty. Because it recurs, your earnings compound as your referred families stick with the habit, and there are no minimum quotas or performance targets to hit.
| What you do | What happens |
|---|---|
| Share your link / QR with a client | Trial is attributed to you automatically |
| Client subscribes after the 14-day trial | You start earning 20% of their subscription |
| Client stays subscribed month after month | Commission keeps recurring — no expiry |
| Client cancels | Commission simply stops; no clawback drama |
When should you bring it up with a client? #
The natural moment is when movement comes up: the six-week clearance conversation, a postpartum visit, or a class where someone says they don't know how to start again. Keep it honest and optional. If you walk clients through these moments, the doula six-week clearance conversation and the broader guiding clients back to movement hub give you scripts and framing.

Does it cost my client anything to use my link?
No. The 14-day trial is free, and your link doesn't change the price. You earn commission only if and when they choose to subscribe afterward.
How much can a practitioner earn?
You earn 20% of each referred member's subscription, recurring for as long as they stay subscribed. There are no quotas, so earnings scale with how well MaMile fits the clients you recommend it to.
Do I have to be a doula to join?
No. The program is open to doulas, midwives, OBs and physicians, lactation consultants (IBCLCs), pre/postnatal fitness pros, and others who support new and expecting families. Apply at mamile.app/partners/apply.
Can I use the printables without joining the paid program?
Yes. The Postpartum Walking Plan, Return-to-Running Checklist, and 'When to Stop & Call' card are free to download and brand from the birth-professionals hub, whether or not you become a commissioned partner.
Is recommending MaMile evidence-aligned?
It's built to mirror mainstream guidance — gradual return to activity and brisk walking toward roughly 150 minutes/week, per ACOG — while removing the competition and 'bounce-back' pressure that deter many postpartum clients. It supports your care; it doesn't replace it.
