The oPPal Sparkle — Chapter One: Los Angeles
Welcome! My name is Melanie Kaplan, founder of oPPal and I’m so excited for the launch of our app and our first community event!
We're officially launching on May 7th!
oPPal is a new peer support platform for postpartum moms — and we're doing it the only way that made sense: by throwing a morning for the moms who need it most.
The oPPal Sparkle is an inaugural celebration and curated morning experience for moms who are pregnant, newly postpartum, or still figuring it all out, hosted by Caitlin Wilder of @wilderbeginnings. Rotate through expert-led corners covering everything from feeding and sleep to recovery and community — each one powered by the brands we actually trust.
Plus: oPPal Speed Dating — our signature way to connect moms with each other in real life.
Please follow us on IG for exciting updates heading into the launch.
**We know life with a newborn doesn't pause — babies are welcome as long as they're happy in a carrier!
