Nourishing the Mama

Organic Postpartum Meal delivery & Private in-Home Postpartum Chef

How It works

I am here to celebrate the importance of nourishment for the postpartum time and Nourish you, Mama!

Eating organic, nutrient dense foods catered to the postpartum mama’s body is essential for healing and recovery. I support you in focusing on foods that nourish you. I see food as medicine. Allowing for the vital nutrients & minerals to come from the food we eat.

I focus on meals that are Warm, Soft, Organic, Nutrient Dense, & Locally Sourced.

All of my cooking is inspired by the remembrance of Ancestral Foods, Ayurveda, TCM, Weston A Price, Gaps, & eating Locally & Seasonally. Offering mamas & families the opportunity to receive meals catered for their healing.

Postpartum also known as the first 40 days, & the forth trimester, is a sacred time for the family. Mama is healing physically and emotionally from birth. She’s spending this time falling more in love with her baby. Mothering is a full time job & there is so many things to keep track of.

As families are getting to know this little one, the body is simultaneously replenishing lost nutrients, producing breast milk and rebalancing hormones.  Its essential for milk production & to maintain vital energy in the body that mom is eating and listening to her hunger cues.

During this time its important to avoid cold, raw, cruciferous vegetables, processed sugar & processed foods. Favoring warm, soft, easy-to-digest meals that promote healing.
