In-Home Meal Preparation

I have been cooking since I was a kid and it’s one of my very favorite things to do. It incorporates all of the senses, all of the emotions, and it’s something I find meditative and healing. It’s the ultimate act of love. I deeply enjoy spending time in the kitchen, carefully tending to each ingredient while humming my favorite songs as I prepare a beautiful meal for my clients or loved ones, leaving them feeling cared for and deeply nourished. I truly believe that the energy you bring into the kitchen and the attention you give to each ingredient makes for a more beautiful and nourishing meal. I love to serve meals on beautiful trays with neatly folded linen napkins and a fresh flower clipping.

The postpartum body goes through a lot in pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. In addition to childbirth, there is significant physiological depletion (micro and macronutrient insufficiencies) that occurs in pregnancy, leaving mothers running a deficit even before entering labor. Postpartum depletion results from the maternal body sending the necessary nutrients to the baby in utero even if at the mother’s expense, and continues as we give our babies our life-giving breastmilk.

Nourishment in the days and weeks after pregnancy and childbirth becomes mission critical to no only bring the body back to baseline, but help us heal, support our mood, help with digestion and optimize our breastmilk. I follow a healing Ayurvedic protocol with my clients, where warmth, healthy fats, protein, mico-nutrients and fiber are the heart of every meal.

Think organic whole vegetables, ghee, well-sourced and grass fed meats and fish, fresh and soaked legumes, whole grains, stewed fruits. Warm and grounding dishes of soups, stews, slow cooked meats, curries. Snacks of stewed and spiced fruit, protein packed snack bites, soaked nuts and seeds, goji berries and dates. Warming drinks of spiced milk, turmeric and ashwaganda lattes and fresh herbal teas.
