What I Do

I’m a trained postpartum chef and doula, and I’m passionate about providing you with nourishing meals to support your body after pregnancy and birth. I’m a huge believer in the power of food and care in healing. I’m Carrot-certified and happy to work with you via any other employer benefits you have.

I provide:

  • Nourishing meal support as a personal postpartum chef. My menu is seasonal and attuned to your unique needs and dietary requests.

  • Guidance through the physical and emotional transition after birth and answers to your questions about the postpartum period, with assistance and education in early newborn care.

  • General care for your newborn while you’re resting, including feeding, comforting, naps, and diaper changes.

  • Light housework, including dishes, tidying up and laundry.

  • Pre-baby consultation to set your family up for success before you bring baby home.
