Mama to baby Leo, wife to chef Tim, and postpartum doula here to support you.

The idea for The Postpartum Chef began years ago when I discovered Heng Ou’s The First Forty Days. Though I wasn’t yet a doula or a mother, the book captivated me. The beautiful images, the nourishing recipes with unique ingredients, and the focus on postpartum care sparked something in me. From that moment, I knew postpartum cooking was my passion.

Fast forward five years to the arrival of our son, Leo. In the weeks before his birth, I dedicated myself to preparing for the postpartum journey, expecting it to be a time of transformation and challenge. I gathered recipes, made shopping lists, visited farmers' markets, and stocked up on everything I needed. When Leo arrived, I was ready. I had the blessing of an incredible postpartum experience, with Tim cooking nourishing meals while I rested with our newborn.

At The Postpartum Chef, we believe that the transition into motherhood deserves celebration, care, and nourishment. Our mission is simple: we provide new mothers with freshly prepared, nutrient-dense meals that support postpartum recovery, enhance lactation, and promote overall well-being during this transformative time.

The Postpartum Chef is a collaboration between myself and my husband, Tim, a fine dining and private chef. Together, we’ve fine-tuned recipes that use food as medicine, prioritizing nutrition, supporting lactation, and encouraging recovery. Whether you’re healing from childbirth, navigating the emotional rollercoaster of motherhood, or simply craving a comforting meal, we’ve got you covered.
