Someone is taking care of the food.
Imagine a loaf of buttery bread baking in the oven, a hearty pot of stew simmering on the stove. There’s tea brewing, too, and the soft hum of a home in its gentle, life sustaining work. But you’re not in the kitchen– Charmaine is.
You, the mama, are snuggled up with your newborn, with no agenda in particular except getting to know each other better. Or your babe is catching up on sleep, and you’re taking the time to sink down under the covers for some much-needed rest.
Your warm, nourishing breakfast? Served to you in bed.
Your family’s meals? Taken care of.
The cozy smells of spices and butter and rich stews wafting through the household? All yours with none of the work. (Not even the dishes!)
Just food, warmth, and a little space to rest and recover while someone else takes care of the kitchen.
What Happens When I Come to Your Home?
- We talk about what you need.
Before I first set foot in your kitchen, we chat about what your vision of a healing and nourished postpartum would look like for you. Which foods do you love? Which ones do you not care for? What does your family enjoy?
Based on this conversation, I then plan a custom menu designed around your family’s needs and preferences.
2. I prepare nourishing food for you and your family.
During my visits, I take special care to make warm, restorative dishes to serve to the mother while she rests. But in between a nutrient-dense breakfast and lunch, I also prepare family-sized meals to carry your household through the days ahead. No ordering pizza here! 😉
3. I make sure mama gets fed, too.
Even mothers who are surrounded by a loving family and meal trains can find themselves forgetting to eat in the beautiful busyness of the fourth trimester. That’s why I don’t just prepare food for you—I make sure you actually get to eat it. Warm porridges, soups, eggs, tea, and more, brought right to your bedside.
4. You get to rest while I leave your kitchen stocked and cared for.
By the time I leave, you’ll have nourishing meals and snacks ready for your family, along with simple instructions for storage and reheating.
And your kitchen? Clean and calm, with everything cared for and ready for your family to enjoy.
You get to close the door on the kitchen and get back to the important work of resting, recovering, and getting to know your new baby.
