Postpartum Meal Prep + Delivery
Pamper a friend or family member with delicious, nourishing meals following a significant life event, such as the birth of a child or a major surgery. Meredith will prepare and deliver meals to make life a touch easier during times of transition. Email Meredith to discuss how she can help you support and take care of your loved one (or yourself!)
ABOUT POSTPARTUM MEAL PREP + THE AYURVEDIC APPROACH
Postpartum meals integrate the wisdom of Ayurveda (as well as Chinese Medicine and other traditional diets) to inform menu and ingredient selections. Each menu is designed with care to help nurture mothers during the "fourth trimester," and to help promote healthy breastmilk production. In addition to my culinary training, I am a credentialed Ayurvedic Health Counselor and have completed in-depth coursework in perinatal wellness.
Postpartum meals focus on simple, warming and easy to digest foods in the days immediately following birth to help rebuild the dampened digestive fire that accompanies the delivery of a baby. In subsequent weeks, we continue to focus on cooked foods that are grounding in nature and that specifically help rebuild one’s vital energy.
The custom menus that I offer can be tailored to help address and alleviate various conditions that commonly arise in postpartum including heavy bleeding, swelling, low milk supply (or oversupply), mood disorders, and more.
Postpartum menus can be tailored for various special diets, including gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, etc. Please inquire directly for rates and availability.
