postpartum meal support

As a postpartum cook, I support you by preparing and delivering warm, nourishing meals for you and your family.  While I cook for you, you can focus on your own healing and recovery, as well as learning, bonding, and spending time with your new baby. The meals I deliver to your home are designed to support your postpartum body's recovery by keeping you warm, rebuilding your blood, and supporting lactation.
​
My postpartum meal support services are personalized based on your needs, desires, and dietary restrictions, and can include a wide variety of meal options - soups and stews, casseroles, vegetables, grains, herbal teas, snacks and desserts - either delivered as part of a meal package or as selected items from a menu. 

postpartum meal delivery

In your initial consultation, we would discuss your family's needs and preferences to establish a postpartum meal delivery plan. Postpartum meal delivery can be charged hourly or we can create a package to meet your needs. My hourly rate is $40/hour. The hourly rate includes the time it takes to shop, cook, prepare, and deliver the food, plus the total cost of ingredients. The package rates include all of those costs. Here are a couple sample packages to give you an idea of what is possible: 
$400 Package
  • 1 large soup or stew 
  • 1 large casserole 
  • 1 cooked grain
  • 2 cooked vegetable side dishes ​
  • 1 dessert or batch of lactation bars 
  • 1 jar herbal tea
$200 Package
  • 1 large soup or stew
  • 2 cooked vegetable side dishes 
  • 1 jar herbal tea
