Postpartum Care Packages
I service Kaipara, New Zealand. This is holistic Mother-centred postpartum care. The main focus is the nourishment of Mama, supporting her to optimally heal after pregnancy and birth and to witness, hold and celebrate her through her transition into Motherhood (for the 1st or 5th time). I have several packages available, ranging from four weeks care postpartum to 12 care weeks postpartum. Each includes two pregnancy visits. If you are later stages of postpartum (even several years), and are in need of care, please reach out. We can tailor a package to your needs.
Postpartum Food Packages
In need of some extra support postpartum? Or interested in giving a new Mother the gift of nourishment?
Held By Nature food packages include postpartum specific meals, nourishing sweet treats & delicious elixirs. Meals are mostly organic, easy to digest and made specifically to support Mother's body in healing. I am an advocate for animal based foods for adequate healing, but feel free to speak with me about vegetarian options, allergies or intolerances. While these are made with the new Mother in mind, they will be deeply nourishing for a Mother at any point in her journey (even pregnancy).
Some examples of meals on my menu are:
Moroccan Slow Cooked Lamb & Rice
Belly nourishing Postpartum Ginger Congee w/ garlic browned in ghee
Ayurvedic Spiced Red Lentil & Pumpkin Soup
Warming Ginger, Chicken and Vegetable soup.
Postpartum Cottage Pie (made with warming postpartum spices and topped with pumpkin, squash or kumara - a real menu favourite!)
Sweet treats include:
Cacao Almond Vanilla Bliss Balls
Ayurvedic Spiced Postpartum Rice Pudding
Spiced Buckwheat Butter Cookies
Rose Cacao Kumara Brownie.
Elixirs include:
Ginger, rose, chamomile and maple infusion, nettle infusion, creamy spiced cacao, ginger, rose and maple infusion, lemon balm infusion.
This makes a great gift for a new Mother. Instead of baby shower gifts, get together with some others and gift a new Mother the gift of nourishment.
