Why Hire A Postpartum Chef?

Postpartum healing begins with rest.

Having someone prepare wholesome, homemade meals for you means you can rest and focus on what truly matters: recovering and bonding with your newborn.

Postpartum individuals often face societal pressures to quickly return to their pre-pregnancy routines, bodies, and careers. It’s easy for your own needs to be overlooked as you prioritize others. I’m here to help you put yourself first.

I provide fresh, homemade meals designed to support your postpartum recovery. Comforting and nourishing dishes are crafted to soothe the stresses of childbirth and sustain you as you care for your baby—and yourself. With the support of a Postpartum Chef, you can enjoy the healing power of homemade food & the time to rest deeply and fully.

Personalized meals are prepared weekly in the homes of new families, while others can opt to receive a delivery of delicious, nutrient-rich meals that I prepare in a local commercial kitchen once a week.

MY COMMITMENT FOR THE FUTURE

As I deepen relationships with local birth professionals & create stronger partnerships with established social service organizations, Woven Kitchens will provide these essential meals to new parents in Western Massachusetts who are underserved & in need of nourishing foods. 

Woven Kitchens is committed to

serving all growing families.

Postpartum care and nourishment

is essential to well-being.
