I'm a Certified Postpartum Doula, Le Cordon Bleu Trained Chef, & Somatica® Trained Intimacy Coach. My practice is built on five pillars: nourishment, rest and recovery, support, connection, and warmth. I cook with intention, creating simple, restorative meals that promote healing from the inside out. Guided by traditional postpartum wisdom and the principles found in The First Forty Days, each meal is designed to replenish the body, support lactation, and comfort the soul—always warm, nutrient-dense, and rooted in care. Support also extends beyond the kitchen. With training in communication and relational awareness, I bring gentle insight to the emotional landscape of new parenthood. I’m attuned not only to the birthing person and baby, but also to partners, who sometimes struggle to find their footing in this new landscape. I help families navigate shifting rhythms of connection so everyone feels seen, supported, and resourced.
