Postpartum Nutrition food services
Cooking and nutrition are some of my personal hobbies and something I greatly enjoy and am deeply interested in. I love cooking and baking, mostly for others! In early 2020, I started a Nutrition for Doulas course with Birth Arts International. I completed this course in 2022 and learnt so much about postpartum recovery and the specific needs of the body after birthing a baby. I furthered this learning with an online course designed by Kimberley Ann Johnson and Kate Pope in early 2024.
When I had my third baby and already had a preschooler and primary school aged child, I really developed an appreciation for any meal I was not making!
Now, it is time for me to relieve new parents of the burden of daily cooking!
What past clients have said:
"My SIL is enjoying the dishes you made, thank you. Is there anything better than the gift of food!!"
"You’re a superstar, I’ve no idea how you managed all this. I’m tucking into a fish pie as we speak & it’s super delicious. I can’t wait to try everything else. Delighted to know I’m being fed so well. Every new mom needs an Amélie."
"Oh my God, the stirfry was unbelievable!!!’ Like better than takeaway. I nearly ate ALL of it. Is the secret the oil you used? Because it seemed lovely and fatty?"
"Miso broth is AMAZING! I had it when we woke and it hit the spot!"
"The soup was just belly hug yummy!"
"A Postpartum highlight for me!"
Batch cooking is great and saves time. Have fresh healthy meals ready in your freezer whenever you need them! Or cook for a few hours at the weekend and have your daily meals ready to go each evening during the week.
New parents have enough to be doing and are generally hungry and tired a lot of the time! Ordering a take away becomes the easy solution, but it comes with some guilt and is not a long term sustainable option if you want to have a healthy diet.
The service I offer is sustainable, flexible and expertly tailored to the nutritional needs of women recovering from pregnancy and childbirth and in the process of establishing breastfeeding.
This healthy meals service responds to the needs of a wide variety of parents.
I can cater for most dietary requirements and will provide you with fresh, healthy AND tasty family meals, one hand snacks and home baked tasty treats!
Below you will find a sample menu, however I would love for you to tell me what your favorite meals are so that I can give you what you want and need and not only what I have on offer!
The batch cooking service I want to provide is just like my full Postpartum Doula support service: tailored to your needs and as flexible as you want it to be!
My guarantee is to offer you fresh food, locally bought ingredients, generous portions and dishes that are always made to order, to your specific requirements!
This service comes as a natural extension to the Focus on Food service package I offer during the first 6 to 10 weeks postpartum.

There are 3 options to choose from:
Why not ask family members or friends to order dishes for you and bring them to you when they visit or have them purchase a gift certificate for you!
1- Batch cooking in your home
I can come to your home and batch cook any meals you want. You can do your own food shopping for all the ingredients needed, tell me what recipes you want made and I will come to your house, cook the meals you want, get them fridge or freezer ready, as you need with you and tidy up after!
This batch cooking service can be for your weekly meal plan, all the ingredients prepped and ready in the fridge for your daily evening meals. Or it can be a freezer batch cooking session, or a mix of both!
If you would like to look at the menu below you will be able to pick some of those dishes too!
This service costs €30 per hour. The minimum session is 3 hours.
