Our Philosophy

“INDEED A NEW MOTHER IS JUST AS FRAGILE AS HER BABY.”

Postpartum, also called the 4th trimester, is a sacred time of physical healing and emotional adjustment. Moms must replenish lost nutrients, produce breast milk, rebalance hormones and bond with a new baby all while healing from the physical trauma of Birth.

Our ancestors knew proper postpartum recovery keeps depression at bay, helps build strong emotional connections, and can even prevent future illness. Societal pressure for Moms today to bounce back to their pre-baby body, productivity, and high-spirits is a sign we have lost our way.  

The Postpartum Revolution is a movement to remember our maternal roots, to give new Moms permission to rest, recover, and bond, and to help them be the glue that holds a family unit together.  

“LET FOOD BE THY MEDICINE AND MEDICINE BE THY FOOD.” - HIPPOCRATES

Our Ingredients:

We pull from maternal care principles found in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda and Weston A. Price to create nourishing meals that are warm, soft, nutrient-dense, and easy-to-digest, exactly what a postpartum body needs.

Our food contains:

  • Iron to rebuild blood
  • Protein to repair tissues and support hormones
  • Fatty acids to enrich breast milk
  • Vitamins and antioxidants to speed tissue healing
  • Therapeutic herbs and spices to combat inflammation and infections

We are 100% gluten-free, mostly organic, and always non-GMO.  Grains are soaked using traditional methods to reduce phytic acid and increase digestibility.

We believe animals should be honored and respected.  

Meat and organs are the highest source of bioavailable nutrients on the planet.  Think of how your great-great grandparents raised animals. Cows were grass-fed and pasture-raised next to chickens who pecked at bugs.  They lived mostly outdoors, got plenty of sun and exercise, and were strong and healthy.  We partner with local farms to source meat from well-treated animals that live a natural life.  The cost is generally 3x factory-farmed meat, and worth every penny.

The only dairy used is grass-fed butter or ghee, and our chicken and beef bone broths are infused with adaptogenic mushrooms and healing herbs.  Sweeteners are raw honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar.


THIS IS REAL FOOD, NO PRESERVATIVES, MADE WITH LOVE.

Her business is genius!

I am so glad I found mama meals; her business is genius! If you’re like me and looking for healthy, nutrient dense postpartum meals (that are also delicious) you have to try her food. She goes above and beyond with quality, which I highly appreciate. Every ingredient has a purpose. And she uses the proper oils, fats, high quality ingredients, and cooking techniques to make the most nutritious, easily digestible foods for mamas.

Took me until my third baby to realize the power of food

Postpartum is such a gentle yet disruptive, unique time of healing and feeling all that comes with being a new mom, whether it’s your first baby or not. With each birth comes the need to slow down and re-evaluate what it means to nourish and heal your body, mind and spirit so that you can then pour yourself out daily for your new creation(s). Warm, healthy, nutrient-dense, exceptional quality FOOD is the first line of healing and health for a new mom. It took me until my third birth to realize the power of having good foods stocked and within minutes of being able to eat. Having these Stews, Oatmeals and Lactation Cookies from Mama Meals was the difference between my last postpartum journeys and the success I’ve had with it this time around. The meals are crafted with love, packed with great quality ingredients, absolutely delicious AND set me up for great success with having my milk come in!

Above and beyond!

I reached out to Holly when my milk supply started to crash after having my first child. She went above and beyond just giving me a list of things to help and whipped me up some amazingly tasty oatmeal and lactation cookies that were better than anything I had tried! Everything she made helped me, and the lactation cookies were so good my husband couldn't stop eating them. Thank you Holly for your kindness, expertise and support through my post partum journey.
