I’m Shantel, your postpartum personal chef

As your personal postpartum chef, I provide specialized meal preparation services for new parents and families, focusing on nutrient dense, comforting meals to support recovery and well-being during the postpartum period.

As your chef, I offer menus to individual dietary needs and preferences, offering convenience and meal prep support. I’ll handle the grocery shopping, cooking, and clean up, so you can focus on rest and bonding with your baby.

Prioritizing the first 40 days after birth with a personal postpartum chef

  • By supporting your family with meal planning, shopping, cooking, and cleaning, new parents can dedicate their time and energy to healing and bonding with their baby. 

  • Meals are tailored to meet the specific dietary needs and preferences of your family. Picky eater? I got you covered!

  • Well-balanced, nutritious meals help replenish energy stores depleted by childbirth and newborn care, helping to improve mood and overall well-being. 

  • Meal plans can be customized to support milk supply, featuring ingredients known to enrich breastmilk and help maintain a steady lactation flow. 

Postpartum Ingredient Spotlight ~ Nutrition You Can Count On

  • Iron

    Helps replace lost blood and prevents fatigue. Find it in lean meats, leafy greens, and beans.

  • Fiber

    Aids digestion and prevents constipation, a common issue postpartum. Include whole grains, fruits, and vegetables in your diet. 

  • B Vitamins

    Important for energy production, mood regulation, and postpartum healing. Found in leafy greens and citrus fruits.

  • Protein Rich Foods

    Protein is crucial for tissue repair and recovery after childbirth. It supports breastmilk production and provides essential amino acids for your baby’s growth.

  • Warm Digestible Foods

    Hot teas, soups, stews, and broths are excellent options for warmth and comfort- a traditional way to promote healing.
