Join Our Table
Workshops, trainings, and gatherings built around one idea — that the mother should be fed too.
Most of what gets handed to a new mother is for the baby. The onesies, the swaddles, the little wooden toys. Beautiful things — but none of them feed her at 3 a.m.
Whether you're stocking your own freezer before baby arrives, training to bring food into the work you already do, gathering your people around someone you love, or setting a table for the providers who hold everyone else — everything here comes back to the same idea: a well-fed mother is the foundation everything else is built on.
Freezer Stash Workshop
For expecting families
Leave with your first two weeks of postpartum meals already made.
The advice everyone gives is "stock your freezer." Nobody tells you what to put in it.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll cook alongside me in a professional kitchen and go home with real food — the warming, blood-building, easy-to-digest meals that traditional postpartum care has relied on for centuries. Congee that reheats in minutes. Broths you can sip one-handed. Soups built for a body that's healing.
You'll learn the why behind each dish — why warm over cold, why broth first, why your body is asking for what it's asking for — so you can keep cooking this way long after the workshop ends.
Best booked: Between 28 and 36 weeks, though earlier is never wrong and always encouraged.
The Nourishment Certification
For doulas, newborn care specialists, midwives, and birth workers
A 4-week professional program in traditional postpartum food — so you can feed the families you already serve.
You're already in the home. You already know she isn't eating. And you've probably stood in someone's kitchen wondering what you could safely and confidently make for her.
This program teaches you exactly that.
Over four sessions, you'll learn the traditional framework behind postpartum nourishment — Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, the First Forty Days approach, and the ancestral food practices that show up in nearly every culture that takes the fourth trimester seriously. Then you'll cook. Broths, congees, soups, and the dishes that hold up across dietary needs, feeding situations, and recovery types.
The Nourishment Party
A gathering for her
A baby shower is for the baby. This one is for the mother.
Somewhere along the way we decided the right way to celebrate a woman entering the hardest, most transformative season of her life was to hand her a stack of diapers and ask her to guess the flavor of a melted candy bar.
There's another way to do this.
A Nourishment Party is a gathering built entirely around the mother. Warm food, made for the body she's carrying and the recovery ahead of her. A table set with intention. Room for the women who love her to actually say something to her. And instead of a pile of things she'll outgrow in eight weeks, she leaves with something that will hold her through the hardest part: food arriving at her door when the house has gone quiet.
How it works:
You choose your gathering. We cater the table — nourishing, seasonal, beautiful, and built to feed a room.
Guests give to her Nourishment Fund instead of bringing gifts. Every contribution goes directly toward her postpartum meal service.
When the baby arrives, the food starts. Warm meals, sipping broths, and lactation support delivered to her door.
Provider Dinners & Tastings
For practices, agencies, and birth professional gatherings
Headline: Provider Dinners & Tastings
Who books this: Birthing centers hosting open houses. Nanny and newborn care agencies feeding their teams. Practices bringing referral partners together. Anyone who's tired of ordering the same tray of sandwiches.
Birth workers spend their lives nourishing other families and rarely get nourished themselves.
A provider table changes that.
Whether it's an open house, a team appreciation night, a continuing education evening, or a room of doulas and midwives you're bringing together for the first time, we handle the food completely — warm, nourishing, beautifully set, and made from the same standards we cook to for our postpartum clients. Congee. Warm oats with pears. Sipping broths. Full dinners, You name it. Seasonal plates that look and taste like care.
Your guests get to eat a meal they didn't have to plan. You get a room that stays longer than it meant to.
What's included:
– A fully styled table or grazing setup, arranged on site
– Warm, seasonal food built around traditional postpartum nourishment or a table of whole food based nutritious meals
– Printed menu cards explaining what each dish does for a healing body
– Setup, service, and full cleanup
– All gluten-free, refined sugar–free, and made without seed oils
Also available as a tasting: If you refer clients to postpartum meal support — or you're considering adding food to your own services — a tasting lets your team experience exactly what your families would receive. Same food, smaller format, with time built in for questions.
FAQs
Do I need to know how to cook?
No. Most people who come to a Freezer Stash Workshop are not confident cooks — that's usually why they come. Everything is taught from the beginning.
I have dietary restrictions. Can you work with me?
Yes. Everything we make is already gluten-free, refined sugar–free, and made without seed oils. Tell us about dairy, shellfish, nightshades, or anything else when you book and we'll adjust. We don't currently offer kosher preparation.
Can I come if I've already had my baby?
Absolutely. Postpartum doesn't end at six weeks, and neither does the need for real food.
Can partners come?
Please bring them. A partner who knows how to make congee at 2 a.m. is worth more than most baby gear.
Do you travel outside Austin?
Private workshops and Nourishment Parties are available throughout Austin and surrounding areas. Further out, reach out and we'll talk.
Not sure which one is yours?
